37 and you're knocking at the door
Away from home searching for the great unknown
Characters are talking from the
Recesses of your soul, your soul
Started back 'round the turn of the century
Readin' books, stealin' looks from Old Kentucky
Your momma's love, your brother's dove
In the cemetery, with the family
A stone, a leaf, a door
Sing of Altamont some more
Inside this pleasure dome
Dreams of Kublai Khan and home
On a train, on the railroad of your mind
Can't go home, you're alone, in the wet grey sky
Missin' faces in these places in a NY state of mind, your mind
Daddy's ghost is speaking Shakespeare in the dark again
Roarin' fire where a chisel and a bottle'd been
But they say, that you can't, you can't go home again, home again
A stone, a leaf, a door
Sing of Altamont some more
Inside this pleasure dome
Dreams of Kublai Khan and home
Wanderin' fast, see the sands of time wear thin
Between your toes in Seattle as the story goes
A final train ride on a gurney to the Baltimore of Poe, you know
37 and you're knocking at the door
Away from home searching for the great unknown
Characters are talking from the recesses of your soul
A stone, a leaf, a door
Sing of Altamont some more
Inside this pleasure dome
Dreams of Kublai Khan and home
