(A)
The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)
Lyrics: Grateful Dead
Music: Grateful Dead
See that girl barefooting along
Whistling and singing, she's a-carrying on
Got laughing in her eyes, dancing in her feet
She's a neon light diamond, she can live on the street
Chorus
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day
Hey, hey, come right away
Come and join the party every day
Well, everybody's dancing in a ring around the sun
Nobody's finished, we ain't even begun
So take off your shoes, child, and take off your hat
Try on your wings and find out where it's at
[chorus]
Take a vacation, fall out for a while
Summer's coming in and it's going outa style
Well, lie down smoking, honey, have yourself a ball
'Cause your mother's down in Memphis, won't be back till the fall
[chorus]
(B)
Cream Puff War
Lyrics: Jerry Garcia
Music: Jerry Garcia
I know it's just another trick she's got up her sleeve
I can't believe that she really wants you to die
After all, it's more than enough to pay for your lie
Chorus (note 1)
Wait a minute, watch what you're doing with your time
All the endless ruins of the past must stay behind, yeah
Well, can't you see that you're killing each other's soul
You're both out in the streets and you got no place to go
Your constant battles are getting to be a bore
So go somewhere else and continue your cream puff war
[chorus]
