lyrics

JUTTA


It’s not all about me Leonard
And its sure not all about you
There’s something greater you see
I know it in my bones
But I know you
And you won’t let them listen to me
Go back to your family
Didn’t I blow you away like a feather
Oh there you were and here you are
Like an American GI
A real swell guy
And I sailed through sullen weather
Fifty dollars in my purse
November 1955
Crawled off a freighter barely alive
Oh its a magic carpet ride
It’s an order higher than science
That’s why I will not play your song Its not defiance
I’ll never touch one again Leonard
Cos when you turn
You really turn
And I had nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to go except a whole new ride
Into a future unseen
Oh I will work those machines
Maybe shutterbug by night
Paint the city lights I’ll be alright
Oh and there were dark red days
When like a good foreign girl I’d play
Silvery swing and hot high step
Squalor, splendor and unpaid rent
Oh and its a magic carpet ride
It’s an order higher than science
That’s why I cannot play your song
Its not defiance
I’ve only got myself to blame Leonard
I shied away from limelight
Shook it up with stagefright
And whisky
I never ceased to believe
My friends will find out in my obituary
Oh Len my future was so bright
Did it haunt you at night
Go home and watch your color TV
You know its not for me
Its a magic carpet ride
It’s a higher order than science
That’s why I could not play your song
Its not defiance
