OUT OF JERICHO
I’M
IN THE MOOD FOR TIGHT BLUE JEANS,
LIZARD
BOOTS AND TURQUISE RINGS,
LEATHER
VEST WITH SILVER STUDS,
CADILLAC
AND THE STARS ABOVE.
TRAVELLIN’
THROUGH THIS SPACIOUS LAND,
BILLBOARD
SIGNS AND FAST FOOD STANDS.
BURMA
SHAVE AND SOFT ICE CREAM,
LOOKIN’
FOR THE AMERCIAN DREAM.
DESERT
NIGHT, A HOT WIND BLOWS,
HEADIN’
UP FROM MEXICO,
DOIN’
TIME ON AN OPEN ROAD,
SHOW
ME THE WAY OUT OF JERICHO.
WHO’S
THAT MAN IN THE OVERCOAT,
CARRIN’
THE SIGN SAYS HE NEEDS WORK?
I
THINK I’VE SEEN HIS FACE BEFORE,
I’M
AFRAID TO OPEN UP THE DOOR.
JAMES
DEAN WHERE DID YOU GO?
WISH
YOU WERE HERE TO WATCH THIS SHOW.
T.V.
SET AND A BEER AT HOME,
A
WITNESS TO THE FALL OF ROME.
PRESS
MY BOOT DOWN TO THE FLOOR,
MOVIN’
OUT AT A HUNDRED-AND-FOUR,
CLOSE
MY EYES AND FEEL THE WIND,
EASY
RIDER COME BACK AGAIN.
