Let's Talk About Me
Stardom in action that's all they got.
Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass
I'm the first to get hooked
Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash
I'm the first to get booked.
But I'm incapable
My love's inescapable
Conquering lethargy
I've got energy
Stardom - I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence.
Stardom - I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence.
I'll go where the senescent soldier retires
And shiver in south California,
Watching the storms and the tangling wire
And river
Just like the grub that wriggles to the top of the mass
I'm the first to get hooked
Just like the stub of that long cigarette full of hash
I'm the first to get booked.
But I'm incapable
My love's inescapable
Conquering lethargy
I've got energy
Stardom - I want a hit
Want my tan, want my cash, want my innocence.
Stardom - I want a script
Want my band, want my stash, want omnipotence.
I'll go where the senescent soldier retires
And shiver in south California,
Watching the storms and the tangling wire
And river
Jumping Off
Fair young maiden
All in the garden
Strange young man
Passed her by
Said: "Fair maid
Will you marry me?"
This, then, sir,
Was her reply
"Oh no, kind sir
I canot marry thee
For my beloved
Who sails out on the sea
He's been gone
For seven years
And still no man
Shall marry me
Well if he's in
Some battle salin
Well I will die
When the moon
Or if he's drowned
In the dark salt sea
I'll be true
To his memory."
He picked her up
All in his arms
And kisses gave her
One, two and three
Said: "Weep no more
My own dear true love
I am your love
Lost John Reilly"
Said: "Weep no more
My own dear true love
I am your love
Lost John Reilly"
