And if you want it, well you can lean on me

benched

Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, I just did not care.
Took all my friends out for a good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go.
I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins.

'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
(Jimmy Cox, 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out', 1923)

Following the path as it leads toward
The darkness in the north
Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before

Summertime think it was June
Yeah think it was June
Laying back, head on the grass

I want to sleep with common people,

shining bicycles (η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος)

Η ποίησις είναι ανάπτυξι στίλβοντος ποδηλάτου.
Μέσα της όλοι μεγαλώνουμε. Οι δρόμοι είναι λευκοί.
Τ' άνθη μιλούν.
Από τα πέταλά τους αναδύονται συχνά μικρούτσικες παιδίσκες.
Η εκδρομή αυτή δεν έχει τέλος.

And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside.

In the warming bath

crawl out your window

He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
I'm sure that he has no intentions
Of looking your way, unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions.

Can you please crawl out your window?
Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to.

(Bob Dylan, 'Can you please crawl out your window?', 1965)

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

somebody got murdered

Somebody got murdered on New Year's Eve
Somebody said dignity was the first to leave
I went into the city, went into the town
Went into the land of the midnight sun

Searchin' high, searchin' low
Searchin' everywhere I know
Askin' the cops wherever I go
Have you seen dignity?
(Bob Dylan, "Dignity")

Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home

I see you falling
How long to go till you hit the ground
You keep on screaming
Don't you see me hear
Am I a ghost to you?
Now your grips to strong
Can't catch love with a net or a gun
Gotta keep faith that your path will change
Gotta keep faith that your luck will change tomorrow
(James, "Tomorrow", 1997)

And ignite your bones
