Katowice or Cologne
Walkin' down west 33rd Street
To Macy's past Jack Dempsey's
Passing neon lights in Madison Square
I need a heavier coat to wear
Where are you off to, where are you going?
Off to Germany and then to Poland
Mostowice or Katowice
Oh baby can I get a kiss?
Another taste of your sweetness,
Another night of your heavenliness
Another look at you wearing nothing
But that bracelet on your skinny wrist
I fell asleep and I had a dream
It was summer on the beach Saint Augustine
And the water was warm and blue
I was playing in a small room
I met a brunette in a pretty dress
Went to her AC department
She smoked a joint and she drank Absinthe
And laid there like a slab of cement
And when I left we fell out of touch
And I can't say I missed her much
And when I left we fell out of touch
And I doubt she ever thought of me much
I woke up and I didn't want to go
Looked out the window at the blinding white snow
But I still got in my taxi though
Said goodbye and shut off my phone
Waited for an hour at the terminal
Writing notes in my moleskin journal
After all these years I still panic
When I cross the goddamn Atlantic
Squeezed into seat 33B
Sipping Starbucks Gunpowder Tea

Trying to remember some of my tunings
Most of them C, G, C, A, F, G, C
Oh it's all that I ever really need
To get from point A to point Z
To get from Ålesund to Leaning Tree
And in a worse shape I can always sing
After a sleepless all night fling
With a stomach flu in Ireland
With strep throat in Newfoundland
I just need a decent guitar tone
And a 58 microphone
A pretty girl in the front row
I don't need a drink, I don't need no blow
To get through a two hour show
In Katowice or Cologne
Oh when I get home
Gonna sleep till the cows come home
And take a little trip you know
Not tanker ridge or Maybe we'll walk to Mexico
Oh fuck I really don't know
What I'm gonna do when I'm home
I might just stay in San Francisco
Take a weekend in Pescadero
Dig up some abalone
Go fishing for some Cabezone
Go fishing for some sand sharks
Go fishing till I get stoned
Go picking some artichokes
Then run a hot bath and soak
Then run a hot bath and soak
