[chorus: guests]
soul train unchained
all set: u-bet
in frame i claim sunset
we’ve met

[dennis cleveland]
i was walkin’ on the earth
the planet earth was blue
i was sittin’ by the road
by the road’s where i met you

your ideas were kinda strange-
‘made me think of flying trees
i declared my love for you;
i got down on my knees

we set out for destiny:
the place where all ends meet
we were gassing up the car
we were caught up in the heat

and down the road appeared a light
it was a blinding sort of thing
and both our hearts began to swell
i thought i heard the angels sing:
[guests]
i’m glad if you’re glad
i’m sad if you’re sad
i’m glad if you’re glad
i’m sad if you’re sad

[guest #1]
it was a simple kind of verse
not profound in any way
but as i tried to catch your eye
your mirage began to sway

and i thought: how can it be
that a mindless sort of phrase
could encourage this response…
could put this woman in a daze?

she said, “baby can’t you see
that our meeting wasn’t chance?
that by sitting by the road
you were waiting for this dance

“and the power of suggestion
in this moment, on this day
is the way we make religion:
how we make up what to pray.”
who’d’ve thought i’d find a meaning
on the road and all alone
think: a group of lonely people
create a king, create a throne

i live, i live for the moment
uptight, uptight for the moment
lonely, lonely for the moment
only, only for the moment

[audience member #1]
this time last year
i was into a twenty year old experience
and i often think about her
now, this girl was really beautiful
and also very bright
and i swear to god
i thought she was at least as old
as the current girl i was being unfaithful to
(26)

we get to talking and i find out
she’s just turned twenty
and some type of alarm should be going off
but it isn’t
we make a date for breakfast
this is my favorite time to meet people
when i show up her legs are so long
that they pour out of the booth
and onto the floor
and an alarm should be going off
but it isn’t
the mornings i’ve spent at this coffee shop meeting people

we chat and make a date for that evening
and as we say goodbye
i tell her that she’s fun to look at
i take her to my favorite bar

which is a slightly redone version
of the original bar. she mistakes the rolling stones for
a more recent aberration
and an alarm…

we end up at my place after a brief stop
back at home i don’t even know how
this topic comes up
but somehow it surfaces that she’s a virgin
and we have a great laugh about it
until i realize she’s not joking

like most great american myths i haven’t bought into
this virgin idea is no great shake
but now i’m starting to feel anxious
and i couldn’t have known why
but what happened later is remarkable

her parents want to meet me
well, i never even did something like that
when i was her age
but it’s clear that this isn’t
an unreasonable idea
besides, her folks are really progressive
they’re also really loaded
they own their own building
i think they made their fortune
from being in on the ground floor
of some fossil fuel development

anyway, like i said
they’re very liberal in that new york way
that you can’t totally trust
it’s only on the day that we’re supposed to meet
that i find out that they’re leaving town for the weekend
and are expecting that the de-flowering of their daughter
will take place on the premises
all they expect is to meet me and make sure
i’m not some madman from missouri
all in all, pretty progressive

[guests]
i claim sunset audience members:
we’ve met
soul train unchained we’ve met
all set: u-bet soul train unchained
in frame i claim all set: u-bet
sunset we’ve met in frame i claim
soul train unchained sunset we’ve met sunset we’ve met
all set: u-bet soul train unchained soul train unchained
