I walked from Charing Cross to Soho in just under half…

I felt like I should know enough to put him…

And in the…

It's walking to the battleground that always makes me cry
I've met so few folks in my time who…
…war is done
Where are you now, my son?
An old man with unsteady gait and beard of ancient white
Bent to the ground…
…those who live in town
Take the children and the blankets to the concrete underground
Sometimes we'd sing and joke and paint bright…
No one treats me like you used to do
I hope you're out and happy now
Doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I…
…want to die
And now I'm still feeling blue
All right
And baby
Since you've walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help…
…but wonder why you had to go
I hope you're out and happy now
Doing up the town cause you know how
Every time I hear your name I want to…
…I know how I wanted this to
be
You go down to the water
Drink down of the water
Walk up off the water,
leave it be
This…
Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and
starry
Some of them, they surprise
The bus ride, I went to write this…

Aluminum, the weakest link
I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick
your feet

Eating nachos in the sun
South America here I come
I want to be a Mexican Hitler
Viva la Fuhrer, viva la…
…south of the border
When you're low, where can you go?
Where to...?
Mexico!
We'll find a small Peruvian Village
Just like Poland…

And if the propaganda works one day
Then we'll all be goose-stepping in Cal-if-orn-ia
I want to be a Mexican Hitler
I want to…

It has become myth, a creation myth, this West Bronx party at the end of the summer in 1973. Not for its…
…-school party. Now people would come to this party and see these big-ass boxes they never seen before.”
It was the last week in August of 1973…
…proud DJ, he wanted to stamp his personality onto his playlist. But this was the Bronx. They wanted the breaks. So, like any good…
…same
And every town I play is like the one from where I came.
The Rolling Stones are millionaires, flower children pallbearers…
…is dead.
It's 1973, I wonder who we're gonna see
Who's in power now? Think I'll turn on my TV,
The man on the news said China's gonna…
…choose whether they will win or lose
Follow God or sing the blues, and who they're gonna sin with.
What a mess the world is in, I wonder who began it.
Don't ask me, I'm only visiting this planet…
…thoughts from the screen I ever see
[Pre-Chorus]
So put down the phone and talk to me now
It's like you don't even really know how…
…then
Why can't we pretend to be in 1973
[Verse]
I'm missing the good old days when we would communicate
It's like we're all stuck…
…reality, let's rewind to 1973
Just you and me
I want to know what those times were like
No smart phones, communication to write
Who knows…
Here I am again in the ship's post office
I want to send a telegram
Send it to the captain
Asking where the hell I am
I've been on this…
American songs from 1973
Getting wise to the officer's lies
That we've even got a country
You say we're independent
And we've even got the right to…
…and think
We never take on passengers
Though we seem to have lots of room
And I can't escape the notion captain
That this is a floating tomb…
Gates my iPhone in 1973
Then I traveled in time to the night I was conceived
I met up with my parents and we hung out all night…

Wait a minute... no! No! No--
You have to be kidding me!

This cannot be happening

With the naked eye
I won't lie
It's hard to get a fanbase
