when i was two years old in my mother's arms on the malibu bus number three a holy man laid his hand on my head and said i see i see i see this here child she's got two diff'rent eyes one is dark and one is light one looks out at the morning one looks in at the night some see smiles or some see tears some see sun or some see rain but the child who sees both at once is the child who is destined for pain i was just two at the time but i remember him well when i am lost and lonely i look for him in religious books to find his face again to find his face again perhaps i will some time he was hungry and asked for a quarter he was so hungry and asked for a quarter Songtextemy mother gave him a dime he blessed her generous contribution and then he headed for the door and he said i got to transfer now to the bus the bus number four i been down to the depot to look for number four the station master shook his head and said four don't run no more no more no more i ride the malibu bus almost every day but no one's seen or heard of him no one's seen or heard of him (my mother died last may) he had the nicest smile just like a silver star it lit up malibu bus number three but i don't have two diff'rent eyes as far as i can see the right one looks with the body the left one sees with the soul that was the very last thing i heard him say before he took his transfer and was on his way he crossed the road to number four but number four didn't run any more i don't understand sometimes i think he was yellow sometimes i think he was tan and sometimes i think he was a woman a woman dressed as a man and though he was old and ancient and i was less than three would you laugh if i should mention sometimes i think he was me I don't understand Aus Songtexte Mania
