By the second dear friends[00:00:02]
My head will burst my life will end[00:00:04]
So I'd like to start this one off by saying[00:00:06]
Live and love[00:00:09]
I was young and at home in bed[00:00:11]
And I was hanging on the words some poem said[00:00:14]
And thirty-one[00:00:16]
I was impressionable[00:00:16]
I was upsettable[00:00:18]
I tried to make my breathing stop my heart beat slow[00:00:26]
So when my mom and John came in I would be cold[00:00:36]
From a on Washington Avenue the year of 1972[00:00:47]
Broke my bones and skull and it was memorable[00:00:51]
It was half a second and I was halfway down[00:00:57]
Do you think I wanted to turn back around and teach a class[00:01:00]
Where you kiss the a** that I've exposed to you[00:01:03]
And at the funeral the University[00:01:12]
Cried at three poems they'd present in place of a broken me[00:01:22]
I was breaking in a case of suds[00:01:32]
At the brass rail a fall-down drunk with his tongue torn out and his balls removed[00:01:35]
And I knew that my last lines were gone while stupidly I lingered on[00:01:42]
Other wise men know when it's time to go[00:01:46]
And so I should too[00:01:52]
And so I fly into the brightest winter sun[00:01:57]
Of this frozen town I'm stripped down to move on[00:02:07]
My friends I'm gone[00:02:15]
Well I hear my father fall[00:02:28]
And I hear my mother call[00:02:34]
And I hear the others all whispering Come home[00:02:39]
I'm sorry to go[00:02:47]
I loved you all so[00:02:52]
But this is the worst trip I've ever been on[00:02:59]
So hoist up the John B sail[00:03:10]
(Hoist up the John B sail)[00:03:13]
See how the main sail sets[00:03:15]
(See how the main sail sets)[00:03:17]
I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home[00:03:20]
With a book in my hand[00:03:27]
In the way I had planned[00:03:32]
Well this is the worst trip I've ever been on[00:03:38]
Hoist up the John B sail[00:03:48]
(Hoist up the John B sail)[00:03:51]
See how the main sail sets[00:03:54]
(See how the main sail sets)[00:03:55]
I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home[00:03:58]
With a book in each hand[00:04:05]
(With a book in each hand)[00:04:08]
In the way I had planned[00:04:10]
(In the way I had planned)[00:04:12]
I feel so broke up[00:04:16]
I wanna go home[00:04:21]
