Lyrics
"telegraph" ~ by Laura Allan, Mark Gould & Trance Thompson
~verse~
post hippie freaks and sidewalk shieks
selling candles and bongs out on the street
worthless junk , and T shirts . . . cheap !
you name it, we got it, 50 cents . . .
theres old man John , hes half past gone
I wonder what hes on
hes got a couple of teeth
and some real good songs
they come they go . . . its always new
always a circus , always a zoo
never know who youll bump into . . .
~chorus~
so if you need me , dont go lookin in LA . . .
if you wanna see me, Im not in New York or PA
Im down on telegraph
just tryin to laugh these blues away
~verse~
theres Rocko Man , Cello Boy
a regular stoner at the Open Mic
he lives with his mother
and he rocks the jam at night . .
& Randy from the East Coast , playin for free
invited me to do some Djmbe on Bobbie McGhee
barely twenty with a ring in his nose . . .
hes got the taste , he says anything goes
they come they go . . . its always new
always a circus , always a zoo
piped up boys with nothin to do . . .
~chorus~
so if you need me , dont go lookin in LA . . .
if you wanna see me , Im not in New York or PA
Im down on telegraph
just tryin to laugh the blues away
~verse~
sweet teens with no bras and too much sun
lying to their mothers , tryin to have some fun
college boys stalkin , yeah , lookin for trim
spending way too much time at the gym . . .
tryin to fit in , theyll never fit in . . .
and these punks with mohawks talkin . . .
can you spare ten cents for a beer ?
theyre probably harmless ,
but blue hair and tongue studs , inspire fear
from the Jabberwock to the Zellerbach
so many feet have paved this street
I can feel it . . . yeah , poetry . . .
they come they go . . . its always new
always a circus , always a zoo
it never changes, I wouldn't want it to . . .
~chorus~
so if you need me , dont go lookin in LA . . .
if you wanna see me, Im not in New York or PA
Im down on telegraph
tryin to laugh the blues away
if you need me , dont go lookin in GA . . .
if you wanna see me, Im not in Austin or OK
Im down on telegraph
tryin to laugh the blues away
