Get up! It’s morning time, and it would follow reason that you rise and shine At night at night you don’t follow reason no you don’t you just follow feelings, pass a note and you’re only reason why you never follow reason defined defined by love Get down you never respond to reason No you don’t maybe it just don’t feel right Now you could use some advice I know At night you say goodbye to reason You just follow feeling You say goodbye to reason You’re defined by love

Nicotine Dreams, Pt. 1 03:09
lyrics

“Even in the dream things seemed timid at first, your hand on my back was gone so soon, but not before I knew I’d liked it there on an aimless trail for the sake of itself with wonderfully surreal scenery we talked about music and poetry and food that we loved Anything but love itself.”

Sweet Betsy from Pike (traditional) 04:21
lyrics
buy track
i just copied and pasted these from wikipedia, they are not exact to what I've sung here: Did you ever hear tell of Sweet Betsy from Pike, Who crossed the wide mountains with her lover Ike, Two yoke of cattle, a large yeller dog, A tall Shanghai rooster, and a one-spotted hog. They swam the wide rivers and crossed the tall peaks, And camped on the prairie for weeks upon weeks. Starvation and cholera, hard work and slaughter-- They reached California 'spite of hell and high water. One evening quite early they camped on the Platte, Twas near by the road on a green shady flat. Betsy, sore-footed, lay down to repose-- With wonder Ike gazed on that Pike County rose. The wagon broke down with a terrible crash, And out on the prairie rolled all sorts of trash. A few little baby-clothes, done up with care, Looked rather suspicious, but all on the square. The alkali desert was burning and bare, And Isaac's soul shrank from the death that lurked there. "Dear old Pike County, I'll go back to you"-- Says Betsy, "You'll go by yourself if you do!" They soon reached the desert, where Betsy gave out, And down in the sand she lay rolling about. Ike in great wonder looked on in surprise, Saying, "Betsy, get up, you'll get sand in your eyes." Sweet Betsy got up in a great deal of pain. She declared she'd go back to Pike County again. Ike gave a sigh, and they fondly embraced, And they traveled along with his arm round her waist. The Shanghai ran off, and the cattle all died, That morning the last piece of bacon was fried. Ike got discouraged, Betsy got mad, The dog drooped his tail and looked wonderfully sad. They suddenly stopped on a very high hill, With wonder looked down upon old Placerville. Ike said to Betsy, as he cast his eyes down, "Sweet Betsy, my darling, we've got to Hangtown." Long Ike and Sweet Betsy attended a dance. Ike wore a pair of his Pike County pants. Betsy was covered with ribbons and rings. Says Ike, "You're an angel, but where is your wings?" A miner said, "Betsy, will you dance with me?" "I will that, old hoss, if you don't make too free. Don't dance me hard, do you want to know why? Doggone you, I'm chock-full of strong alkali." This Pike County couple got married, of course, But Ike became jealous, and obtained a divorce. Betsy, well-satisfied, said with a shout, "Goodby, you big lummox, I'm glad you backed out!"
