Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard - Paul Simon

Moving in and out of the shadow It's no easy mission Holding on to how I picture you Showing only bits and pieces Till the light betrayed you and your empty allocution Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of it Searching your eyes for humility Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace I'm still searching, searching Showing all the bits and pieces Till the tide betrayed you and your empty allocution Float the Piper by and down the river Carcass crippled underneath the pounding waves of adoration Pied Piper, float on down the river Bloated carcass crippled me, the weight of adoration I'm moving in and out of the shadows It's no easy mission, holding on to how I picture you

I wasn't born in the morning, no I must have been born in the night I've done my load and I'll carry my load And all I own is my life I wasn't born to be lucky 'Cause luck had no future with me I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song And stand beneath the hanging tree Bury me down by the river Let all the towns people see Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay my head Just put me down and set me free I wasn't born as a rich man, no A rich man I never, I never could be I've done my wrong and I'll sing, sing, sing my song And stand beneath the hanging tree (Everybody sing now) Bury me down by the river, lord no Let all the towns people see, see Their enemy's dead, let me lay, lay, lay my head Just put me down and set me free (I want to hear everybody sing) Bury me down by the river Let all the towns, let all the towns people see Their enemy's dead, let me lay, let met lay, let me lay my head along Just put me down and set me free (set me free)
