cross the plains of time in a crooked line
come a ragged band of people
they look like you and they look like me
and they're looking for a place to roam

is there anyone to shade the sun
and wash their thirsty faces
to cool their souls and give them hope
for a place to call their own?

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now the Indians have been here 10,000 years
let me tell you what they did do
they walked barefooted through this land
to save it for me and you

but we've been here such a short time
but look at what we're doing
I don't think even the Indians
can save this place from ruin
no, save this place from ruin

but the big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now I talked to Jesus the other day
he said, "how are you doing?"
I said, "fine, but is there anything
that I should know while I'm a-growing?"

he said, "I told you to love your brothers
and I meant just what I said
but now I see it'll do little good
if he's got no place to lay his head"

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home, mmmMMMmmm

big ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come get along home now
big ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now when I first met my sister Laurie Ann
she was a little bitty baby
she had big eyes and tiny little feet
she crawled right into my heart

now she'd been here about 18 years
just a-learning a-for the knowing
she sat me on the ground, she took my hand
said the grass was meant for growing
yeah, the grass is meant for growing, ooohhhooohhhooohhhooo
meant for growing

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come along home

hey come come, come-come-a-come
come-a come along home now
hey come come, come-come-a-come
everybody come along home

hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come come along home now
hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home, mmmMMMmmm

now don't you wear your pajamas to bed
cause you'll catch cold and you'll die
only wear your true love and [???]
should keep you warm for the rest of your life

cause she's a magic woman inside
there's miracles a-burning
so roll yourself in her loving arms
and join the earth in turning, yeeeaaahhh
join the earth in turning, ooohhhooohhhooohhhooo
the earth in turning

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come come along home

now you can fight a revolution all day
but the night is meant for sleeping
go leave your house about 1 in the morning
just to see who's left out there

down the broken road comes a ragged hobo
with sorrow on his head
bring him home, give him a drink
tuck him safe into your bed, yeeeeahhhh
safe into your bed
mmmmmaaaawwwhhhaawwww, safe into your bed

and a big mama earth say hey-hey-hey
come come along home

hey come come, come-come-a-come
come-a come along home now
hey come come, come-come-a-come
everybody come along home

hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
come come along home now
hey ma-ma, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-la-ma
everybody come along home

yeah the big mama earth say hey-hey-yeah
hey come along home now-now-now-now-now-now-now
yeah the big mama earth say
come come along home

slip across the wind unto the poet's ear
tell him I'm calling
my spirit's calling

and if he seems to wonder why what you've come
tell him, this I've said
to lighten his own head

the lights are there within my eyes growing the sky
tell him to hurry
the vision's worthy

and if he seems at all as his own self
tell him, this I've said:
the sun and moon have wed

bid him move along the path beneath the sea
tell him it's morning
as also evening

and if he seems at all as out of himself
tell him, this I've said
as a gift unto his head

[moog solo]

now be upon your way as wings upon the wind
and do not tarry
not even for Mary

he sweeps the steps of crescent hill now every day
and needs an answer
a loving answer

and always at her side and hanging off your clothes
the sister's staring
completely purring
I've seen love in her eyes

so be upon your way as wings upon the wind
and do not tarry
oh please do hurry
add this gift unto her sight

[moog solo]

slip across the wind unto the poet's ear
tell him I'm calling
my spirit's calling
my spirit's calling
my spirit's calling, la la la la

two months pass...

I first met Jack on a cold dark day
I held him close with my hands
we had a little fun and watched the sun come up
but my mama she would never understand

Jack wore black and a paper sack
he came from the wrong side of town
but I loved him neat and he tasted sweet
but it was hard for me to keep him down

oh why can't I ever break away
seems the things I love most are the things I hate
and people will talk but they'll still be upset
and I'm the one that's changed

Jim was a good old Kentucky son
I met when I left Tennessee
ain't nothing at all like a brown-eyed boy
to wash away your misery

I started to feel I was far from home
and I needed to talk with a friend
when I woke up it was an empty cup
and a voice that was ringing in my head

oh why can't I ever break away
seems the things I love most are the things I hate
and people will talk but they'll still be upset
and I'm the one that's changed

three weeks pass...

the girl in a topless bathing suit came down upon the beach
the surfers gather round her on the sand
they left so many surfboards abandoned on the sea
you could have walked the ocean to Japan

well, left the sea for the girl without a top
more to see on the girl without a top
could she be a former nudist who was trying to taper off
what's the story on the girl without a top?

a foreign country's submarine was cruising off our shore
gazing at our coast so bright and clear
through the periscope the captain saw the girl without a top
and ran the submarine into the pier

well, sunk by the girl without a top
they were sunk by the girl without a top
could she be an undercovered agent with the CIA?
what's the story on the girl without a top?

a handsome young policeman bravely marched upon the scene
to arrest the girl who swam without a top
he took out after her and she headed down the beach
now the police department's looking for the cop

well, he covered for the girl without a top
buttered up for the girl without a top
will she still be there tomorrow? will my girl let me come back
to see the girl on the beach without a top?
to get the story on the girl without a top
to get the girl on the beach without a top
to get the girl on the beach who wears a suit without a top
to get the story on the girl upon the beach without a top
to get the girl on the beach who wears a suit without a top
to get the story on the girl upon the...

#SpaceDustLyric #revised #draft

rootless cosmopolitan in search of a root,couldn't even grab for that low hanging fruit. been on this road a long long time, wearing out my shoes. pilgrims thugs & heretics & all bound to lose. twilight, tribal gatherings & riverside camps, hog calls & chicken fights & smashing of amps.
rootless cosmopolitan - lookin' for a root, $26 was concealed in his boot. flashbacks & tracking shots & dreams of stashed loot - we have you surrounded. come out or we shoot. throw down your weapons come out slow & sweet, we're awaiting god's verdict in the cold & dirty street

back in the city we was living just like bums, didn't pay no attention to those boys w\ their banners & drums.
i went to some meetings but just for kicks, we were getting high, didn't care about politics.
i shoulda left town when the chance occurred, i would've dressed in black & preached the revolutionary word.
all thru that summer we'd heard the reports, i filtered it out w\ the stock market shit & the sports.
the cracks in the image & the years are starting to tell, i'm gonna tell the truth til there's no truth left to tell.
back in the city we was living just like bums, couldn't seem to get healthy, maybe when the summer comes.

song : threnody for kf

from a dog on hollywood blvd to the garbage at the rainbow's end
a teenage cockroach, a hungry ghost, he ain't nobody's friend
a man of 1000 faces, a star that burned like hell
sometimes bad people do good stuff, the reverse is true as well

song : "study of the dream commune" (2013) :

study of the dream commune. 30 years still the same. i blame the parents. i think the parents are to blame. study of the dream commune. seen from the outside. the heat's closing in & there's no place to hide. study of the dream commune. dr#ugs & the occult. same actions repeated, expecting different result. whose dream is it anyway. how long can it last. we are the future. you are the past. get back to the garden. the jets overhead. how can you kill me. i'm already dead.
