Bob's Written Word Song Lyrics
Planet Waves (Liner Notes) Back to the Starting Point! Back to the Starting Point! The kickoff, Hebrew letters on the wall, Victor Hugo's house in Paris, NYC in early autumn, leaves flying in the park, the clock strikes Eight, Bong - I dropped a double brandy & tried to recall the events ... beer halls & pin balls, polka bands, barbwire & thrashing clowns, objects, headwinds, & snowstorms, family outings with strangers - Furious gals with garters & smeared lips on bar stools that stank from sweating pussy - doing the Hula - perfect, priests in overhauls, glassy eyed, Insomnia! Space guys off duty with big dicks & duck tails, all wire up & voting for Eisenhower, waving flags & jumping off of fire engines, getting killed on motorcycles whatever - We sensed each other beneath the mask, pitched a tent in the street & joined the traveling circus, love at first sight! History became a lie! the sideshow took over - what a sight ... the tresh- hold of the Modern Bomb, temples of the Pawnee, the cowboy saint, the Arapshop, snapshots of - Apache poets searching thru the ruins for a glimpse of Buddah - I let out for parts unknown, found Jacob's ladder up against an adobe wall & bought a serpent from a passing angel - Yeah the ole days are gone forever and the new ones aint far behind, the laughter is fading away, echoes of a star of energy Vampires in the gone world going Wild! Drinking the blood of innocent people, Innocent lambs! The wretched of the Earth, my brothers of the flood, cities of the flesh - Milwaukee, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Bismarck, South Dakota, Duluth! Duluth - where Baudelaire lived & Goya cashed in his chips, where Joshua brought the house down! From there it was straight up - a little jolt of Mexico and some good LUCK, a little power over the Grave, some more brandy & the teeth of a lion & a compass
