so there are times
for reading and contimplation
and there are times to jump into the fray
and there are times to give a standing ovation
like at the end of a great play
and you sing la x30
and someday someone else will put
these feelings in a play
and philosphy will tell me
someday what i felt and thought today
and soon we'll all be foot notes in
a book of history
but the past is past for now
and the future is a mystery
and now
and now
i dont need plays with happy endings
or a book i should have read
or the wisdom of the elizabethans
many years now dead
cause you are every word and bookand every song that was ever sung and ill
enjoy that while im still young
and ill enjoy that while im still young
and someday someone else
will put these feelings in a play and philosophy will tell me someday what i felt and thought today andsoon we'll all be footnotes in a book of history but the past is past for now
the future is a mystery
and now
and now
i need the rush of posibility
the unprepared reply
i need the sudden flash of anger
and the sparkle in your eye
i need a better source of health care
i need to stop smoking so much weed
i want a cat
i want a pony
i want to stop being a crony
i want these rich epople to go away and let me do my job
thats what i need
i want to stop being the sidekick with the
cynical reply
or the cleevr confidance who never ever gets the guy
i dont need convoluted speeches that no one will understand
i dont need songs with back up singers or a big brass band
a big brass band
cause we all the stars, the moon, the fun. we can all make love we can all have fun and tonight the party isnt done
no tonight the partys just begun
so we will hvae books and rhymes and big long words and love and sex and sights there will be speeches and engagments and reversals and goodbyes
we will have every wor thats written every song thats been sung. we'll have it all
we'll have it all
we'll have it all while we are young
while we are young
while we are young
lots of la's
