Little Jimmyâs gone way out of the back streets
Out of the window, into the falling rain
And heâs right on time, right on time
Thatâs why broken arrow waved his finger
Down the road so dark and narrow
In the evening just before the Sunday sixbells chime
And way out on the highway
All the dogs are barkinâ way down below
And you wander away from your hillside retreated view
Went to wanderinâ Nordhbridge way out on the railroad
Together all the tipping trucks will unload
All the scrapbooks built together stuck with glue
And Iâll stand beside you, beside you
Oh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never wonder why
Itâs gotta be, it has to be
Across the crystal pavements
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the
Barefoot virgin child
To wander past your window in the nighttime 'cross the floor
Crying as ecstasy surrounds you
Through the night air your proud time is open
Go well against the pointed idle breeze
Past the footlights of the brazen silence easy
In the night you cry and you want spirits to tell you
Everythingâs alright
Go ahead and do it one more time baby
Youâre satisfied I guess
Youâre way up and the sky comes down
Kaleidoscope
Open and just hold the lantern in the doorway
For the freedom of it
And you take the night air through your nostrils
And you breathe in out, in out
And you breathe just like that, just like that
How does it get you when it gets you
When it gets ya
You may not know itâs got you until you turn around
And Iâll point a finger at you, point a finger at you
You say which way, which way
Thatâs alright, weâve gotten hip to it
Goinâ to do it right now
Behind you, beside you, beside you
Oh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never, never, never, never wonder why at all
