Lesson in Survival Lyrics

Lesson in survival spinning out on turns That gets you tough Guru books, the bible, only a reminder That you're just not good enough You need to believe in something Once I could in our love
Black road, double yellow line Friends and kin, campers in the kitchen That's fine sometimes but I know my needs My sweet tumbleweed, I need more quiet times By a river flowing, you and me Deep kisses and the sun going down
Maybe it's paranoia, maybe it's sensitivity Your friends protect you, scrutinize me I get so damn timid Not at all the spirit that's inside of me Oh baby, I can't seem to make it with you socially There's this reef around me
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lesson-in-survival-lyrics-joni-mitchell.html ] I'm looking way out at the ocean Love to see that green water in motion I'm going to get a boat and we can row it If you ever get the notion to be needed by me Fresh salmon frying and the tide rolling in
I went to see a friend tonight Was very late when I walked in My talking as it rambled revealed suspicious reasoning The visit seemed to darken him I came in as bright as a neon light And I burned out right there before him
I told him these things I'm telling you now Watched them buckle up in his brow When you dig down deep you lose good sleep And it makes you heavy company I will always love you, hands alike Magnet and iron the souls
