Thank you
This next song was written when I was living in a city in Massachusetts
That's not nearly as lovely as Bremen
And it's a very crowded city
And it's a song that I wrote called, "No more pioneers"
Do people in Germany know what pioneers are?
It's pioneers
Okay, I don't know
In America nobody knows anything so
ย
I wonder when the summer started smellin' so bad
He woke up one morning and it seemed that way
He thought of that woman and it got him so mad
Geting that order to keep him away, yeah
ย
There had to be something he could do about this
Then the feeling came on him like a shot
As soon as that woman, really think she is takin'
From me every last thing I got
Tell me, where do we go from here?
Tell me, where do we go from here, yeah
There ain't no more pioneers, no
And the pain is so severe, yeah
ย
His heart is beating as fast as a child's
Those voices from his past, they were calling
They were saying what they always do
Get him more riled but he opens the door and starts falling
Then the call comes through on 911
And they found the apartment, just another day
Then this woman starts screaming that he's got a gun
And he's gonna blow her and her children all away
Where do we go from here?
Tell me, where do we go from here, yeah
There ain't no more pioneers, no
And the pain is so severe, yeah, yeah
ย
Policemen are down in the parking lot
They'll come running when they hear that first shot
They're gonna kick down the door and hear it ring twice
Here's your one last chance to do somethin' nice
Tell me, where do we go from here?
Tell me, where do we go from here, yeah
There ain't no more pioneers, no
And the pain is so severe
ย
Well, I wonder when the summer started
I wonder when the summer started
I wonder when the summer started
Smellin' so bad, baby
I wonder on and on and on and on about it
Oh, yeah
