what
i see is what's to be
cartwheels to eternity
'round and 'round my head she goes
in the good dreams though she wears no clothes...
took our picture by the sea
the ocean waits to carry me
carry me back home again
to where she sleeps i lay my head...
saw her running barefoot but the ground there never touched
her feet
watched her in the shadows while the tide came in and claimed our beach
we could have made it in the dunes we had it all within our reach
but i've got a lot of life to learn and you've got a lot of life to
teach...
why do we all end up alone
why do we always have to find our way back home
why do we all end up alone...
we gather no moss just like a rolling...
what i say is what i mean
no definition in between
couldn't make it in the movie scene
you wouldn't stay on you couldn't stay clean...
what you wear is who you are
the odds are in and you'll go far
a penny for your thoughts you'll see
a nickel buys you what you need...
saw you in the big show saw you swinging from the big
trapeze
standing on my tiptoes while you brush the dirt from off your knees
should have come as no surprise no one else here did have your drive
you got a big white stretch parked right outside but nobody there to share
your ride...
why do we all end up dead drunk or stoned...
what i know is what i hear
the ringing in my ears is clear
(This part doesn't appear in the song, but it's in the
lyrics printed on the insert)
is it from loud guitars or pipe dreams
everyone says i should know what that means...
but who'd be talking bad about me
who am i they'd want to be
(The rest is in the song)
a monkey's got it made you see
swinging from the vine of a coconut tree
dead drunk or stoned...
just like a rolling stone... |
