1. To my friends in New York I say hello
My friends in LA they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado

2. One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss

3. Well, somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Well, maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind

4. I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder
Spinning my head around
And taking my body under

5. I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied

6. So Cal is where my mind states
But its not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami?
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head

7. I tried to drive
All through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather
The barren empty sights
No oasis here to see
The sand is singing
Deathless words to me

8. She's given me a new born birth
I found sweetness on this bitter Earth
She knows the things to say
To help my troubles away

9. Some of us hover when we weep
For the other who was dying
Since the day they were born

10. Communication is the
Problem to the answer
You've got her number
And your hand is on the phone
