Janis Joplin - I Am Not The Only Cowboy - Текст песни

And it starts like this we crave to be kissed 
by a moment complete in its happiness 
Far away from the things that we wish to escape 
that lead us to think we are not awake 
We are ourselves despite ourselves 
this place gets smaller as the universe swells 
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually. 
I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor 
And I am not the only life guard who's 
washed up on the shore 

CHORUS: Wake me up take me out 
Calm me down when I'm in doubt 
And I'm in doubt 
Everyday 

And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they 
evaporate 
You can choose the truth you can listen to light 
you can lead the charge and still loose the fight 
Far be it for me to claim anything 
for I am just one in a state of being 
I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually 
I am not the only proverb that never really fits 
And I am not the only Caulfield catching more than kids 

CHORUS 

And so it ends as it begins as everything 
that is infinite ascends 
Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last 
You are yourself despite yourself 
this world grows smaller as the universe swells 
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually 
I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write 
And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight 

CHORUS 

And it starts like this we crave to be kissed 
by a moment complete in its happiness 

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
