This Ticonderoga

I met a man in a rock and roll band

He said: Won't you come with me?

I let him know that I could not go

You see, I get mine for free

We are all just soldiers in this battlefield of life

One thing that's for certain is my burning appetite

Step inside the emotional ride

I could use some company

Illusionary is so damn scary

I call my best friend Flea

This Ticonderoga is an element that shines

Connected by the great unknown, between us there are lines

Yes, I told her that

I'm the older cat

Can I scratch your back all day?

I would not have it any other way, well

Means so much to me

Can you see the we?

What are we ever gonna do?

When all I want to be is next to you

I took a girl from the underworld

And I held her way too tight

When it's all been said and done

She was not up for the fight

We are all just soldiers in this open field of time

Hoping to get with you when you get right with your mind

It's my favorite

So I savor it

I must report that life is short

So of your love I'll take ten quarts, well

There's no end to this

Don't pretend to miss

You and you would not repent

For sitting on my elephant and

Am I crazy to

Join the lazy zoo?

All these human butterflies and

Cactus flowers swollen eyes and

I want the devil's share

Of you, I do declare

Again I'm asking can I do

When all these animals want

To be just like you

I met a girl with long black hair

And she opened up so wide

A daffodil growing in Brazil

And I picked her for my bride

We are all just soldiers in this epic loving flight

And no one that I know has ever really done it right

Done it right

Done it right

Done it right

Done it right
