9th St Blues

Once met a prophet in the park

He disappeared into the dark

Told me to watch for the wolf in sheep's clothes

I threw his words out on the breeze

I just want a mind that's free from the rattling of

ghost and babies

Once met a lover in the rain

Yeah her name was Mary Jane

She said keep me warm and

I'll keep you sane

So I did until the thread of her jacket ran with red

I said sorry but I think you should go

But you don't know the heavy load the drags me under

And when I see the dangling light I won't stop swimming

I took the bus to Boston town

To escape from New York Ground

The whole time I was dreaming of puget sound

Nobody else will ever known

I'm worse than Edgar Allen Poe

I'll hide your body underneath my own

But you don't know the heavy load that drags me under

And when I see the dangling light I won't stop swimming

Goodbye Routina, Goodbye

Goodbye Routina, Goodbye

I'll never beat ya, but I can leave ya

I walked under the willow tree

Smelled familiar potpourri

That same man was waiting

Waiting for me

He never looked me in the eye

I could tell by his sigh

Yeah the world it never dies

Just you and me

Goodbye Routina!
