Hurry up Miss Daisy
The Buick is ready to go
I've been fighting my shadow
It kept me up all night you know
Take the wheel my darlin
Forget your fancy robe
Dim the headlights half way
Run the red one, the flashing strobe
In the night we went for a drive
We didn't get very far
Men and women walking the town
Yes I blew it, why'd you do it
Take the cab to Bleecker
Make a right at the light
Remember when it all began
Now we're in for a fight
In the night we went for a drive
We didn't get very far
Men and women walking the town
Put your foot down daisy
The cabs are heating our heels
See the squad cars rolling
Metallic dressed at the wheels
Put your foot down daisy
Red and blue flash crazy
In the night we went for a drive
We didn't get very far
Men and women walking the town
Yes I blew it, why'd you do it
In the night we went for a drive
Yes I blew it, why'd you do it
One way drive
One way drive

Time In Green

Just before we had time
I was thinking quite fondly of you
Even the birds knew their kind
Singing and prowling the avenue
Looking down at the lawn
Some fine dimension of green at my home
To know there's nothing to pawn
You know a tragedy waits in the foam
(Relax my dear)
You relax yourself
You think it's over
(Ask, ask away)
So you ask yourself
Where do we go now
Leaves are changing with time
Open a backdrop, a room I can roam
If autumn has what is mine
I just don't know if I'll ever go home
(Relax my dear)
You relax yourself
You think it's over
(Ask, ask away)
So you ask yourself
Where do we go now
Hello black rock in the sun
I've never seen a stone shine in that way
Do you think earth has its fun
No human torture can cause her dismay
Do we know more than we see
The ocean floating the galaxy
(Relax my dear)
You relax yourself
You think it's over
(Ask, ask away)
So you ask yourself
Where do we go now
(Relax my dear)
You relax yourself
You think it's over
(Ask, ask away)
So you ask yourself
Where do we go now

Old Town

Down by the lake I saw you
You were looking fine
There was not one thing on my mind
The snow was melting and I felt a shiver
Springtime by and by
Salt trucks moving uphill towards the sky
And even though this scene I can't contend
It's real enough to make a friend
Did you quiver down inside
It may not be where you would like to stay
Not every happy home is A-O.K.
But if you try
You may just like the looks of our old town
And even though this scene I can't contend
It's real enough to make a friend
Did you quiver down inside
It may not be where you would like to stay
Not every happy home is A-O.K.
But if you try
You may just like the looks of our old town
Hello spring and goodbye winter
No frozen roadways now
I can fetch my rake, my rusty trowel
Come quickly and take a look
Can you see it there
I think there's something hiding there
And even though this scene I can't contend
It's real enough to make a friend
Did you quiver down inside
It may not be where you would like to stay
Not every happy home is A-O.K.
But if you try
You may just dig the sounds you hear
You never need to feel no fear
You may just like the looks of our old town

Scarecrows

Just last Thursday night
Was the last time that I said bye to you
The foreman knows you're gone
And not one person here has got a clue
Self-indulgence came
And reared its ugly face towards me
It won't be long before you
Forget how it is to be the key
So I'll keep trying if it kills me
What's the sense of giving in
I weep gently as it strikes me
How do all these losers win
More and more you push
Sending me to the end of my rope
In that style you reap
Everything conceived by lost hope
Frigid air that you speak
Reminds me of a recent dark past
If only one of us could
Climb behind our livelihood fast
So I'll keep trying if it kills me
What's the sense of giving in
I weep gently as it strikes me
How do all these losers
Onward brother let's get
Down the lane while this story still grows
On the way we'll watch
For fallen friends and somewhat scarecrows
Every one of them
Aware of dancing rhetoric knows
Oz has welcomed them
In glowing green the color they chose
So I'll keep trying if it kills me
What's the sense of giving in
I weep gently as it strikes me
How do all these losers

Party Blues

Now I don't have much time so let me say to you
It's been a gas and now I'm feelin' blue
The way you whip around your debutante
You know it shines like a neon font
And if you truly think you're foolin' everyone
Well baby, you best be on the run
Cause if the black and blue catch wind of you
Trouble will come like you never knew
Well I don't care what you say
What you do
While you pray your demons away
I don't care
No, no, no party blues
Those party blues
Do you recall a time when everything was fine
When people made their fun, I mean no big lie
And I have no idea how I got up here
Some joker must have built it up on fear
Well I don't care what you say
What you do
While you pray your demons away
I don't care
No, no, no party blues
Those party blues
Most every night they see you in the darkened hall
With just a light and a smoke as you make your fall
I have at least three sources that I can cite
And everyone says you'll take the bite
Don't you go cryin' and crawl in bed
Before the light decides to show you what's ahead
I don't really care what you do
While you pray your demons away
I don't care
No, no, no party blues
Those party blues
Party blues

Dear friend this is no postcard
These are the words of me and you
So very far from the city
But much further from the sea
Take stock out there 'cause nothing's free
Well I can't fight this feeling anymore
Time and time it comes and then it goes once more
People say I'm changing
I might be pretty close
I guess we'll have to see
When I get back to the coast
When I get back to the coast
Did you hear the news
Broadcast from Pennsylvania
People runnin'
They were hiding
The rust belt is dividing
This is a story I have never heard before
Well I can't fight this feeling anymore
Time and time it comes and then it goes once more
People say I'm changing
I might be pretty close
I guess we'll have to see
When I get back to the coast
This urban life is humbling
Just down the hall the rent is due
Tell me, can you see the difference
Between idling and commitments
You better take a look at your rear view
Well I can't fight this feeling anymore
Time and time it comes and then it goes once more
People say I'm changing
I might be pretty close
I guess we'll have to see
Well I can't fight this feeling
Time and time it comes and then it goes once more
People say I'm changing
I might be pretty close
I guess we'll have to see, yeah
