Moondog Monologue LRC歌词

No matter where I came from, I say No matter where I go To me what matters is where I am on this day Let me identify myself now Songsters both, and both clad in brown The hermit thrush, and I dwell far off of town Death, when you come to me, may you come to me swiftly I would rather not linger Not linger Driving with Herr Doktor one day for the air He recircled a square before he taught me how to square the very same circle You are opportunists the worst way Therefore, I pray, let it pay for you to know me I do not dress as I do to attract attention I attract attention because I dress as I do You, the vandal, plunder the village as you will The earthworm will pillage you, the vandal, when you are under I would bow down before just one One who bows before none I should know who that one might be who could do that to me I am that one And I bow down before me Since the hunter is the hunted, surely he knows what it is to listen in ecstatic dread to some oncoming hunter's tread Such and such is a star that filters through the starry blue alone A burning star, turning in an orbit all of it's own Such and such is I Beasts always were great trailblazing engineers Modern engineering would do well to do as well today As well as beasts have done If on this rock I stand alone Loneliness will turn heel as he turns to stone Each today is yesterday's tomorrow, which is now Now is all I have, now is all I need Now is all I want Now Better I go when you would that I stay, that I stay on Than stay when you would that I would go Better I go than stay Ebb and flow of the ocean Love and hate of emotion Nothing lasts, is my refrain As the moon and my feelings wax and wane I remain calm If I was just everything until I fell, then was just nothing Then worming up pathways, I found with pleasure I was just something Standing at the door of my departure, I observed That your eyes belie all that you have said For you are still in love with me Then, when recognition comes You will take my muse, take her to his bed at ease Have his will, have his fill And strangle her My tiny butterfly butters my bread My briny flutter-by keeps me well fed Why should I mutter? Stung by this last rebuff, I rebound On the way back, I hear me saying to myself: "Dwell in your shell" "One thing about life," the It said, "It feeds upon itself over and over," "And of itself is fed" Should I love you as I love myself? Suppose I hate myself? I would be as free to hate you too I am never quite educated, never quite so But I am ever in the painful process of becoming so You remember me and my song Only such immortality strikes creative sparks from my soul Because of you Who could wear out their welcome there When there is no welcome there to wear out? There is where it is, here on Earth I would advise you not to generalize as a rule A fool to thee, I have just uttered a generalization Ah, me! Down is up, and so up is down Because the Earth is round There is no such a thing as up or down This one wish is ever so near to my heart But oh, so far away from my tongue Sadness was so mixed with gladness that she wept for joy She was so sad Tear-filled eyes but enhanced the smile on her face She was so glad Think of all of the thoughts that I think They are naught to me, compared to just one fleeting thought of you How could I fear for my last day When I am dying daily? And have been since my first day Thus, the clown wore cap and gown For she lived by degrees while she died by degrees With a frown Voices of spring were in chorus Each voice was singing a song I could not sing in that chorus, until I wrote me a song I wrote my song and joined the throng Why besiege my liege still further? For my wooing is turning Your Majesty's royal head And turning toward me Though I climbed up the highest mountain in view Yet content it was not mine For beyond, a mountain still higher was glooming Now is that painful moment of parting we dreaded Saying goodbye is plural indemnity, truly For having said hello
