Playing Possum Lyrics - Carly Simon

(Carly Simon) 

We lived up here in Cambridge 

And browsed in the hippest newsstands 

The we started our own newspaper 

Gave the truth about Uncle Sam 

We loved to be so radical 

But like a ragged love affair 

Some became disenchanted 

And some of us just got scared

Now are you playing possum 

Keeping a low profile 

Are you playing possum for a while 

then you moved to the country 

Bought a farm and tilled the land 

Then you took your books to India 

And got hooked on a holy man 

But the wells they do run dry 

And the speeches turn to words 

And the woods are full of tigers 

And freedom's for the birds 

Photos 

Now you run a bookstore 

And you've taken on a wife 

You wear patches on your elbows 

And you live an easy life 

But are you finally satisfied 

Is it what you were lookin' for 

Or does it sneak up on you 

that there might be something more
