• Einstein on the Beach
• Long December

Einstein on the Beach

Albert's always sincere, he's the sensitive type,
His intentions are clear, he wanna be well-liked,
If everything is nothing, then are we anything?
Is it better to be better than to be anything?

And Albert's vision's blooming uncontrolled.....
All his wings are slowly sinking

(Chorus)

And the world begins to disappear
The worst things come from inside here
And all the king's men reappear
For an eggman, on and off the wall
Will never be together again

Einstein down on the beach staring into the sand
It's everything he believes in has been shattered
What you fear in the night in the day comes to call anyway-ay

We all get burned as:

(Bridge)

One more sun comes sliding down the sky
One more shadow leans against the wall

(Chorus)

Albert's waiting in the sun
On a field American
For the cause of some inflated form of hit and run

(Chorus)

Albert's fallen on the sun
Cracked his head wide open

(Chorus x 2)

No never be together again
No no never never never again, uh huh
What you fear in the night...

A long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you would
na na na....

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean..I guess I should.
