Newspaper face against the ground
Phantom bus pass through violet town
On its way through the yellow fields
Past the graying fences
When I'm here I have this feeling
I don't want to know
Inviolate town
Big trees throw shade that falls around
The empty streets of violet town
Gardeners the houses stand
And eyes in windows, strange...
Big truth progresses never to be found
I walk the corners straight to violet town
And I tell you sometimes when we're old
Of the useless boy and his dream
Phantom bus pass through violet town
On its way through the yellow fields
Past the graying fences
When I'm here I have this feeling

Inviolate town
Big trees throw shade that falls around
The empty streets of violet town
Gardeners the houses stand
And eyes in windows, strange...
Big truth progresses never to be found
I walk the corners straight to violet town

I Dont Want To Make History
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE HISTORY
Hal Kemp
Columbus took a chance
And I would take a chance
As long as there's a moon up above
But I don't want to make history
I just want to make love
Napoleon took a chance
But when I think of France
It's Josephine that I'm thinking of
Cause I don't want to make history
I just want to make love
We all can't be heroes
We all can't be great
Right now I'll settle for a love affair,
And the dickens with affairs of state
I hear a call to arms
But sentimental arms
My banner is the moon up above
For I don't want to make history
I just want to make love
