There's this way, and then there's yours
There are other ways, to be sure
for all that you can tell
There's always someone sure
to be around when all is o'er

Sad little Molly
All she ever wanted
Was the prettiest bird
in the whole of the world
Alone with her dolly
she cried to herself
she longed for the call
of the prettiest bird
in all the world

This Way That

with Jean Arthur and Jimmy Stewart from "You Can't Take It With You" (1938)

Why won't somebody make me their scene?
Why would somebody wanna be like me?
Ooooh, yeah,
It's only radical if it goes both ways

You said it didn't matter
when you know it did
You said what was to be
might as well be what it is
I said it didn't matter
when you know it did
I saw what was coming
so I ran and hid

Goes Both Ways

It was almost everything
It was almost everything it could be
Try and make nothing from everything
Try and make nothing from everything
You see
You will see
The nothing in everything

Nothing From Everything

Rain
and how it falls
so light on me
And how it calls
reaches down to me

It's hard
fallen cars
halter top
I don't even know
All the while
it resides
in the mire
ready to go

Down
down to Florida
where the humans wither in the breeze
And on over to Texas
across the Gulf
with ease

I still remember
Always remember
I still remember
Always remember
The look the look the look the look the look
The look the look the look the look the look
Ooooh

The Look

Sinking in the quicksand
Buried in an avalanche
Shaking with the earthquake
Looking for a way out of range
All that happens
is a lemonade of illusion
Come check it out
The wolf is knocking down the door

Come see
see for
Come see
see for
yourself

Come See

If I had all the gold that was buried
Surely I would not be left in want
I can see we are so free and so merry
I see the trouble I've been hunting down

All that appears to be calling
Each of us to our own holy show
Will neither lift us nor leave us for falling
Until the dust tells us to get up and go

I've got this feeling
you'll go far
farther than the eye can see
and you'll go hard

You were my very best friend
From the beginning to the end

Until The Dust

I hear computers are in fashion these days
All kinds of reasons, so many ways
All the right numbers, all the right plays
To the computers we are all as slaves

Siri, I'm in love with a stranger
Siri, is there any other way
for me to be
in love without danger?
Or,
must I be as lion?

A headless ghost
A body that shows
the meaning of lies
of all the lies

A shouting host
and the heartless ghost
The meaning of it
all lies
all the lies

Mirror shows, in mirror time
he lies
Mirror shows, in mirror time
the meaning of lies

Don't be alarmed, baby
when I go outside in the snow
I'm about
falling down
apologizin' to everyone
