Althea-Greatful Dead
-(Live At Saenger, New Orleans, LA-9／9／82)
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 back 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
Baby I 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
Oh 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 talking a lot about less and less
And forgetting the love we bring
