I know, darling, that there is no answer, To our love, nor in the time that hurts horses, That there is no answer to shooting stars, That we must protect our rivers, our oceans, I know, darling, that there is no answer to our love, That we must cross the sand deserts of imagination, That we must cross the white ice-caps, That...

Someone saw me digging through the trash this morning And gave me five bucks The embarrassed gin-mace of the nursing home volunteer Plastered to his face For the three seconds I could see it Before he looked away Everyone is more human than you'd imagine in these streets So I bought two Blacks and a Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar And I...
