Man of Action

I don't sleep
I just lie in bed and get up in the morning
What a funny life
I don't talk
I just sit on the couch and hope to hear the phone ring
The silence cuts like a knife
You're all talk, talk, talk
But I'm a man of action
I don't read
'Cause if I did I'd probably have to learn to listen
I'd rather die
I don't lie
Unless you're asking me about who I have been kissin'
Then I'll lie
You're all talk, talk, talk
But I'm a man of action
I don't hide
But when they drop the bomb I'll run into the shelter
Hope the sirens are loud
Don't let me die
In my footsteps before I go under the ground
If I live I don't need to be proud
You're all talk, talk, talk
But I'm a man of action
I don't want to talk about revolution
'Cause I see it coming
And it's not ours

it’s getting dark out in ooster park
but my thoughts were with you
oh so completely
I was in berlin when you got back to brooklyn
and when I
called you that night you talked to me so sweetly
with your voice in the attic on the twin bed
that I shared with my friend Emil then
late at night the dark countryside
sprawled out my open window
as you said that you would try it
and i lay on my side with your voice in that
deep blue quiet
how long can i belong to you
i don’t know !
how long can i belong to you
i hope things are good
out in your neck of the woods
but i wish you wouldn’t leave my line so quiet
i know how lonely it gets
way out here in oberlin
but i don’t mean that i want you to stop trying
with your voice in the attic on the twin bed
that I shared with my friend Emil then
late at night the dark countryside
