OUT OF THE ROUNDABOUT
Got a skin of sun
I'm breathin' cellophane
Got a fadin' tan
To offer to the rain
Who's the referee
When winter plays the ball?
Runnin' out of time
To celebrate the fall
Out of the roundabout
Out of the roundabout
Got a cotton hat
To wear all year around
Got a time disease
That keeps me upside-down
And the willow trees
Are spittin' out some green
I would give a look
But spring-time looks a scream
Out of the roundabout
Out of the roundabout
Now all the seasons run together
And the middle days are gone
Without our weather repetitions
I can't shake my dice
Can't skip a line no no no no
Had my bicycle ridin'
Fast wheelin' and peddlin'
The equinox hurdles
Over gates of heat
Even numbers to bring out
And courses to follow
In search of the days
Before I missed their beat
I ran into a black cat
Good taste for all timing
His ivory shaker
Couldn't pour out rain
I've been truckin' and trackin'
Still missing the rhythm
Of change's that used to
Make me feel...all right
I can't shake my dice
Can't skip a line no no no no
I met birds on a cable
A dark-feathered station
Time flown from migration
But they wouldn't fly
Askin' cherries and peaches
To work for their accents
A natural compass
But they fooled me good
I've been joggin' and jugglin'
Still missin' the rhythm
Of change's that used to
Make me feel...all right
Seasons run together
And the middle days are gone
Without our weather repetitions
I can't shake my dice
Can't skip a line no no no
Had my bicycle ridin'
Fast wheelin' and peddlin'
The equinox hurdles
Over gates of heat
Even numbers to bring out
And courses to follow
In search of the days
I've been truckin' and trackin'
Still missing the rhythm
Of change's that used to
Make me feel...all right
I've been joggin' and jugglin'
Still missin' the rhythm
Of change's that used to
Make me feel...all right
Got a cotton hat
To wear all year around
Got a time disease
That keeps me upside-down
And the willow trees
Are spittin' out some green
I would give a look
But spring-time looks a scream
Out of the roundabout
Out of the roundabout
