Arroyo |
…city street |
Hang out |
Thumbs in pocket |
Black jacket |
Black jack |
Dego-red |
Manhattenized-Bohemia |
Of Southern California |
Tough punk of |
Cool, futuristic Montana… |
(sung) |
Well, have you ever been mixed up |
Feel like you’re in a stick-up, a hold-up |
A robbery in progress? |
Well, I have |
Well, have you ever been faked out |
Feel like you’re in a stake-out |
A cook-out, barbequed chicken? |
Well, I have |
Come on, mama, get on the yo-yo |
We’re all givin up down in the arroyo |
Have you ever been stranded |
Feel like you never landed |
A bandit, a merchant of Venice? |
Well, I have |
Well, have you even been tumbled |
Feel like you’re in a jungle |
A jingle, a town in New Jersey? |
Well, I have |
Come on, mama, get on the yo-yo |
We’re all givin up down in the arroyo |
(SAX SOLO) |
Well have you ever been hungry |
Feel like you’re gettin' ugly |
Ornery, and everybody’s greasy? |
Well, I have |
Well have you ever been zooey |
Feel like you’re David Bowie |
A truly unidentified person? |
Well, I have |
Come on, mama, get on the yo-yo |
We’re all givin up down in the arroyo |
(SAX SOLO) |
(spoken) |
…there is a possibility of … |
Something running parallel… |
What something is, it might be called |
Something other than what could be the same thing |
But uh, what could be the right thing |
In other words, it might be a contigent-pository |
If what you are doing at the same time |
That you are doing something else… |
… let’s take, for example, if you were born on Lake Michigan… |
