Trying To Reason With Hurricane Season - Live 1980

Squalls out on the Gulf Stream
Big storm's coming soon
Passed out in my hammock
God, I slept a way past noon
Stood up and tried to focus
I knew I wouldn't have to move far
Sure could use a Bloody Mary
So I stumbled next to Louie's Backyard

And now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes, it's quite insane
I know it hurts my brain
But it cleans me up, then I can go on

Something about a Sunday
It's a most peculiar gray
Strolling down the avenue
That's known as A1A
Feeling tired, then I got inspired
Hell, I knew that it wouldn't last long

So all alone, I walked back home
Sat on the beach and there I made up this song

And now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes, it's quite insane
I know it hurts my brain
But it cleans me up, then I can go on
And on, and on, and on

Well, the wind is blowing harder now
50 knots or there about
There's white caps on the ocean
And the summer's for mushroom sprout
It's time to close the shutters
It's time to go inside
In a week, I'll be in gay Paris
Hell, that's a mighty long airplane ride

Now I must confess
I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes, it's quite insane
I know it hurts my brain
But it cleans me up, then I can go on
Yes, it just cleans me out, then I can go on

Thank you
Thank you very much
As I mentioned earlier, ah
We're gonna, this, also go back and do some older things
And um, also cover some brand-new songs we'd like to do for you
This time we're gonna try one right now
And ah, like to dedicate this particularly
To anybody out, out there who ever broke a bone in their body
And had to spend time in a cast, you know?

Seems that everybody gets a little stupid every now and then
Falls down or, you know?
I had the, ah, wonderful opportunity to break my leg
Three times in one year, you know? And, ah
You get scars on your body, and you know
They're from, they're from surgery
But you go 'round, and you lie about 'em
"Oh, that's where the shark bit me
When I was rescuing this girl in the ocean, you know?"
It's alright, it's only a menial sin, you know?

But this is a, this is a song we dedicate to anybody out there
That also, ah, thinks the way, ah, the title goes
In which, the title being, 'Growing Older But Not Up'

And ah, this is a brand-new song
And I know that out in radio land
There's a lot of people who are taping this show
Which is against the law, you know?
Well, I do a lot of shit that's against the law, so, ah
If you all would just do me a favor
When you hear this brand-new song
Which is, which is just, it's been copyrighted
Just send a nickel to Irving Azoff in Los Angeles
And, ah, it'll be okay, you know? No problems at all

'Growing Older But Not Up' obviously
