1
They're wakin' up Maria 'cause everybody else has got some place to go
2
She makes a little motion with her head,
3
Rolls over,
4
And she says she's gonna sleep for a couple minutes more
5
I've said "I'm sorry" to Maria for the cold hearted thing that I have done
6
I've 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
We're 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 expected, somehow...
13
I stumbled into Washington Square just as the sun began to rise
14
I lay down on the lawn of the cathedral
15
Right down with the shadow of St. Mary's in the sky
16
And I'm just one of these late model children waiting for the king
17
Yeah, but there ain't no sign of Elvis in San Fransisco
18
It's just me, and I'm playing this rock and roll thing
19
And She wants to be just like me
20
And I want every damn thing I can see.
21
One day you're Daddy's little angel,
22
The next day you're everything he wanted you to be
23
They dress you up in white satin
24
And they give you your very own pair of wings
25
In August and Everything After, I'm after everything.
26
I said and la la la la...
27
Well now I got my reservations and I got my seven million-dollar home
28
And I got, I got the number of some girl in New York City
29
Who's always wide awake so I never have to spend the night alone
30
I got this nasty little habit of peeking down the shirts
31
Of all the little girls as they pass me by
32
And I wonder if it all catches up to me
33
Do you think they'll take me down?
34
Do you think I'm gonna cry?
35
Well, I've already got your disease,
36
So take your fucking filthy hands off of me
37
Well I hope you weren't expecting me to be crucified,
38
The best that they can do is just to hang me from the nearest tree
39
It's midnight in san francisco,
40
and I am waiting here for jesus on my knees
41
in august and everything after
42
I want somebody else to bleed for me
43
I said la la la la... Na na....
44
Well I came down from north dakota
45
'cause I had confidence in the military mind
46
and now, everyone I know is turning show girl
47
and is dancing with their shirt off in some las vegas hotel line
48
so I'm going to new york city 'cause it gotta little sleazy here for me
49
when I find myself alone I know I'm never going home
50
I make the changes the changes that I need
51
but I no longer know how to pray
52
and I'm living in A dog town and it's A dalmation parade
53
I change my spots, over and over
54
but they never seem to fade away
55
now I am the last remaining indian
56
looking for the place where the buffalo roam
57
in august and everything after, man them buffalo ain't never coming home
58
I said in august and everything after, man them buffalo ain't never coming home
59
I said na na... La la...
