This is a nation that has lost the ability to be self-critical, and that makes a lie out of the freedoms.
But I have a tremendous will to live and a tremendous 'joie de vivre,' alternating with irritability.
I sing my sorrow, and I paint my joy.
In New York, the street adventures are incredible. There are a thousand stories in a single block. You see the stories in the people's faces. You hear the songs immediately. Here in Los Angeles, there are less characters because they're all inside automobiles.

But you're bound to lose If you let the blues get you scared to feel
I want to have fun. I want to shine like the sun. I want to be the one that you want to see. I want to knit you a sweater. I want to write you a love letter. I want to make you feel better. I want to make you feel free.
I remember that time you told me, you said "Love is touching souls." Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.
I remember that time you told me, you said""Love is touching souls."" Surely you touched mine 'Cause part of you pours out of me In these lines from time to time. You're in my blood like holy wine, You taste so bitter and so sweet.

They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot,With a pink hotel,A boutique, and a swinging hot spot.
