INSTRUMENTAL

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days, these days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days, these days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'd see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days, these days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

I've stopped my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days, these days
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention."

Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Whoa, in a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek

And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way 
I'm taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Oh, my love
Oh, my love, oh

Tears that angels cry
And they darken all the sky
When the one you love says goodbye
Tears that angels cry

Sing a lullabye
Sing it soft and only sigh
When the one you love says goodbye
Sing a lullabye

When your love still is strong
When the one you love is gone

Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin
Joined the Ice Capades
And oh, I don't know why
Oh, I don't know why
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah

Second verse, same as the first
Jackie is a punk
Judy is a runt
They both went down to Berlin

Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah
Perhaps they'll die, oh yeah

Third verse, different from the first

Your hand on his arm
Haystack charm around your neck
Strung out and thin
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
He's acting dumb
That's what you've come to expect
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

He's wearing your clothes
Head down to toes, a reaction to you
You say you know what he did
But you idiot kid, you don't have a clue
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye
You're pulling him through
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Now on the bus, nearly touching this dirty retreat
Falling out, 6th and Powell, a dead sweat in my teeth
Gonna walk, walk, walk - four more blocks plus the one in my brain
Down downstairs to the man, he's gonna make it all okay
I can't beat myself, I can't beat myself and I don't want to talk
I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet whenever I want
So leave me alone, you ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay
Needle in the hay

Please give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down 
The first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way

Now if it's time to recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by
And we'll never deny
It's really too hard for to fly

Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far
For the people you are
I just need your star for a day

So come, come ride in my streetcar by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure as I
But she won't need to cry
For it's really too hard for to fly

INSTRUMENTAL

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Stephanie says that she wants to know
Why she's given half her life to people she hates now
Stephanie says - Stephanie says
When answering the phone - answering the phone
What country shall I say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds, so the people ask her
Cos it's all in her mind, it's all in her mind

Stephanie says - Stephanie says
That she wants to know - she wants to know
Why it is, though she's the door, she can't be the room 
Stephanie says - Stephanie says
But doesn't hang up the phone - hang up the phone
What sea she'll say is calling from across the world

But she's not afraid to die
The people all call her Alaska
Between worlds, so the people ask her
Cos it's all in her mind, it's all in her mind

They asking is it good or bad
It's such an icy feeling
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says
It's so cold in Alaska - Stephanie says

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting

Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rind
And do I really understand the undernetting

Yes, and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs carefully

Now that it's love
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe fall another side
And do I really have a sound that I can ride on

Now that I can
Now that it's easy, ever easy all around
Now that I'm near
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and to song
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason

Yes, and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs, oh, carefully

Now that I smile
Now that I'm laughing even deeper in the side
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
It's now I know
That do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving in the fairest of the seasons
