Ordinary Joe - Terry Callier

For my opening line I might try to indicate my state of mind

Or turn you on or tell you that I'm laughing

Just to keep from crying

Pretty music when you hear it keep on trying to get near it

A little rhythm for your spirit

But that's what it's for coming in here's the door

I've seen a sparrow get high and waste his time in the sky

He thinks it's easy to fly he just a little bit freer than I

Now here's a mystery maybe you can help to make it clear to me

When you're fast asleep

What is it that's lighting up the dreams you see

All your tears can't conceal it all your prayers may not reveal it

You got soul so you can feel it

And when you make the scene then you'll know what I mean hey

I've seen a sparrow get high and waste his time in the sky

He thinks it's easy to fly he's a little bit freer than I

Di bengbengbeng di bengbeng di bengbengbeng di bengbeng

Down here on the ground

When you find folks are giving you the run around

Keep your game up tight

And if you must just take your secrets underground

Now politicians try to speech you mad color watchers try to teach you

Very few will really try to reach you

If you're lost in the stack that's o k come on black

Now I been was last than I and they arm just ever resky

Don't you know easy to fly burning resky

It's easy to fly he's a little bit freer than I

Ordinary joe although they say you're just a lazy so and so

What they think is real is nothing but an animated puppet show

So don't let time and space confuse you

Don't let name and form abuse you let big joe williams blues you

In the light of the sun you can see how they run

I've seen a sparrow get high and waste his time in the sky

Don't you know he thinks it's easy to fly

He's a little bit freer than I
