1
They're wakin' up maria 'cause everybody else has got someplace to go
2
She makes a little motion with her head. rolls over
3
And says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more
4
I said I'm sorry to maria for all the cold hearted things that I
5
have done
6
I said I'm sorry by now at least once to just about everyone
7
She says, I've forgotten what I'm supposed to do today
8
And it slips my mind what I'm supposed to say
9
I'm getting older and older and older
10
And always a little further out of the way
11
You look into her eyes and it's more than your heart will allow
12
In august and everything after, you get a little less than you
13
expected somehow
14
Well I stumbled into washington square just as the sun began to rise
15
And I walked across the lawn to the cathedral
16
And lay down in the shadow of st. Marys in the sky
17
I'm just one of these late model children waiting for the king
18
But there ain't no sign of elvis in san fransisco
19
It's just me, and I'm playing this rock and roll thing
20
She wants to be just like me
21
And I want every damn thing I can see.
22
You know one day you're daddy's little angel,
23
The next day you're everything he wanted you to be
24
They dress you up in white satin
25
And they give you your very own pair of wings
26
In august and everything after, I'm after everything.
27
I said lalalalalalalalalala
28
Well I got my reservations
29
and I got my seven-million dollar home
30
And I got the number of some girl in New York City
31
whos always wide awake
32
so I never have to spend the night alone
33
I got this nasty little habit
34
of peekin down the shirts of all the little girls
35
as they pass me by
36
And I wonder when it all catches up to me
37
and I finally break down now
38
Did you think I was gonna cry?
39
Well I already got my disease
40
So take your fuckin filthy hands off of me
41
Well I hope you dont expect me to be crucified
42
The best that they can do
43
is just hang me from the nearest tree
44
Cause its midnight in San Francisco
45
and Im waiting here for Jesus on my knees
46
In August and everything after
47
I want somebody else to bleed for me
48
I said lalalalalalalalala...
49
Came down from North Dakota
50
Cause I had confidence in the military mind
51
And now everyone I know is turning showgirl
52
and dancing with their shirt off
53
in some Las Vegas hotel line
54
So Im going to New York City
55
Cause it got a little sleazy here for me
56
I'm gonna find myself alone
57
You know I'm never coming home
58
You make the changes the changes that you need
59
But I no longer know how to pray
60
I live in dog town and its a Dalmatian parade
61
And I change my spots over and over
62
but they never seem to fade away
63
I am the last remaining Indian
64
looking for the place where the buffalo roam
65
In August and everything after
66
man them buffalo aint never comin home
67
In August and everything after
68
man them buffalo aint never comin home
69
lalalalalalalalala
