Slapstick Heart
painted smile but I don't feel the part
in dream I hold your kinfe over my heart
the edge is higher the closer I get
when I jump you move the net
I keep falling for this slapstick heart
hanging on your words
I thought I'd known
the rope is cut and I'm falling on my own
the comedy in the tragic disbelief
of only human
to make you laugh is there nothing I won't do
any pain I won't go through
lost my balance fell like rain
I half expected you to do the same
but you cried an ocean and broke my fall
that's when I knew I couldn't swim at all

words and music by Arlo Guthrie
There's trouble all around the world
Well, it looks that way to me
People don't know what to do
They don't know where they should be
But just one question still remains
To which we must respond
Two roads lead from where we are
Which side are you on
CHORUS:
Are you on, boys
Which side are you on
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on
Moses crossed the desert
With a band of weary men
For forty years they wandered through
The hot and burning sand
And Moses went and prayed alone
There's trouble all around the world
Well, it looks that way to me
People don't know what to do
They don't know where they should be
But just one question still remains
To which we must respond
Two roads lead from where we are
Which side are you on
CHORUS:
Are you on, boys
Which side are you on
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on
Moses crossed the desert
With a band of weary men
For forty years they wandered through
The hot and burning sand
And Moses went and prayed alone
