Baltimore
It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
it's someplace to call my own
it's all kinds of people
familiar places smiling ffaces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
but the 'Birds' are the best
the best of Baltimore
we like it here in Baltimore
there's so much to love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
to enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore
the sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
in a working American city
with all the people who make it that way
it's time to jump in a taxi
for Thirty-third Street
knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
watching Weaver's show
we like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
we're working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind

Daisy Dead Petals
Daisy Dead Petals that is her name
she's in a phone booth phase so
underneath the shade of a peppermint tray
she can turn it out with a heal on she just rides into town
knowing what they'll say knowing they're around the corner
got a crack in got a crack in some strange places
Daisy Dead Petals that is her name.
so maybe she tastes like a hamburger maid well
these dead petals honey brought me here
she said "these dead petals honey brought me here"
dancing on a dime hearing mother cry
maybe she's around the corner
got a crack in got a crack in some strange places
on my back with on my back with some dirty dishes
falling down, falling down, all over the river
falling down, falling down, falling down
wish what I'm feeling could go on like this forever
falling down, falling down, falling down
and since we're down might as well stay
might as well fry some eggs
and wave to the shade of the peppermint tray
she's a new friend not a skeleton to ride into town
knowing what they'll say knowing she tastes like a hamburger maid,
but
"these dead petals honey brought me here"
she said, "these dead petals honey brought me here."
Etienne
Maybe I'm a witch lost in time
running through the fields of Scotland by your side
kicked out of France but I still believe
taken to a land far across the sea
Ettienne, Etienne
hear the west wind whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
by the morning maybe we'll remember who I am
maybe you're the knight who saved my life
maybe we faced the fire side by side
here we are again under the same sky
as the gypsy crystal slowly dies
Ettienne, Etienne
hear the west wind whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
by the morning maybe we'll remember who I am
I close my eyes see you again
I know I've held you but I can't remember where or when
Ettienne, Etienne
hear the west wind whisper my name
Etienne, Etienne
by the morning maybe we'll remember who I am
maybe I'm a witch
Floating City
You went away
did you leave me
you know I believed you
nothing explained
where are the answers
I know I need you
tell me is your city paved with gold
is there hunger
do your people grow old
do your governments have secrets that they've sold
every night I wait take me away
to your floating city
by my window at night
I see the lights to your floating city
come and take me away
I want to play in your floating city
floating city
T.V. turns off
any of us that
say that we've seen you
tell me are we
the only planet
that can't conceive you
will we be like Atlantis long ago
so assured that we're advanced
with what we know
that our spirit never had time to grow
is it weak to look for
saviors out in space
little Earth she tries so hard
to change our ways
sometimes she must get
sick of this place
Flying Dutchman
Hey kid, I got a ride for you
they say your brain is a comic book tattoo
and you'll never be anything
what will you do with your life
that's all you hear from noon till night
take a trip on a rocket ship baby where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out-a-sight
Flying Dutchman are you out there
Flying Dutchman are you out there
straight suits, they don't understand
she tried, that one, with the alligator boots but the other side
drew her in
heart falling fast when she left, even the Milky Way was dressed
in black
take a trip on a rocket ship baby where the sea is the sky
I know the guy who runs the place and he's out-a-sight
Flying Dutchman are you out there
Flying Dutchman are you out there
cause they can't see what you're born to be
they can see me
they can't be
what they can't believe
they can see what you see
they'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world ah.
tie him up so he won't say a word
they'll keep the boy spinning in their own little world
so afraid he'll be what they never were
Here. In My Head
In my head I found you there
and running around and following me
but you don't dare
but I find that I now, now, more
than I ever wanted to
so maybe Thomas Jefferson wasn't born
in your backyard like you have said and
maybe I'm just the horizon you run to when she has left
you there you are, here in my head and
running around and calling me "come back
I'll show you the roses that brush off the snow and
open their petals again and again" and you know that
apple green ice cream can melt in your hands I can't so I
held you hand at the fair and
even forgot what time it was
and even Thomas Jerrerson wasn't born
in your backyard like you have said and
maybe I'm just the horizon you jun to
when she has left you and me here alone on the floor
you're counting my feathers as the bells toll
you see the bow and belt and the girl fromt he south all
favorites of mine you know them all well
and spring brings fresh little puddles that makes it all clear makes
it all
do you know what this is diong to me
here in my head.
Home On The Range: Cherokee Edition
Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play
where deldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
home home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
well Jackson made deals, a thief down to his heels
hello trail of tears
the Smokies could hide a Cherokee bride,
her brave was shot yesterday.
home home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
we know it's not Caroline
your home is your homme
the range may be fine for some but not in my eyes
home home on the range
the Smokies always hide a
Cherokee bride but in her eyes
We know it's not Caroline.
America
who discovered your ass
the white man came "this land is my land
this is your land" they sang
home home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Honey
A little dust never stopped me none he liked my shoes I kept them
on
sometimes I can hold my tongue sometimes not,
when you just skip-to-loo my darlin'
and you know what you're doin' so don't even
you're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
and I think I could leave your world
if she was the better girl
so when we died I tried to bribe the undertaker
cause I'm not sure what you're doin' or the reason
you're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
don't bother coming down
I made a friend of the western sky
don't bother coming down
you always liked your babies tight
turn back one last time love to watch those cowboys ride
but cowboys know cowgirls ride on the Indian side
and you know what you're doin' so don't even
you're just too used to my honey now
you're just too used to my honey
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great, great fall and
all the kind's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
Humpty Dumpty and Betty Louise
stole a Sony and some Camembert cheese
and she said "Humpty baby
take me to the river
cause I like the way it runs
take me to the river
you know I like the way it runs"
he said "ah, ooh, everything's going my way"
he said "maybe it's my lucky day"
I said "anything you want I can give"
she said "I want to take your picture, mm, just for me"
he said "anything"
she said "up there baby get on the wall babe"
Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall
and looked at her as he was falling and
all the king's horses and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again
hey Betty Louise Betty Louise
she said "I like custard in the summer, honey"
what it takes to be Queen

Mary
Everybody wants something from you
everybody wants a piece of Mary
lush valley all dressed in green
just ripe for the picking
god I want to get you out of here
you can ride in a pink Mustang
when I think of what we've done to you
Mary can you hear me
growing up isn't always fun
they tore your dress and stole your ribbons
they see you cry they lick their lips
well butterflies don't belong in nets
Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
we're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"
everybody wants you sweetheart
everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
they got her armed as they buy and sell her
rivers of milk running dry
can't you hear the dolphins crying
what'll we do when our babies scream
fill their mouths with some acid rain
Mary can you hear me
Mary you're bleeding, Mary don't be afraid
we're just wakiang up and I hear help is on the way
Mary can you hear me
Mary, like Jimmy said, Mary don't be afraid
"cause even the wind even the wind cries your name"
Ode To The Banana King (Part 1)
Turning back ten thousand years
it's all a blur where the taxis go
monster man a willing friend
lucy serves the melon cold
violent and delicious souls
four red trucks dressed illegally
mother knows how the bugle blows
gonna get caught gonna get caught
gonna get caught in her rug
this is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
boats made out of paper float
dreams made up for the Banana King. darling
crubs you have lapped freely of
devious we all have been
violent and delicious souls
violent and delicious souls
this is not a conclusion
no revolution
just a little confusion
on where your head has been
The Pool
one with her hands
open
"Don't Be afriad" She said
"No one will know it -
just you and me"
and when it's over
I'll go back

Sister Janet
Master Shaman, I have come with my dolly from the shadow side
with a demon and an Englishman. I'm my mother I'm my son
nobody else is slipping the blade in easy
nobody else is slipping the blade in the marmalade
but all the angels and all the wizards, black and white
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel them, yes, touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Marianne
Sister Janet, you have come from the woman clothed with the sun
your veil is quietly becoming non. Call the Wanderer he has gone
and all those up there are making it look so easy
with your perfect wings
a wing can cover all sorts of things
this again
well I think I could try this once again
and all the angels and all the wizards, black and white,
are lighting candles in our hands
can you feel then, yes, touching hands before our eyes
and I can even see sweet Marianne
Song For Eric
I wait all day for my sailor and sometimes he comes
see you over hill and dale
riding on the wind I see
you know me you know me like the nightingale
"oh fair maiden, I see you standing there."
will you hold me for just a fair time
the tune is playing in the fair night
I see you in my dreams
fair boy your eyes haunt me
Sugar
Don't say morning's come
don't say it's up to me
if I could take twenty five minutes
out of the record books
sugar he brings me sugar
Bobby's collecting bees
and hammers he used one on me
cold war with little boys
get in with a bubble gum trade
sugar bring me sugar
I know the robins bring, bring me many things but
sugar he brings me sugar
as far as I can tell
I've been gone for miles now
and you know and I know I don't know me very well
and I know and you know if they found me out
sugar he brings me sugar
I know the robins bring they bring many things
sugar he brings me sugar
Sweet Dreams
"Lie, lie, lies ev'rywhere," said the father to the son

you say, "he gotta be strong if you wanna be a man"
mister I don't know how you can have
sweet dreams sweet dreas.
land, land of liberty
we're run by a constipated man
when you live in the past
you refuse to see when your
daughter comes home nine months pregnant
with five billion points of light
gonna shine em on the face of your friends
they got the earth in a sling
they got the world on her knees
they even got your zipper between they teeth
sweet dreams sweet dreams.

I got a hazy lazy Susan
takin turns all over my dreams
I got lizards and snakes runnin' through my body
funny how they all have my face.
sweet dreams sweet dreams
Take To The Sky
This house is like Russia with eyes cold and grey
you got me moving in a circle, I dyed my hair red today
I just want a little passion to hold me in the dark
I know I got some magic buried, buried deep in my heart
but my priest says you ain't saving no souls
my father says you ain't makin' any money
my doctor says you just took it to the limit
and here I stand with this sword in my hand
you can say it one more time what you don't like
let me hear it one more time
then have a seat while I take to the sky
my heart is like the ocean it gets in the way
so close to touching freedom then I hear the guards call my name
and my priest says you ain't saving no souls
my father says you ain't makin' any money
my doctor says you just took it to the limit
and here I stand with this sword in my hand
you can say it one more time what you don't like
let me hear it one more time
then have a seat while I take to the sky
if you don't like me just a little, well, why do you hang around
if you don't like me just a little why do you take it
this house is like Russia
you can say it one more time you can say it one more time
you can say it one more time what you don't like
let me hear it one more time
the have a seat while I take to the sky
