Three

I seem to recollect that everybody ate
Once upon a time when everybody dance
Ticklin' the clouds with your feet above the ground
Try to remember
It wasn't long ago that everybody talked
Of sticks and stones no broken bones, goes like this

There goes the spaceman headed to the launchpad
Got no valid passport, need no reservation
Picked out his future from the Sunday paper
Saw a wild frontiersman begging slings and arrows
Cause he's too tired and too blue
Too far gone to worry you
Cause he's too tired, too blue

Pull back the curtain shouting dusty wisdom
Rather see more than learn
Rather do more than earn
Billy-Jacked the weekend doin' monkey business
Took the secret pathway, met the men from Mars
Cause I'm so tired and so blue
So far gone to worry you
Cause I'm so tired, so blue, how 'bout you?

Silence sleeps on creaseless sheets and the empty locker wonders
Of missing notes and anecdotes, and how the lead might burn
Chit-chat, ideas, facts
Activity, work, results
Technique, style, art
Many, some, few

Forget the early warning
Stand up, let it fly
No sense in early warning
I got all that I need
Don't need now early warning
Try to remember
