Grateful Dead

and I still have some confetti from the Lips shows... I thought I was smart, I thought I was right I thought it better not to fight I thought there was a virtue in always being cool So when it came time to fight, I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would prove you wrong And that you would be the fool I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery Oh to fight is to defend if it's not now than tell me when Would be the time that you would stand up and be a man For to lose I could accept, but to surrender I just wept and regretted this moment Oh that I, I was the fool I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides what's right for his own life, It's all a mystery Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things you can't avoid, You have to face them when you're not prepared to face them If I could, I would, but you're with him now it'd do no good I should have fought him but instead I let him- I let him take it I don't know where the sun beams end and the star light begins, It's all a mystery And I don't know how a man decides what right for his own life It's all a mystery

Wayne Coyne and the Lips record in Dunkirk NY where my son goes to college....he met him and had a meet n greet at Starbucks accidentally....and you are spot on....per Scotty, Wayne is one cool character, without ego or pretension...... this song was not written for him..... You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht Your hat strategically dipped below one eye Your scarf it was apricot You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner They'd be your partner, and... You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you Don't you? Don't You? You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive Well you said that we made such a pretty pair And that you would never leave But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee Clouds in my coffee, and... Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia To see the total eclipse of the sun Well you're where you should be all the time And when you're not you're with Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend Wife of a close friend, and...

I've seen the Flaming Lips twice in STL. The 2nd time I dressed up as Wonder Woman and was given a backstage pass while waiting in line outside the venue. During the show Wayne was swinging his mechanic light around his head and he lost control of it and it hit the bassist in the arm and then hit wayne in the head pretty hard. The bassist had to stop playing for a second. When I went backstage to meet Wayne he had a huge goose egg on his head and probably a concussion. He told me that when she would come on tour his wife would always dress as Wonder Woman too. He was the most down to earth guy and met and shook everyones hand even though he shoud have been in the ER. The rest of the band wasn't present for that. Waiting, for the Ambulance to come Hoping that it doesn't come too late Hearing the sirens in the distance Hold on help is on the way. Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm right here beside her Though I live somehow I frown Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Wishing that I was the one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore Oh we can't trade places Our lives are strangely our own Mr. Ambulance Driver Tell me For everyone that dies Someone new is born Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm right here beside her And though I live somehow I frown Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Cause wishing I was the one that Wasn't gonna be here anymore. Mr. Ambulance Driver Though I live Somehow I found Mr. Ambulance Driver I'm not a real survivor Cause wishin I was the one that wasn't here anymore The one that wasn't here anymore

Summer days, summer nights are gone Summer days and summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still somethin' going on I've got a house on the hill, I got hogs out in the mud I've got a house on the hill, I got hogs all out in the mud I've got a long haired woman, she got royal Indian blood Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing Everybody get ready, lift up your glasses and sing Well I'm standin' on the table, I'm proposin' a toast to the king I'm driving in the flats in a Cadillac car The girls all say "You're a worn out star" My pockets are loaded, and I'm spending every dime How can you say you love someone else, you know it's me all the time Well the fog's so thick you can't spy the land Well the fog's so thick that you can't even spy the land what good are you anyway if you can't stand up to some old businessman Weddin' bells are ringin' and the choir is beginning to sing Yes, the weddin' bells are ringin' and the choir's beginning to sing What looks good in the day, at night is another thing She's looking in to my eyes, and she's a-holding my hand She looks in to my eyes, she's holding my hand she say, "you can't repeat the past," I say "You can't? What do you mean you can't? Of course you can." Where do you come from, where do you go? Sorry, that is nothing you would need to know Well, my back's been to the wall so long it seems like it's stuck Why don't you break my heart one more time, just for good luck I got eight carburators and boys I'm usin' 'em all well, I got eight carburators and boys I'm usin' 'em all I'm short on gas, my motor's startin' to stall My dogs are barking, there must be someone around My dogs are barking, there must be someone around I got my hammer ringin' pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down If you got something to say, speak or hold your peace Well, if you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace If it's information you want, you can get it from the police Politician's got on his joggin' shoes he must be runnin' for office, got no time to lose suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity you been rollin' your eyes, you been teasin' me Standin' by God's river my soul's beginning to shake Standin' by God's river my soul's beginning to shake I'm countin' on you, love, to gimme a break I'm leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift I'm leaving in the morning, as soon as the dark clouds lift I'm breakin' the roof, set fire to the place as a partin' gift Summer days, summer nights are gone Summer days, summer nights are gone I know a place where there's still something goin' on.

CDs in mail tomorrow.... sorry but the goddamn ape ate all my Oreos.... Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee They’re throwing knives into the tree Two big bags of dead man’s bones Got their noses to the grindstones Living in the Land of Nod Trustin’ their fate to the Hands of God They pass by so silently Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee Well, they’re going to the country, they’re gonna retire They’re taking a street car named Desire Looking in the window at the pecan pie Lot of things they’d like they would never buy Neither one gonna turn and run They’re making a voyage to the sun “His Master’s voice is calling me” Says Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee Tweedle-dee Dee and Tweedle-dee Dum All that and more and then some They walk among the stately trees They know the secrets of the breeze Tweedle-dee Dum said to Tweedle-dee Dee “Your presence is obnoxious to me” They’re like babies sittin’ on a woman’s knee Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee Well, the rain beating down on my window pane I got love for you and it’s all in vain Brains in the pot, they’re beginning to boil They’re dripping with garlic and olive oil Tweedle-dee Dee—he’s on his hands and his knees Saying, “Throw me somethin’, Mister, please” “What’s good for you is good for me” Says Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee Well, they’re living in a happy harmony Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee They’re one day older and a dollar short They’ve got a parade permit and a police escort They’re lying low and they’re makin’ hay They seem determined to go all the way They run a brick-and-tile company Tweedle-dee Dum and Tweedle-dee Dee Well a childish dream is a deathless need And a noble truth is a sacred dream My pretty baby, she’s lookin’ around She’s wearin’ a multi-thousand dollar gown Tweedle-dee Dee is a lowdown, sorry old man Tweedle-dee Dum, he’ll stab you where you stand “I’ve had too much of your company,” Says Tweedle-dee Dum to Tweedle-dee Dee

Good Morning Daydreamers! The sun is shining, the weather is sweet. got the radio on...Pure Prarie League I can see why you think you belong to me, I never tried to make you think, Or let you see one thing for yourself, And now you're off with someone else and I'm alone, You see I thought I might keep you for my own. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Don't you think the time is right for us to find, That all the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time, Can't you see which way we should turn together or alone, I can never see what's right or what is wrong, 'Cause that take too long to see now. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Come on now, Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. Now it's come to what you want, you've had your way, And all the things you thought before just faded into gray, And can you see that I don't know if it's you or it's me, But if it's one of us I'm sure we both will see, yeah, Won't you look at me and tell me. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I, longer if I do. Amie, what you wanna do? I think I could stay with you, For a while maybe longer if I do. I keep fallin' in and out of love with you, Fallin' in and out of love with you, Don't know what I'm gonna do, I keep fallin' in and out of love with you

Your breath is sweetYour eyes are like two jewels in the sky Your back is straight, your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie But I don't sense affection No gratitude or love Your loyalty is not to me But to the stars above One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below Your daddy he's an outlaw And a wanderer by trade He'll teach you how to pick and choose And how to throw the blade He oversees his kingdom So no stranger does intrude His voice it trembles as he calls out For another plate of food One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below Your sister sees the future Like your mama and yourself You've never learned to read or write There's no books upon your shelf And your pleasure knows no limits Your voice is like a meadowlark But your heart is like an ocean Mysterious and dark One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go To the valley below

Good morning America, how are you? I can still feel all your sunlight shine before the dawn First light morning feeling's got me losing so much sleep I just can't say how much I miss you when you're gone 'Cause I get a feeling something like a summer wind When you love me like a sister, then you're gone again But there's so much light shining in your eyes That you just can't help but keep a love alive Now I hear some other loving sunshine brother's Left you crying and you're all alone So dry your eyes and try and say your goodbyes 'Cause you're old enough to get back on your feel all on your own Don't you kind of get a feeling like a summer wind 'Cause he loved you like a brother, now he's gone again But there's still a lot of love light in your eyes And you sure know how to keep a man alive Well you can stand right there and tell me something's wrong It's so hard to know your problems when you're gone So, early morning riser There's not much more I can do to try and make things right If you need another sunshine brother I can be right there beside you by the early morning light And I'll forget that feeling like a summer wind And I'll probably start to think about you now and then But there's still a lot of light shining in your eyes And you still know how to keep a love alive Coffee is on..... and I've always preferred Phillips to slotted....

See you in Saint Louie! Take care, sweet dreams! Light up, light up Light up your lazy blue eyes Moon's up nights up Taking the town by surprise Night time, night time Day left an hour ago City light fine Must you get ready so slow Night in the city looks pretty to me Night in the city looks fine Music comes spilling out into the street Colors go flashing in time, oh Take off, take off Take off your stay at home shoes Break off shake off Take off those stay at home blues Stairway, stairway Down to the crowds in the street They go their way Looking for faces to greet But we run on laughing no one to meet Night in the city looks pretty to me (City, city) Night in the city looks fine Music comes spilling out into the street (Music comes spilling out into the street) Colors go waltzing in time, oh Light up, light up Light up your lazy blue eyes Moon's up nights up Taking the town by surprise Night time, night time Day left an hour ago City light time Must you get ready so slow Night time in the city Night time Night time in the city Night time (Night time) Night time in the city Night time (Night time) Night time in the city Night time (Night time) Night time
