SIDE B from Caddy-Shack by John Gold

Lyrics:

07. Lost Like You

Always moving but nowhere to go
Always changing but nothing to show

I was young once too
I was young like you

You’re always speaking
But why can’t I hear you though?
Always growing
But wearing the same clothes

I was lost once too
I was lost like you

Till I was found by You
I was found by You
My fountain of Youth



08. Lake Michigan (I Wear My Crown)


As kids in summer we’d
Ride our bikes to the forge
And throw ourselves in
Neither brave nor innocent

With our clothes on an
Unspoken bond
You were my blood
I since gave up

And in the fall sky is
dark and the wheat grain it
Blows in wind
Like i'm sometimes known to bend
Checkered pockets and
Dirty water
Lake Michigan
We both jump the fence

And swim

What’s to say of this?
It’s been a long time since…
What’s to say of this?
It’s been a long time since…

You got married and
I dropped out in the winter
I had to keep warm
Sometimes it does more good than harm
Now an alcoholic not
Apostolic at all
I wear my crown
But I’m not fighting now

I found God in a
Parking lot
On the way to Tennessee
And then suddenly I speak
I throw out the last of my
Day old vodka
And venomously seize
This life you gave to me

For free

What’s to say of this?
It’s been a long time since…
I feel like I’m missed
It’s been a long time since…

What’s to say of these
Awful things?
They could be a seed
Of a life redeemed…

I wear my crown
I wear my crown
I wear my crown
But I’m not fighting now
I wear your crown
I wear your crown
I wear your crown
I can’t fight you now



09. Mental Illness

You say small hope can save a soul
But I don’t believe
In the warning signs
Of a wide wicked mind
Let it die don’t keep it in

Lock me up in chains
Still I’ll be in awe of
God’s amazing grace

But I don’t hear you say
Exactly what I want to hear
It just blows a figure 8
And leaves through the other ear

Shall I change or shall I stay the same
Well God only knows
What I want and need
Are they separate things?
Darlin’ I’m indisposed

All I know’s one thing
All of this will surely pass away

Oh but my mind won’t do
Exactly what I want it to
All I need's to hear your voice
Then I will have my proof

It was you it was
Always you

“Why does your mental illness
come and then it goes?
Last I checked an imbalance
doesn’t have a mind of It’s own!”

“And I deserve happiness
Just the same as you
Why do you let your suffering
Have power to control you?”

All right!

I want you



10. Maggie

Heart like the wind
Wrap yourself up tightly
Now you’re not scared
you’re just scared
that you’re scared

You smile subtly
Something I have never been
Innocent
In no sense
Innocent

Just waiting to be free
Hallelujah
Repetition

Don’t change for me
You’re beautiful
Don’t change at all
You’re beautiful to me
Just the way you are

Come to the dance
Hold your hand out to receive
Anything, everything, any thing
I sorted through old photographs
My face
It has changed
Never age!
Put on immortality

I want you
To be free
From all this foolish
Superstition

Don’t hate your soul
You’re beautiful
Don’t lose control
You’re beautiful
Just the way you are

You are the one I adore
You are the one I adore
Right now and forever more



11. Mouth Like Moses

Terror reaching down
I won’t hang around
Heart that’s lost and found
Please don’t fail me now

Please don’t let me down
I want you around

Mind that’s gone astray
You can’t think that way
The words fall asleep in my mouth
Like Moses in hand me downs

Nose up barrel down
Wake up in the south

God ain’t in the ground
Plant seeds
What will abound?
All that’s thats come to say is
Be one company
Love all love today
Love all love you say

Joshua I will eat your flesh
Joshua I will drink your blood
Joshua I will cleanse the sick
Joshua I will raise the dead



12. MISSISSIPPI

Load the car and take a hike
Down an empty highway late at night

Where my mind keeps spitting awful scenes
Like flashes on a tv screen

I could drive you anywhere
We’ll start with “wild” end up “who cares”

I’ve got baggage we all do
It’s too heavy to lift for you

You’ll change your mind
It’s just as well
I’m lost in thought
Locked in a cell
You’ll run away
But I will beat you there
Yeah I won’t misplace you

You come to me “comme si comme sa”
In a white tee shirt with your pants off

But when I ask to graze your fleeting thoughts
you just zip your lips and let your eyes trail off

I could be your miracle!
Are we there yet? Or no where close
No mascara nor fake tattoo
Can really up and change you

You’ll change your mind
It never fails
I’m still at large
Locked in this jail
I’ll find a way
But I won’t keep you here
I don’t wanna change you

I’m uncomfortable
With this lack of self control
I’m not comfortable
With me

I’m uncomfortable
You wanna make me sell my soul
I’m not comfortable
With you

Make up your mind
And lift the veil
Come break me out
Or pay my bail
I want to know
What is your deepest fear
Then I want to save you

I wanna save you, I wanna save you…
