I Passed by the Building
I passed by the building you were working in
I wanted to step inside it
I wanted to lie in your arms again
I passed by the building that you live in
And I wanted to die
I just stood there and cried
For then the way I felt
For the way I was gonna cry
For loving you
I passed by the building where you sleep
And I wanted to sigh
At the sweet smell of your loving
But I just weep at the morning
I just weep

CF
When we go
I’m falling down to the river
I’m gonna climb another mountain
I’m going down to the mountain
I’m coming up from below
I’m gonna climb as high as I can
I ain’t got no other place to go
Down to the river
I’m going down to the river
I’m going to spread myself around
I’m going down to the river
Spread myself around
How much time
How much time
How much time
Going down, I’m going down, I’m going down

Long Way
Long way to the back of the bus
It’s a long way, a long way...
To the back of the... long way
Not as long as all that, but it’s a long way [laughs]

Down at the Ball Park
Oblique
Oblique
Mystique
We was creamin’ ’em down at the ball park
And we pitched a little down at the ball park
Aww, with Jerry and Lucas and oh yeah
Down at the ball park
And you know there’s that song
???
He’s a sitting in a corner down by the ???
Oh, it’s all down at the ball park
Ohhh down at the ball park
Take it, take it Eddie
Take it down to the ball park
God, they is askin’ me if they can borrow some bats
Down at the ball park
Ohh motorcycle
Down at the ball park

Quinn Boys
Did you ever go down to see the Quinn boys?
When I walked down there I went ???
Meet you in the Bowery
Goodbye Beacon Hill
Hello misfortune, I’ve got time to kill
Time to kill, I’ve got time to kill
Spend all of my days roaming all of the ways
Deliver me and see the sun, see the moon in dark June
Kiss the sand and ocean salt
Take my brother by the hand
It’s you and I (Dan? Dear?)

One Minute
Looks like one minute to me
Knock the walls down there for a couple of minutes [pre-music talking]
Just relax folks, just relax
That’s right, settle back in your chair
Listen to the music
Close your eyes and watch the pretty colors dancing around in your hair
Follow the music


 

Variant
And so we go
Like times of old
To stay on one road
Or choose another
I just don’t know
Which way to go
When we were small
And not so tall
We didn’t know
Which road to go
I just don’t know which way to go
I think I’ll follow you ???

Part II
Ahh — you wouldn’t believe it tastes like candy
You see something that wasn’t there
I’ll be the one
I’ll be the one
Don’t you know I’ll be the one

Your Other Man
Well, I guess your mind’s made up
Well, I guess there’s not much left to do
Go on, see your other man
Walk up the stairs
That’s where the stars are
Go on, see your other man
Well, you wouldn’t believe it tastes like candy
Gimme a fork, yeah a gimme a fork
Eat some potato
Shades are falling
Shades are falling

House of the Rising Sun
My mother was a tailor
She sewed these new blue jeans
My father was a gambler
Down in New Orleans
The only thing a gambler needs
His suitcase and a trunk
The only pleasure he gets out of life
When he’s all drunk
I know the song I sing when
I spend my time in
Down at the Rising Sun
So mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend my life in — sitting in misery
Down in the Rising Sun

Only Lover
You never smoke a cigarette when you are doing something
Only when your are half doing it
You are a teenage runt with a lot of cream, sparky
Gone floating down a river to Madrid
And a car pull in softly
Waiting for the footsteps
How has as she followed me here?
The tent I went to wasn’t mine, it was a cantaloupe’s
Cantaloupes are so good to eat
When you dream of your ??? in a shower
Gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
I love you my lady
I love you like I do
Why you make me so blue?
A-kill me, kill me, kill me
Achilles, kill me
I think I’m a goner
When I see one of your shoes
Gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
You’re the reason I live
You’re the cause of my death
I love what I can’t help
You took my success
Will you take my failure?
After Arny (?) took a pill from the bottom
He wasn’t n’er the same
You ought to be gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
I hear you bought a new dress
A red the color of your kiss
Darlin’ are you with me now?
A-kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
Ahh it’s my time to die
When I think of your black lips
Gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
Found a painted pony in your breast
Can I tell you the rest?
I love you goddess
Listen mister, can you be my monkey?
Feel my pulse take a stab at my arm
I was meant to have a garden
Gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
Jezebel, you’re my favorite — in your country I roam
Listen to me now, lady
Worst I had to tell you was I followed you here
First you made me promise that I wouldn’t leave
Then I found my freedom
Gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
Lost some lovely on the way
You gave them back I heard you say
You’re my only lover
Like a kangaroo I’m only half doing what I do
Jesus stares at me from the wall
And I think I like your bosom
Aww gone floatin’ down a river to Madrid
Ahh, you hear my music
Oh, lord I think it’s hard to tell how she followed me here
