Come On! Feel the Illinoise! Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream |
Oh great intentions |
I’ve got the best of interventions |
But when the ads come |
I think about it now |
In my infliction |
Entrepreneurial conditions |
Take us to glory |
I think about it now |
Cannot conversations cull united nations? |
If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients |
Cannot all creation call it celebration? |
Or united nation. |
Put it to your head. |
Oh great white city |
I’ve got the adequate committee |
Where have your walls gone? |
I think about it now |
Chicago, in fashion, the soft drinks, expansion |
Oh Columbia! |
From Paris, incentive, like Cream of Wheat invented, |
The Ferris Wheel! |
Oh great intentions |
Covenant with the imitation |
Have you no conscience? |
I think about it now |
Oh God of Progress |
Have you degraded or forgot us? |
Where have your laws gone? |
I think about it now |
Ancient hieroglyphic or the South Pacific |
Typically terrific, busy and prolific |
Classical devotion, architect promotion |
Lacking in emotion. |
Think about it now. |
Chicago, the New Age, but what would Frank Lloyd Wright say? |
Oh Columbia! |
Amusement or treasure, these optimistic pleasures |
Like the Ferris Wheel! |
Cannot conversations cull united nations? |
If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients |
Columbia! |
I cried myself to sleep last night |
And the ghost of Carl, he approached my window |
I was hypnotized, I was asked |
To improvise |
On the attitude, the regret |
Of a thousand centuries of death |
Even with the heart of terror and the superstitious wearer |
I am riding all alone |
I am writing all alone |
Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition |
I am riding all alone |
I am running all alone |
And we laughed at the beatitudes of a thousand lines |
We were asked at the attitudes |
They reminded us of death |
Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Are you writing from the heart? |
And I cried myself to sleep last night |
For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level |
Are you writing from the heart? |
Are you writing from the heart? |
