In holland there is a table. In front of me. With cafe' au lait. And some kind of cookie. Outside the window. There's a wide and gentle canal. Two swans swim in it,.
When I wake up in my tree. Wake up in my bedroom tree. A little girl and a parakeet. Are singing to me. . My, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom. Why would I ever wanna leave.
The day is blue, there's nothing to do. But watch the sad review of life going by.... . All the broken people in a world of hurt. And all the hungry people crying in the dirt.
I guess, God said. "Its time to let the little people have the salad days. Somebody cut the rain. Let there be lawn chairs in the shade for everyone. .
Oh daddy, when you gonna write that big hit?. Oh daddy, when you gonna hit it real big, real big?. . Well, now that's a tall request. For such a small little girl.
I don't wanna live. Anywhere. I wanna live, I wanna live everywhere. In a rolling big house. Full of fresh air. A motor bungalow,. Round and comfortable.
I lived inside a tear. Time magnified my fear. That the world around me. Was only getting more severe. . On May 1, 1990. Something changed inside me. And I, I saw the stars align.
So welcome to the real world. Where there's nowhere to hide. From the pain and hurt,. You've got to take it in stride. You say you've got your big problems,.
I walk alone where the streets are paved with lovers. They're hand in hand and they're deep in one another. And why can't it be you and me?. Together we'd be so happy.
People like us have our eyes on the stars. And we keep informed via TV guide. And we entertain in a house of cards. But the trouble remains in our sleeping hearts.
Pay here chimpanzee. Don't park under the aviary. Walk through heatwave afternoon fast food, hot zoo. . Do the shuffle to the buffalo. See the mad monkey by the lonely pay phone.
Color futurevision. . Red...for the angry young skinhead. With a gun stuck down his pants. And his hands wrapped around a gasoline can. Blue...for the cruel nude tattoo.
I know I should feel welcome here. Way up in the atmosphere. But I am afraid. And if I land on earth again. I'll be happy just to cut my face. While I shave.
Can you see me as your heart sees. Not apart from you, but a part of you?. And remember me as the man I am. Not the things I do or faults I have. . And when you lie asleep at night.
And when Man gained dominion. over land and the oceans. he began to harm the planet. with his asphalt and his toxins. and to lay the forest bare. and to poison even the air.
