Pasadena 03:13
Pasadena I didn't mean you harm I was passing through I was passing by your charms I was playing my part, I was playing my part By the pachysandra, past the pear and the old palm tree. Fresh gardena in the air and you say you warned me That it falls apart, you said I'd fall apart. We all fall apart. yeah it falls apart. California I sure have worn you well I got nothing for you but the blood that I'm trying to sell Since you broke my heart Since you broke my heart Yeah you broke my heart Since you broke my heart I've loosed the love that left me, the lavender that laid me low Yeah I'd be lucky if you let me, honey could you let me know Please, Chicago

By the time you get here all the birds will sing he's done and gone home Cross the Buena Vista, marking miles, how the boy has done grown So let the birds sing: La la la, la la, la la la … (repeat) (You say) let 'em drown in dollars, digging down, dredging all those cents (I say) We gotta love our neighbors but I'm glad they bought the real big fence still we hear'm sing: Chorus (lalala's) The Coleus in the Columbarium Past their peak, the cold is killing'm (and you don't care to know but) Winter's perching on the power lines and he'll be here before you know it's time. (So I think we ought to) take the shortest line, I'll get the good wine and let it all go Wrap up in those vines and smoke our minds until we find that flow (and we start to sing) La la la, la la, la la la … (repeat)

Green 04:02
Green by the water… rage with me fretful Dimly lit quarter… rehearse here forgetful There's green in the world…. runner-up rally H O R S… at a lay-up party Love is a blanket… all green and thread-bare Measuring distance, would you please take care . Take Care…. Take good care. Take care. There's Green in our minds, lover unfold me There's rain on the breeze, take in and behold me There's Green in our bellies, brother you know it Fuzzy headed poet, go on take it you own it
