Tea in a Jar

I keep some tea in a jar
And when I go to a bar
I drink it all up

And when they kick me out
I’m lying on the floor
I’m freezing in the snow
I am so cold

I’ve got no home
And I’ve got no job
And I’ve got no god
I am so cold

I keep some tea in a jar
When I’m riding my car
And I’m scratching my scar
I’m stopping at a bar

And when they kick me out
I get beat up
Then I drink it all up
And I’m not cold as much

I keep some tea in a jar
When I go to a bar
With my guitar

They Shine So Bright

I’m thumbling down the road
I’ve seen people going wrong
Oh
Where do they go?

I’m sitting by a tree
And I’m wondering is it me
Oh
Is it me that they see?

The stars they shine so bright
And they guide me with their light
Oh
They guide me to the light

Sitting in the Shade

Take your guitar before you go
It’s a long way, oh such a long way to Mexico
Take your guitar before you go
It’s a long way, oh such a long way to mexico

I’ll see you someday
In Santa Fe
Just in perfect time
To see the desert bloom

Here we are before
the road
Sitting in the Shade on this
Oklahoma road

Take your guitar before you go

Dr Livingstone, I presume?

Doctor Livingstone
I presume
You can’t even imagine how long I was
looking for you

Doctor Livingstone
I presume
You can’t even imagine how long I was
Looking for you

He’s sick
He’s ill
He’s mad
He’s still
Doctor livingstone

His feet are sore
His skin is dark
His mind is off
But his light shines bright

Doctor Livingstone
I presume
You can’t even imagine how long I was
Looking for you

Maggots Breed

It’s wintertime and maggots breed
And outside it’s forty degrees
Oh, just today I’ve hurt my knee
Won’t you please tell me

What is really going on?
What is really going on?
What is really going on?
Around here
Around here

Someone talks, I’m not sure who
Oh, I feel just like a fool
Please girl, don’t be cruel
Come out to play I know it’s you

What is really going on?
What is really going on?
What is really going on?
Around here
Around here

Cab Driver

I’m just a cab driver
Let me take you for a ride
I’m just a cab driver
You won’t get your money back

We’re riding through a highway
We ain’t gonna stop
We won’t need more fuel
Than what we’ve got
„Where are we going?”
You might ask
„Taking you far ahead
That’s my task”

I’m just a cab driver
Let me take you for a ride
I’m just a cab driver
You won’t get your money back

Don’t be afraid
To ride with me
Just relax
And take it easy
Take a nap
In your seat
It was build for you

I’m just a cab driver
(...)

We won’t be getting no forgiveness
For the broken laws
For the dreams left behind
And the broken hearts

I’m just a cab driver
(...)

Two Blocks Away

Jonathan Thorntrey was drinking his tea
All alone with a book in his hand
He sings in a band

But something is missing
It’s hard to tell what
But he knows it’s there
He looks all around
And everything seems to be
Right in it’s place

He feels that it’s strange

Elizabeth Howard works in a shop
Just two blocks away
She once heard him play

Each day She looks at people
And She feels that they’re not there
What more can She say?
What more can She do?

Two weeks from now, they’ll meet at a friend’s
And will go home holding hands
True love at last

And the next day, they’ll pack up their things
Leave the key, close the door
Where do they go?
Where do they go?

Where do they go?

There is a Ceasefire

There is a ceasefire
Between the nations
So let’s get together
And make good vibrations

Your mind is a constelation
Waiting for illumination
And so this joyous proclamation
Begins the process of creation

Your thoughts are twisted
By words half spoken
Let’s all hope
Your heart’s not broken

Children of the Moon

With a feeling
Of impending doom
He found the Children
Of the Moon

He knows not
What’s he doing there
Face to face with that
Shapeless form

Don’t Let it go on

Face to face
And eye to eye
All these children
Won’t stop their cry

(They just won’t die)
I don’t know why

Don’t let it go on
(No more)
Don’t let it go on

21st Century Man

Back and forth
Out/In our heads
There walks this Man
All by himself

He reads his book
He sleeps his bed
He rides his car
And goes to work

And when he does
All these things
He doesn’t dream
He doesn’t wish

Hiding back there
Somewhere in your head
He’s a twenty-first
Century man

He can write
a rhyme or two
He don’t believe them
to be true

He knows the facts
He checked them twice
He only wants
What’s fast & nice

He’s in our heads
He’s all around
He’s out and in
But where’s he been?

Hiding back there
Somewhere in your head
He’s a twenty-first
Century man

In this world
So full of games
I can’t think
Of any place

That would be
Right for me
Where I could live
Peacefully

But with you
I know
For sure
You’re true

Because

Even though
You’re far away
I still can hear you say
„I love you”

I want you to take me away
Somewhere far away from here
Let’s just fly away today
Let’s not waste another day

I love you so
And what you should know
Is that

You
Oh you
Yes you
You are the cure

And that

I
Oh I
Yes I
Miss you so
