1
Oh, great intentions
2
I've got the best of interventions
3
But when the ads come
4
I think about it now
5
In my infliction
6
Entrepreneurial conditions
7
Take us to glory
8
I think about it now
9
Cannot conversations cull united nations?
10
If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients
11
Cannot all creation call it celebration?
12
Or united nation, put it to your head
13
Oh, great white city
14
I've got the adequate committee
15
Where have your walls gone?
16
I think about it now
17
Chicago, in fashion, the soft drinks, expansion
18
Oh, Columbia
19
From Paris, incentive, like Cream of Wheat invented
20
The Ferris Wheel
21
Oh, great intentions
22
Covenant with the imitation
23
Have you no conscience?
24
I think about it now
25
Oh, God of Progress
26
Have you degraded or forgot us?
27
Where have your laws gone?
28
I think about it now
29
Ancient hieroglyphic or the South Pacific
30
Typically terrific, busy and prolific
31
Classical devotion, architect promotion
32
Lacking in emotion think about it now
33
Chicago, the New Age, but what would Frank Lloyd Wright say?
34
Oh, Columbia
35
Amusement or treasure, these optimistic pleasures
36
Like the Ferris Wheel
37
Cannot conversations cull united nations?
38
If you got the patience, celebrate the ancients

Columbia

I cried myself to sleep last night
41
And the ghost of Carl, he approached my window
42
I was hypnotized, I was asked
43
To improvise on the attitude, the regret of a thousand centuries of death
44
Even with the heart of terror and the superstitious wearer
45
I am riding all alone, I am writing all alone
46
Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition
47
I am riding all alone, I am running all alone
48
And we laughed at the beatitudes of a thousand lines
49
We were asked at the attitudes they reminded us of death
50
Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
51
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?
52
Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
53
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?
54
And I cried myself to sleep last night
55
For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me
56
Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated
57
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?
58
Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level
59
Are you writing from the heart? Are you writing from the heart?
