Hills and winding streets
Towers and pyramids
Prostitutes and Politicians
Indians have claimed the Rock

The cable brings me home again
Visitors pay the fair
Wealthy in experience
The toast, the broken glass

Journey to the mountains
In time it's up in smoke
Suicidal
Too weak to die

Hesitant to leave
No strength to stay
The inmates running
Living day to day

The search
Still wanted
The healing takes some time
Home again, the asylum far behind

Stayed in an apartment in Sausalito for a while. Almost had a grabber walking up Lombard St.

Beautiful town, Byrd!

Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin'
That the city sleeps to hide.

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
