Althea (Live in Springfield, MA, September 3, 1980) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

I told Althea I was feeling lost

Lacking in some direction

Althea told me upon scrutiny that my back might need protection

I told Althea that treachery was tearing me limb from limb

Althea told me better cool down boy

Settle down easy Jim

You may be Saturday's child all alone

Moving with a tinge of grace

You may be a clown in the burying ground

Or just another pretty face

You may meet the fate on Ophelia

Sleeping and penchence to dream

Honest to the point of recklessness

Self centered in the extreme

Ain't nobody messing with you but you

Your friends are getting most concerned

Loose with the truth baby it's your fire

But baby I hope you don't get burned

When the smoke has cleared she said

That's what she said to me

Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy

There are things you can replace and others you cannot

The time has come to weigh those things

This space is getting hot

You know this space is getting hot

I told Althea I'm a roving son

I was born to be a bachelor

Althea told me okay that's fine

You know I'm trying to catch her

Can't talk to you without talking to me

We're guilty of the same old thing

Been getting a lot about less and less

And forgetting the love we bring
