MIm DO
Innocence, it don't come easy - in a sense it never will
LAm SOL RE
Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed
MIm DO
So I asked our Mr. Mellor how one gets to where one's going
LAm SOL RE
And he points to his survival, and he points me down the road
MIm
As I go on
DO
Wondering if I've got a soul and
RE SOL
Counting down the hours 'til it goes
MIm DO
On a dark wet night in April, on a street in Jersey where
LAm SOL RE
I went looking for some writing that I knew would not be there
MIm DO
And a punter from the Pelhams and the police, in the rain,
LAm SOL RE
Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had changed
MIm DO
But after listening all morning, as I drove down 95
LAm SOL RE
To a story of detainees who were barely kept alive
MIm DO
I could deal with trying to process pigeons acting like they're doves
LAm SOL RE
But not with interference from the power lines above
MIm
As I go on
DO
Wondering if I've got a soul and
RE SOL
Counting down the hours 'til it goes
MIm DO
And oh, precautions, yes precautions
LAm SOL RE
But if you're playing with a gun, you could kill someone
MIm DO
And in the dark it's hard to know a friend
LAm SOL RE
But I'm not angry, I won't be forever angry
MIm DO
As I'm walking toward tomorrow with a rifle in my hand
LAm SOL RE
And I'm thinking about New England, and I'm missing old Japan
MIm DO
And a mountain in California where a spring runs hot and cold
LAm SOL RE
And if I told you I felt ageless, would you tell me I'm not old?
MIm
As I go on
DO
Wondering if I've got a soul and
RE SOL
Counting down the hours 'till it goes
