When yer gets twisted and yer mind grows numb When you think you're too old, too young, too or too dumb When yer laggin' behind an' losin' yer In a slow-motion crawl of life's race No matter what yer doing if you start up If the wine come to the top of yer cup If the wind's got you sideways with with one holdin' on And the other starts and the feeling is gone And yer engine fire needs a new spark to catch it And the wood's findin' but yer lazy to fetch it And yer sidewalk starts and the street gets too long And you start walkin' backwards you know its wrong And lonesome up as down goes the day And tomorrow's mornin' so far away And you feel the reins from yer pony are And yer rope is a-slidin' 'cause yer are a-drippin' And yer sun-decked desert and valleys Turn to broken slums and trash-can alleys And yer sky cries water and yer pipe's a-pourin' And the lightnin's and the thunder's a-crashin' And the windows are rattlin' and breakin' and the roof tops And yer world's a-slammin' and bangin' And yer of sun turn to hours of storm And to you sometimes say "I never knew it was be this way Why didn't they me the day I was born" And you start chills and yer jumping from sweat And you're lookin' for somethin' you ain't quite yet And yer in the dark water with yer hands in the air And the whole world's a-watchin' a window peek stare And yer good gal leaves and long gone a-flying And yer feels sick like fish when they're fryin' And yer jackhammer falls yer hand to yer feet And you need it badly but it lays on the And yer bell's bangin' loudly but you can't hear its And you think yer ears a been hurt Or yer eyes've turned from the sight-blindin' dirt And you figured you failed in yesterdays When you faked out an' fooled white facing a four flush And all the time you holdin' three queens And makin you mad, it's makin' you mean Like in the middle of Life Bouncin' around a machine And there's something on yer mind you wanna be That somebody someplace be hearin' But it's trapped on yer tongue and sealed in yer And it bothers you badly when your in bed And no matter how you try you just say it And yer scared to yer soul you might forget it And yer eyes get swimmy the tears in yer head And yer pillows of feathers turn to of lead And the mouth opens and yer staring at his teeth And his jaws start with you underneath And yer flat on your with yer hands tied behind And you wish you'd never taken last detour sign And you say to yourself just what am I On this road I'm walkin', on this trail I'm On this I'm hanging On this pathway I'm strolling, in the I'm taking In this air I'm Am I mixed up too much, am I mixed up too Why am I walking, where am I What am I saying, am I knowing On this guitar I'm playing, on banjo I'm frailin' On this mandolin I'm strummin', in the I'm singin' In the tune I'm hummin', in the words I'm In the that I'm thinkin' In this ocean of I'm all the time drinkin' Who am I helping, am I breaking What am I giving, what am I But you try with your soul best Never to these thoughts and never to let Them of thoughts gain ground Or make yer heart But then again you why they're around Just waiting for a chance to and drop down "Cause sometimes you hear'em when the times comes creeping And you fear they might catch you a-sleeping And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of And you remember for the best of yer thinking If that was you in the dream was screaming And you know that something special you're needin' And you know that there's no drug that'll do for the And no liquor in the land to stop yer brain bleeding And you something special Yeah, you need something all right You need a fast flyin' on a tornado track To shoot you someplace and shoot you You need a cyclone on a stream engine howler That's been banging and booming and forever That knows yer troubles a hundred over You need a Greyhound bus don't bar no race That laugh at yer looks Your voice or face And by any of bets in the book Will be rollin' long after the craze You need to open up a new door To show you something you before But a hundred times or more You need something to open eyes You need to make it known it's you and no one else that owns That spot that yer standing, that space you're sitting That the world ain't got you That it ain't got you It get you crazy no matter how many Times you get kicked You need special all right You need special to give you hope But just a word That maybe you said or maybe you On some windy corner a wide-angled curve
But what you need man, and you need it bad And yer trouble is you it too good "Cause you an' you start getting the chills
"Cause you find it on a dollar bill And it on Macy's window sill And it ain't on no rich road map And it in no fat kid's fraternity house And it ain't made in no Hollywood germ And it on that dimlit stage With that comedian on it and raving and taking yer money And you thinks it's No you can't find it in no night club or no yacht And it in the seats of a supper club And sure as hell you're to tell That no how hard you rub You ain't a-gonna find it on yer ticket stub No, and it ain't in the rumors tellin' you And it ain't in the people are sellin' you And it ain't in no cardboard-box Or any movie star's blouse And you can't it on the golf course And Remus can't tell you and neither can Santa Claus And it ain't in the puff hair-do or cotton candy clothes And it ain't in the dime store dummies or goons And it ain't in the marshmallow of the chocolate cake voices That come knockin' and tappin' in Christmas Sayin' ain't I pretty and ain't I cute and at my skin Look at my shine, look at my skin glow Look at my laugh, look at my skin cry When you even sense if they got any insides people so pretty in their ribbons and bows No not now or no other day Find it on the doorsteps made paper mache? And inside it the made of molasses That every other day buy a new of sunglasses And it in the fifty-star generals and flipped-out phonies Who'd turn yuh in for a of a penny Who breathe and burp and bend and And before you can count one to ten Do it all over again but time behind yer back My The ones that wheel and deal and and twirl And play games with each in their sand-box world And you can't find it in the no-talent fools That run gallant And make all rules for the that got talent And it ain't in the ones that got any talent but think they do And think they're you The who jump on the wagon Just for a while they know it's in style To get kicks, get out of it quick And make all of rnoney and chicks And you yell to yourself and you down yer hat Sayin', "Christ do I be like that Ain't no one here that knows where I'm at Ain't there no one here that knows how I Good God THAT STUFF REAL"
No but that ain't yer game, it ain't even yer You hear yer name, you can't see yer face You gotta look some other And do you look for this hope that yer seekin' Where do you look for this that's a-burnin' Where do you for this oil well gushin' Where do you look for this candle glowin' Where do you look for this that you know is there And out there And your feet can only walk two kinds of roads Your can only look through two kinds of windows Your nose can only smell two of hallways You can touch and And turn two of doorknobs You can either go to the church of choice Or you can go to Brooklyn Hospital You'll find God in the church of choice You'll find Woody Guthrie in State Hospital
And though it's only my I may be or wrong find them both In the Canyon At
