Don't be a hero
Heroes are so sad
Don't be a hero
It'll just make you feel bad
Beware of the candyman
He doesn't realize that the present that he's brought to you
Is gonna burn out your eyes

Old Pharaoh's daughter once awallowed a grain
Which took her to Hades
Where they blew out her brain
And all the physicians justo looked on in shame
While from the walls of the temple
They erased her name

"I'll see you tomorrow" I heard someone say
The man he was talking to had faded away
O how he must have cried
When he was alone
For the devil had taken his soul
And the snow had froze him to the bone

God's living herb is okay I suppose
But the thorn in your side once grew on a rose
So just take it easy, that's all I beseech
For love is the highest high you can reach

It's Like You Never Left

1973,Columbia




There's a dream keeps returning
Like the rain to the sea
There's a fire ever burning
In the souls of the free

There's a lifetime of learning
But before you can rest
Take a look at yourself, boy

It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left

I feel some confusion, when I'm not with you
Well I've got to get back
where it's green and it's blue

There's a part of me learning
That it's all been in jest
At the end of your journey

It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left
It's like you never left never went away
