The Golden Age Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy The Golden Age ]

Am cigarette c and carrot juice f-g(sus4)
And get yourself a am new tattoo c for those sleeveless f days of g(sus4) june

I'm sitting on the cafe zinho's steps with a book i haven't started yet
Watching all the girls walk by

Could i take you f out
I'll be yours without a dm doubt
C on that big g(sus4) dipper

And if the sound of this it frightens you
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent

And hey june why did you have to come, why did you have to come around so soon
I wasn't ready for all this nature

The terrible green green grass, and violent blooms of flowered dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy

But we could wait awhile
Before we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage

The thousands they had tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came

Repeat section 1 x2

And we could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage

From the top you can see monterey
Or think about san jose
Though i know it`s not that pleasant

And hey jim kerouac brother of the famous jack
Or so he likes to say "lucky bastard"

He's sitting on the cafe xeno's steps with a girl i'm not over yet
Watching all the world go by

Boy you are looking bad
Did i make you feel that sad
I'm honestly flattered

But if she asks me out
I'll be hers without a doubt
On that big dipper

Cigarettes and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days of june

I'm sitting on the cafe xeno's steps
I haven't got the courage yet, i haven't got the courage yet,

I haven't got the ending am courage yet
