Potlatch Blues 

ball and chain 
loss and gain 
stuck in the middle 
of a hard, cold rain 
lord I got those potlatch blue 
red rubber ball 
tenement wall 
busker with fiddle 
asks me "Is that all?" 
no  pain like those potlatch blues 
I give and take 
caught by the snake 
ain't got winning cards 
so I just bluff and fake 
caught up in those potlatch blues 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Where I Want To Be 
 

where the sun touches the sand 
where the land touches the sea 
where the water meets the sky 
that's where I want to be 
that's where I want to be 

when the judge is done 
and the jury is in no hurry 
when the worried prisoner 
lays down his woe and worry 
that's where I want to be 

where the streetlights fade 
and the night begins to rule 
where the wise man has it made 
when he acts the fool 
that's where I want to be 

it's easier to learn than unlearn 
it's easier to swim than burn 
it's harder to go than stay 
it's harder to work than play 
where I want to go 
where I want to go 
that's where I want to go 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

Attenuation 
 

porch night 
gold-plated stereo jacks 
small breeze from the east 
thinking not of 
what to eat 
but how 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

Pleasant Dreams 
 

pleasant dreams for all of us 
to be found 
cause if you're looking for trouble 
there's enough to go around 
it's just a dream 
we carry on 
bright colors 
soothing sounds 
a dream we dreamed so long ago 
waiting in the lost and found
