Pushing through the markestquare
So many mothers crying
News had just come over
We had five years
Left to sighing
Newsguy wept when he told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much that his face was wet
Then i knew he was not lying
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
My brain hurt like a warehouse, And had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to get everything in there
And so many people...
...All the short five people...
...And all the nobody people...
...And all the somebody people.
I never thought i'd need... So many people
A girl my age went off her head
Hit some tiny children
If the black had not pulled her off
I think she would have killed them
A soldier with the broken arm
It's to stare to the weels of a Cadillac
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
And a queer threw up at the side of that
I think i saw you in an ice cream parlor
Drinking milkshakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
Don't think you knew you were in my song
And it was cold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
And i thought of ma, and i wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you walk...
...I kissed you, your're beautyful, i want you to walk
