I got a book of photographs from old sing sing[00:00:15]

They used to say upstate[00:00:19]

And that's what they'd mean[00:00:20]

It's such a prettier name for such an awful place[00:00:22]

And every page you're looking at another blank face[00:00:25]

And you know[00:00:28]

You have to find a way to pass time[00:00:29]

And that's what I've been doing for a while now[00:00:32]

Baby[00:00:34]

I've been marking each day with the light on the wall[00:00:35]

And waiting by the telephone to take that call[00:00:38]

And you try to change my mind[00:00:41]

About to choose this[00:00:44]

'Cause you know too well the history of excuses[00:00:48]

Looking the clean to that liquor machine[00:00:54]

That can jingle their coffers all gold bus tweed[00:00:57]

And jingle the heavens and driving the bus[00:01:01]

'Cause there's hatches in the back and nothing but this whole hook[00:01:04]

And you know[00:01:07]

I wish that I could change it with a vote[00:01:08]

But I never found myself on the right side of the polls[00:01:10]

You got a dream[00:01:13]

Well[00:01:14]

I'm out in the open[00:01:15]

And there's mountains and trees and the smell of the ocean[00:01:17]

I try to change my mind[00:01:20]

About to choose this[00:01:22]

'Cause you know too well the history of excuses[00:01:26]

I'm down riding on a hudson river train[00:01:52]

I'm at the window as we're passing by the rockefeller estate[00:01:55]

I used to buy up all the houses just to clear 'em away[00:01:59]

'Cause they cluttered the view of the far palisades[00:02:01]

Now I came by one house[00:02:05]

Let alone a valley full[00:02:07]

And my only view is of some blank wall[00:02:08]

It gets tired of being confined[00:02:12]

And waiting around in holes[00:02:18]

I got you for tied[00:02:25]

And I try to change my mind[00:02:30]

About to choose this[00:02:33]

'Cause you know too well the history of excuses[00:02:36]
