You know, I smoked a lot of grass
Oh, Lord, I popped a lot of pills
But I've never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
If you live or if you die
God damn
The pusher
God damn
Hey, hey, I say the pusher
I said, God damn
God damn the pusher man
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of the guns at once and
Explode info space
I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of the guns at once and
Explode info space
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
And never wanna die
Born to be wild
Hey, you got a room?
Hey, man!
You got a room?
You asshole!
I'm goin' down to Mardi Gras I'm gonna get me a Mardi Gras queen
Oh, man. Wow, Mardi Gras, man.
That's gonna be the weirdest, man.
You know what we ought to do first thing, man?
Go and get us a groovy dinner.
Break out some of that cash, man.
Out here in the wilderness, fighting Indians and cowboys on every side.
What's the matter? You zonked? You really zoaned?
No, I'm just kinda tired, man.
Oh, man, you're pulling inside.
You're getting a little distance tonight.
You're getting a little distance, baby.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just getting my thing together.
Yeah, right.
Come on. It's check-out time.
Hey. Billy.
Oh, man, don't do that.
Howdy.
What can I do for you?
I'd like to fix my flat, if you don't mind.
No, I don't mind.
Just get in the barn. You'll find the tools you'll need.
Whoa, baby. Whoa, honey.
Turn that thing off. You're making my horse skittish.
That sure is a good-looking machine.
Yeah.
There you go.
You fellas can sit down here.
Would you mind taking off your hat?
We thank Thee, O Lord, for these, Thy gifts...
received from Thy bounty...
in the name of Thy only begotten son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Where you fellas from?
L.A.
Los Angeles.
Is that a fact?
When I was young...
I was headed for California, but...
Well, you know how it is.
Well, you sure got a nice spread here.
Sure got a lot of 'em.
My wife is Catholic, you know.
Honey, could we have some more coffee?
No, I mean it. You've got a nice place.
It's not every man that can live off the land.
You do your own thing in your own time. You should be proud.
Well, I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the frees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of
And when if's time I'll go and waif
Beside a legendary fountain
Till I see the form reflected
In its clear and jeweled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow info one another
I will want to dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead
She may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I learned
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow
Hey, man, what are you doing?
I gotta talk to you, man.
Everything we ever dreamed of is in that teardrop gas tank...
and you got a stranger over there pouring gasoline all over it.
All he's gotta do is look into it and he can see that...
He won't know what it is, man.
Don't worry, Billy. Everything's all right.
All right, all right. I don't know, man.
I do.
Everything's fine, Billy.
- Well... - That's all taken care of.
I like that.
I pulled in to Nazareth
Was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand
"No" was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil
Walkin' side by side
I said, Hey, Carmen
Come on, let's go downtown
She said, I gotta go
But my friend can stick around
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
Yeah
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
- How much further we gotta go, man? - I don't know.
Not much further.
That's what you said this morning.
I sometimes say it all day.
Really? You say it all day, huh?
We don't have much longer. We'll be there soon.
We gotta get to Mardi Gras, man. We're going to Mardi Gras.
Little heart is set on that, huh?
We got a week.
That's a week away, man.
It's a long way to Mardi Gras, baby.
It won't take us a week to get to New Orleans.
Wow.
I think I'm gonna crash.
I think you have crashed, man.
I keep seeing things jumping all over the place.
- Really? - Yeah, look.
- What is it? - It's a moth.
- A what? - Moth.
Bug.
It's a weird place, man.
Oh, man. That smoke's getting to me.
But I notice you're not moving.
Where you from, man?
Can I have a light?
Where you from, man?
Hard to say.
"Hard to say"? Where you from, man?
It's hard to say because it's a very long word, you know.
I just wanna know where you're from, man.
A city.
What city?
Doesn't make any difference what city. All cities are alike.
That's why I'm out here now.
Why you're out here now? Why?
'Cause I'm a long way from the city, and that's where I wanna be right now.
They know you in this place?
This place we're coming to?
Or the place we're at now?
This place.
You're right on top of 'em.
- I'm right on top of 'em? - Yeah.
The people this place belongs to are buried right under you.
You could be a trifle polite.
"A trifle polite"?
A small thing to ask.
You ever want to be somebody else?
I'd like to try Porky Pig.
I never wanted to be anybody else.
You can't hit me! I'm invisible! I'm invisible!
Hey, Sarah.
How's it going?
Rudolph, what are you eating?
- Thanks for the stuff you brought. - How's it going?
We just can't take any more strangers. Just too many people dropping in.
I'm not talking about you and your friends... you know that.
The week before, Susan dropped in with 12 people from Easter City.
She wanted to take ten pounds of rice with her.
Naturally we had to say no...
so she gets all uptight, breaks out some hash and won't give us any.
That's not all. The next morning they couldn't get their bus started.
Sarah, I bet you haven't had anybody like me around to rap to, have you?
I don't have to tell you how it is, Sarah.
I love you, and I want you to rap.
- Oh, God, I want you to rap, rap, rap. - Cut that out!
I guess nobody else here is interested, but I'd sure like to meet your friend.
I bet you'd like to do more than that.
I think he's beautiful.
He's beautiful.
What is that weird thing up there on the hill, man?
It looks like a stage. You got light opera coming here or something?
That's the mime troupe's stage.
They've gone down to the hot springs to bathe.
Mime troupe?
Hey, Lisa. What does this mean?
"Starting brings misfortune.
Perseverance brings danger.
Not every demand for change in the existing order should be heeded.
On the other hand, repeated and well-founded complaints...
should not fail to a hearing."
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!
We've come to play for our dinner.
Or should I say, stay for our dinner?
Or even...
slay for our dinner!
Oh! Men at war. How ghastly.
We've come to drink your wine...
taste your food and take pleasure in your women.
The water in that river is about 80 degrees.
You put your hand in about a foot away, it's below freezing.
- Come on! I've got to get dinner on! - What's this I hear?
Who said "out" to me?
Pardon me! I've played communes all...
Out! Out! Out!
The evil eye on this place! A double whammy for all of you!
- When you lie with dogs, you get fleas. - Come, my dear.
We won't play here.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
Get out.
I like you.
What happened here is, these people got here late in the summer.
Too late to plant.
But the weather was beautiful, it was easy living, everything was fine.
Then came that winter.
Forty or fifty of them living in this one-room place down here.
Nothing to eat. Starving. Out by the road looking for dead horses.
Anything they could get ahold of.
There's 18 or 20 of them left, and they're city kids... look at them.
But they're getting this crop in...
and they're gonna stay here till it's harvested.
Do you get much rain here, man?
I guess we're gonna have to dance for that.
Look at this, man. A seashell, man.
See that?
This is nothing but sand. They ain't gonna grow anything here.
They're gonna make it.
Dig, man.
They're gonna make it.
We have planted our seeds.
We ask...
that our efforts be worthy...
to produce simple food...
for our simple taste.
We ask that our efforts...
be rewarded.
We thank You for the food we eat from other hands...
that we may share it with our fellow man...
and be even more generous...
when it is from our own.
Thank You for a place...
to make a stand.
Amen.
Let's eat.
Ah, hark, ye gentles! Hark, ye all!
The time has come for a curtain call.
How do you wear your hair Does your hair hang low
Do you tie if in a ribbon Do you tie if in a bow
Do you wear it over your shoulder like a Continental soldier
Does your hair hang low
Are you an Aquarius?
Pisces?
I guessed right.
Do you like our place here?
Yeah.
We will kill the old red rooster
when she comes
We'll all go to greet her when she comes
We will all have chicken and dumplings when she comes
Who sent you?
Does your hair hang low
Do you tie if in a ribbon Do you tie if in a bow
Do you throw it over your shoulder like a Continental soldier
Does your hair hang low
Look, I gotta get out of here, man.
We got things we wanna do, man.
I gotta get out of here, man.
Could you take me and my friend over across the canyon?
Yeah, anything.
It won't be out of your way. Honest.
It's all right.
We're not no travelin' bureau. Why don't they get their own ride?
We're eating their food.
All right.
- Get 'em together, though, man. - Right.
More water! More water!
Well, I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the frees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no one knows the names of
And when if's time I'll go and waif
Beside a legendary fountain
Till I see the form reflected
In its clear and jeweled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow info one another
I will want to dive beneath
The white cascading wafers
She may beg, she may plead
She may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I learned
That really have no value
In the end, she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow
When you get to the right place with the right people...
quarter this.
You know, this could be the right place.
Your time's running out.
If we're going, let's go!
Yeah.
I'm hip about time.
But I gotta go.
"Parading without a permit"? You gotta be kidding!
Do you know who this is? This is Captain America! I'm Billy!
Hey, we're headliners, baby!
We played every fair in this part of the country, and for top dollar too!
