(原詩)

I was burned in the heat
Of the moment
Though it could've been
The heat of the day
When I learned
How my time had been wasted
Tear fell as I turned away

Now, I've got friends who
Will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who
Will give me fuck all

Corner of Bleecker and nowhere
In the land of not-quite-day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey

So looked round
To hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying
To brighten the day
I turned around
To look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah

The moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay

I don't ask that
My field's full of clover
I don't moan
At opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice,
Take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward

(interlude)

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from
The heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise

Now that everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got
To take time to pause
When you're down on the ground,
Don't be messing around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars

Hey babe
Hey babe
Hey babe
I lost my way
Hey babe
Hey babe
I really, really do now
Hey babe
Hey babe
I don't know where I'm going to find it
Hey babe
Hey babe
Do you want to know?
Do you really, really,
Want to help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good
That it must be right
Now my babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good
That it must be right
Now my babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so, that it feels so,
That it feels so, that it feels so good
So good, so good, oh yes
