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!
