I'm looking for cheap inspiration A brief moment of realization And the air is vibrating Bodies separating They're ready to dance I'm ready to sing And you can keep spinning, Keep spinning Whatever... Don't get your germs on me

I've lived with the rich i've worked with the poor I live and I work for myself anymore I've traveled through thick Traveled through thin Marched with the saints and I've wallowed in sin And when I've wandered Too far away When a poor boy got nowhere else to go When my journey has led me Far astray I take comfort in the one thing that I know Whoa Deep Creek Road Take me home I've jumped up for joy Fell into place Dwelt on the actions I could not erase Once I was found But now I am lost Keep pushing onward no matter the cost And when I've wandered Too far away When a poor boy got nowhere else to go When my journey has led me Far astray I take comfort in the one thing that I know Whoa Deep Creek Road Take me home

Been living in the fold, in the fold Working in the dead heat, I've been sleeping in the cold Never getting younger, getting older, getting old Looking for the light and I might find it so I'm told Back up to the track and I've been packing up my things Never did I notice how it wasn't how it seems Now I'm catching flak for simply following a dream Beggars can't be choosers so I didn't pick my team I'd like to take it back But I came too far So turn the other cheek Stay right way you are Folding and unfolding Never ending And I'm hypnotized Winding and unwinding And I find the light Before my eyes So there's a fire on the mountain? I'll believe it once it's seen I've been burning down the house I doused in premium gasoline Ashes beget ashes, there's a phoenix on the scene Getting down, getting dirty, keep it up, and keep it clean Keep it under wraps so that they never hear the lies Never worry about the juries and the prisoners getting high Something new to make you smile, something old to make you cry I wonder what's the point, I wonder why I'd even try I'd like to take it back But I'm out of time So turn the other cheek And get back in line Folding and unfolding Never ending And I'm hypnotized Winding and unwinding And I find the light Before my eyes

Sometimes the best thing seems to let a sweet thing go So, lo and behold, sadness And close examination of someone is madness You thought you had figured it out She saw right through you Caught the edge of your eye And danced over to you She leapt when you asked her to stay She crept up and swept you away She slept with you during the day Manic Pixie Dream Girl Without a warning She left for another She broke your heart She broke your rubber I've told you the news We've all been abused If she stays with you maybe I'd say that you Like to get used She left when you asked her to stay As you struggled for something to say The words still elude you today Manic Pixie Dream Girl

I don't know much, I know my baby well I don't know much, I know my baby well First she'll take you to heaven Then she'll put you through hell She said I meant to tell you late last night The way I did you wrong, no it don't feel right The way I snuck out before the morning light The way I said I wouldn't but I thought I might But anyway... It means nothing to me We go out a-walking in the sun We go out a-walking in the sun And she leans over Just to tell me our loving's done Come on baby, why don't you be true? Come on baby, why don't you be true? I gave you all of my love And it still meant nothing to you I work all day and I come home at night I work all day and I come home at night And I need your loving Why you wanna fuss and fight? Well I love you, that's plain to see Well I love you, that's plain to see Means nothing to you And it makes no difference to me

Bound for San Diego With 200 dollars in my hand South-southwest from Idaho I went tearing up the desert sand Ran away from home, y'know 'Cause my old lady kicked me out I'm not the kind to really mind But she didn't have to scream and shout Off to California Where the land of milk and honey lay Best keep my fingers crossed That it really lay the way they say Knick knack paddiwack Why don't you throw a dog a bone? I've come a long, long ways And I"m missing my mountaintop Idaho home Ain't taken good rest since I don't know when Come sunrise I'll be packing up, heading out Hitting that old dirt road again Bound for San Diego 'Cause I had a run-in with the law Flashing red and blue, boys, well I sped away before they saw Now I'm burning rubber 'Cause police call me a wanted man Car broke down in Reno So I paid to fix it up again Bound for San Diego with 200 dollars in repairs 600 miles left to go And the cops are searching everywhere Knick knack paddiwack Why don't you throw a dog a bone? I've come a long, long ways And I"m missing my mountaintop Idaho home Ain't taken good rest since I don't know when Come sunrise I'll be packing up, heading out Hitting that old dirt road again Bound for San Diego 'Cause I got no place else left to go Last stop before the borderline Then I'm on my way to Mexico Picked up 20 vials on my way through San Francisco bay Not my chosen poison But a man has got to pay his way One more day of driving and I feel I'm no worse for the wear Wind blowing against my face I know that in no time at all I'll be there

When I find the time As I'm sure that I will I'll make it all up, but for now I've got time to kill It's a matter of time There's hard times ahead So why rush to keep up, When you could lose it instead? Lose track of it all And let the good times roll But we're running on borrowed time And a bit that we stole You may find, when your time's up That you're still unsure What was it you meant? Who was it you were? We'll get it back Together When we find the time Some time got behind you All's well that ends well And it happens to all of us In the end time will tell Was it time well spent? Is time on your side? Did you race to the finish? Were you along for the ride? You'll find answers, I'm sure All in due time But once you've paid your dues You still may find That he can't be paid off Once you hear him call You may find, you'll be out of time In no time at all Do you see? Or will you turn away? When you find the time

Time's come to get with the program Get with the myth, the higher man We've been watching you Don't care what you do, But we've been watching you Been here all along Been here all along And I never cared much about Right and wrong Whatever... Don't get your germs on me
