Mama， Won't You Keep Them Castles in the Air and Burning?

Invisible like all the reasons Dark and cold like all the seasons Things are not as you would have them I'm no man and you're no woman I guess I hope to see you sometime Though our paths will never interwine again I hope you notice I'm no hare and you're no tortoise And I'm touched by the same sad feeling of dread Just to know that you can't wait to see me dead An idea in your head and a compass in your hand On a mission to a foreign land So now I'm out for political favors A salary that corresponds with labor Big house and a morning paper Good fences that make good neighbors I'm at the end This here my rope Another year to write and read the book I wrote Now darling out For a good time To bathroom wall Toss it a dime Dead king dead swing Ali look out! We have new rules To do without You talk or jesus Until I'm well red The man is Swimming Swimming Swimming in my head Why settle down? Why even try? Me tiger mouth Meet bloodless eye So drop dead stock What fallen tree?
