LIGHT
MY FIRE (INCLUDES GRAVEYARD POEM)
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now, we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
It was the greatest night
of my life
although I still had not found a wife
I had my friend right there beside me
We were close together
We tripped tbe wall
We scaled the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us
The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog
Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And I gave empty sermons to my head
Cemetery, cool and quiet
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day
Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Alright! Alright! Alright!
TEXAS RADIO AND THE BIG BEAT
I wanna tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow
With a back beat, narrow and hard to master
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance
Others mean and ruefull of the Western dream
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping
Well, this is the land where the Pharaoh died
Children
The river contains specimens
The voices of singing women call us on the far shore
And they are saying:
Forget the night
Live with us in forests of azure
Meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn
And one morning you awoke
And the strange sun
And opening your door...
LITTLE RED ROOSTER
Well I'm the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow all day.
Little red rooster
Too lazy to crow all day.
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way.
Dogs begin to bark
The hounds begin to howl.
Dogs begin to bark and the hounds begin to howl.
Look out strange cat people
The rooster's on the prowl.
Dogs began to bark,
The hounds begin to howl.
Dogs begin to bark,
The hounds, yeah...
Look out strange cat people
Yeah, my rooster's on the prowl.
See my rooster, honey
Come on and drive him home.
See my rooster, baby
Come on and drive him home.
Ain't been no peace in the barnyard
Since my little red rooster been gone.
Well I'm the little red rooster,
babe
Too lazy to crow the day.
Well I'm the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow the day.
Keep everything in the barnyard
Upset in every way.
