I turned on the TV war news
just to look and wonder why.
Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers
bloomed a nightmare in the sky.
So i went down to the cafe
just to string myself along.
On the way i found some riches --
played the jukebox, got this song.
While i sat there a ragged man came --
bummed a coffee, talked awhile.
Told me stories full of wonder --
left me laughing like a well-loved child.
just to look and wonder why.
Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers
bloomed a nightmare in the sky.
So i went down to the cafe
just to string myself along.
On the way i found some riches --
played the jukebox, got this song.
While i sat there a ragged man came --
bummed a coffee, talked awhile.
Told me stories full of wonder --
left me laughing like a well-loved child.
Bad As They Seem
Girl of my dreams...
Things are as bad as they seem
She is only sixteen
That's why she's only a dream
Woman of my dreams...
Lives right down my street
Has a daughter who's sixteen
That's why she's only a dream
What do I do this for?
Got to get out some more
Go down to the grocery store
Meet someone I'll adore
Someone who'll make me laugh
Someone to be my better half
Keep me warm under the sack
Share with me my midnight snack
Job of my dreams...
Things are as bad as they seem
Working where I did at fourteen
Making less pay it seems
Chorus
House of my dreams...
Things are as bad as they seem
My parents' house I'll stay for free
Until I'm at least fourty-three
Chorus
