Official Non-Album Tracks
Me and this city we just ain't getting along
I've already hung around here too long
Me and this city are 'bout to go round and round
There ain't enough room for the two of us in this town
Might have been a time when we made a pretty pair
When I was on a roll and had a few dollars to spare
But now I'm on the run and I can seem to get no where
Me and this city we're done with our love affair
China Town San Francisco
Haugesund or Seattle
Anywhere my heart is drawn
'Cause me and this city we just ain't getting along
True we had one hell of a honeymoon
When liquor pour like rain for the bride and groom
But I was a fool thinking I held the key to you
Now is a race wondering who would be the first and who wins
Border town San Diego
Further south Cape San Lazaro
Anywhere my heart is drawn
'Cause me and this city we just ain't getting along
'Cause me and this city we just ain't getting along
'Cause me and this city we just ain't getting along
Come into the tent
come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
After a long day
down at the track
He can't wait to come galloping back
Kicks off his shoes his tail coat and slacks
Picks up the news has a beer to relax
Come into the tent
come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
Wife and a family
trotting 'round the house
Run and grab his slippers for his feet
Feels so hungry he could eat a man
But a man's too bitter to eat
Come into the tent
come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a feat
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
Then the clock
strikes ten he's off to bed
Goes upstairs where the bed's pulled down
His wife gives a listen 'til he begin to snore
'Fore she start off rifling through the pockets of her lord
Come into the tent
come one come all
Come and see the Goodnight Horse perform
Never has America seen such a sight
As a fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed
horse is a beast transformed
A fully clothed horse is a beast transformed
Never seen the
likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Ooh
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Never seen the likes of a Goodnight Horse
Ah ah
Curled-up by the
station you are
Nothing to your name but a bag on your shoulder well
Where could you be bound
No one there to say goodbye
Waitin' for a train to take you out to another life
All dreams let you down
There's a world
outside
Your mama doesn't want you to know about
Where the night's alive and vellum coaches cruise
With their black windows down
It's up to you
Buckaroo
It's up to you
Hey you're still wild west and true
It's up to you Buckaroo
Light a-coming down the track
You wonder what you're leaving but you can't help looking back
You're still as death as in a photograph
There's a world
ahead
That you've only read of in magazines
Where the sidewalks shine with the names of stars
From the silver screen
It's up to you
Buckaroo
It's up to you
Hey you're still wild west and true
It's up to you Buckaroo
Once back at home
they'll be laughing and counting the days
'Til you return oh that they never learn
That you don't live for them anyway
No you don't live for them anyway
It's up to you
Buckaroo
It's up to you
Hey you're still wild west and true
It's up to you Buckaroo
It's up to you
Buckaroo
It's up to you
Hey you're still wild west and true
It's up to you Buckaroo
Ooh ooh
Still wild
Still wild
It's up to you Buckaroo
It's up to you
Hey you're still wild west and true
It's up to you Buckaroo
Ooh ooh
Ooh you're still
wild
Still wild
[Kurt Vonnegut: TV is enough... is providing artificial friends and relatives to lonely people. What, what it is, is uh, recurrent families; the same friends and relatives come back, week after week, after week, after week. And they're wittier, and they're better looking, and they're much more interesting, and they're richer than your real friends and relatives.]
Where is the love
from birth
Where it's gone
Where is the love for humanity
Where it's gone
The love for the
children
Respect for the elders
Where it's gone
Where it's gone
I wanna know I
wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
When will they get it right
And live in the light
Ooh ooh ooh
Raised in the city
Praise for the nightfall
Rain wash my memory
Damp-clad my great wall
Peace don't desert me
Not in the forest
Grace where I trespass
Calling my goddess
Peace is not real
It is not now what you seize
Off Andy
Where is the love
from birth
Where it's gone
Where is the love for humanity
Where it's gone
I wanna know I
wanna know I wanna know I wanna know tell me
I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know tell me
I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know
Dream my grandfather
Dream of great quiet
Barely a flash between
Words and blue silence
Gentle this hour
Wet is the highway
Brave are these cowards
Racing racing racing racing away
Racing racing racing racing away
Racing away
Peace is not real
Ooh ooh ooh
Well you won't
come down never
Yeah you won't come down
Yeah you won't come down never
Yeah you won't come down
Won't come down
You won't come down
When your heart
it beats heavy
For a drum
No you won't come down easy
From the limb you're on
Well you long to reach heaven
Where the night is young
And all the stars above you are in
Motion now motion
now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Motion now motion now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
In the neon-blue
city
In the twilight view
See the bow and arrows flowing
On your warehouse hill
Anyone can feel that you're in
Motion now motion
now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Motion now motion now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
Motion now motion
now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Motion now motion now
You're a dancer alone
Motion now motion now tonight
Ooh ooh ooh
