The Grasshopper Song |
| Life like we lived it is leaving |
| I don’t think we’re achieving |
| What we had in mind |
| We sit back, relax and even |
| Though we don’t know what’s leaving |
| We’re waving good bye |
| Mike was a rock’n’roll star with a golden one on the hollywood boulevard, |
| If you asked me |
| O.t. |
| would have made a great big movie if he had had the money, |
| But he hadn’t |
| Tony was the new philosopher if they had only let her |
| They did not let her |
| Jenny was trying to do her own radio show — i mean she was |
| Ready to go |
| And no one i know is still trying to go where he wanted |
| Where he wanted |
| Before they think it’s too late and they can no longer wait they have landed |
| Stranded |
| I see anyone around seeking safer ground — they can’t find it |
| They won’t find it |
| The grasshopper and me, we’re not willing to see |
| What they all call winter |
| Life like we lived it is leaving |
| I don’t think we’re achieving |
| What we had in mind |
| We sit back, relax and even |
| Though we don’t know what’s leaving |
| We’re waving good bye |
| Life like we lived it is leaving |
| I don’t think we’re achieving |
| What we had in mind |
| We sit back, relax and even |
| Though we are down we’re believing |
| That we can’t get high |
