Living ain't easy it opens your head
Layin' and prayin' you wish you were dead
When I was born I was given a will
That the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

Loving knowing giving showing
Love is seeing and ever being
Motor cruising midnight boozing
Altar singing and bells that are ringing

You got a reason to listen to me
For I am a messenger carrying the key
Money is nothing to hold into wills
And the meaning of life is
I'm in for the kill

You see me moving around playing on people's minds
But I won't be for nobody I only have a way of return
Take me make me do what you want
You ain't gonna mock up me
Well I am the tolls and I am the right
And I am the earth and the sea

Hey there you with a lock that is boozed
Gonna say it with a face that's red
It's only the ones who can take the pain
Who can take that golden hat
I'm only trying to help you love in a world
That is hot and rough
It's me and you and a cat named boo
And a woman who has run out of stuff

Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin' quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane, insane

Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life, conquer life yeah

Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driven from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again yeah, yeah, yeah

I never walk in the street,
Or gather round where people meet
With you on my head and me on my toes
Wondering what everyone knows,
Wondering what everyone knows

I bystand for the post, but all my letters are lost
With you on my head and me on my toes
Wondering what everyone knows,
Wondering what everyone knows
Wondering what everyone knows

Darkness in white you can feel through the light
of the darkest cloud and touch my hand

You are a sound in my head,
Sew up my ears with your thread
With you on my head and me on my toes
Wondering what everyone knows,
Wondering what everyone knows
Wondering what everyone knows

Come on everyone of you G.I.'s
You are the ones who can care
Speed on you wonderful dropouts
We'll break the walls of this room in

Zoom along, superstar
All over the land
Move on music man

Come on everyone of you people
You ain't got mud in your eyes
Tell everybody with hunger
Eat up the music tonight

Come on you'll only get harder
I wanna get it to you
You are my life
You turn around in your zoot suit

Come on everyone of you preachers
You do the best that you can
Move on every one of you teachers
You do the best that you can

Woman I can hear you woman in my soul
I wish I was your daddy I wish I was your mammy
Just lay down your hammer and tongs

Woman I can love you woman think you know
I wish I was you daddy I wish I was your mammy
Just lay down your hammer and tongs

Woman live like a song look around at
Who you see the tongs
Woman see the marks of life
That you thought are right are wrong

Ooh woman, taste my rock and roll
Ooh woman, make it hot as coal
And I'm running
Running to my very soul

One day woman walking down that street
I saw my lover she sure looked sweet
Oh now mean I feel my rock and roll
And I'm running
Running to my soul

Ooh woman, taste my rock and roll
Ooh woman, make it hot as coal
And I'm running
Running to my very soul

When you're living on your own
And things around you start to go
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own
When I see it in your smile
I can tell it ain't your style
You're on your own, well baby you're on your own

You're alone if you don't know it
And pretty soon, it takes its toll
Maybe I should ask you why
You need everything
But you ain't got it, cause you're living on your own

One day soon this will be gone
And the love of life it could be
But 'til then you'll look at me
Then you'll feel it grow
And you'll always know
You ain't got it living on your own

And when I see you look at me
And I can tell how it will be
You're on your own well baby you're on your own
I can tell the way you smile
And just you wait and in a while
You're on your own well baby you're on your own
