Quotes about hobo, page 2
Hobo
Hobo of the night
Drinking your 'Lightning White'
Avoiding park bench frostbite.
Long finished crying
-Diminished
And slowly dying
Within his shell
What special hell
- A drunken song can tell.
Look into his eyes
Take your heart out of disguise
And realise
It could be you.
Strangers
Yet we walk the same road
- We do.
Hobo plays the blues at dusk
Pouring his heart
Outside the Mart.
Self medication

Modern Day Hobo
i've been walking this old road
for too damned long.
i know every turn,
and every sign.
i've fallen, got back up,
i know every puddle, every stone.
i've searched every alley,
i've paid the cost by time.
a modern day hobo,
a drifter, a singer, and a fool.
a friend to the end,
a crutch and a tool.
my wings are dirty,
and my heart paid the debt.
the feeling you remember,
i'm the face you forget...
i've climbed your mountains,
i've crossed your rivers.

Sein uber Zeit
Rule the rulers flat lines of the brow
Hyper geometry in numero stones
Washed away numbers within a scarecrow
Compasses throne in spine and bones
Rule rage rule fear rule yes but not me
Rule global lobo rule multi hobo
Sein aber Zeit Sein uber Zeit
Sein uber Zeit I see
I ain’t no subject
I ain’t no object
I’m jellyfish free
No –ject at all
You cannot place
I’m neither big nor small
Rule sages rule over stages
Rule yes but morn is young
The sins of yin in burnts of yang

Jazz and The Hobo
It was a Saturday morning
And you were 19
and you were racing along
Victoria Street having just left
Victoria Railway Station
on your way to Dobell's
Jazz Record Shop
moving quickly
through the sea
of humanity
thinking of jazz
and what record
you were going to buy
at the shop that day

Lonely Hobo Lullaby
(sylvester / clarke)
Heading out on my way to nowhere
Just a traveling man
Hitching rides along the highway
From whoever I can
Gotta stop someplace somewhere
And put some leather on my shoes
Theyre the only pair that get me there
Any horizon that I choose
I know when the cold wind blows
My coat will keep me warm
Ive got no womans love
To call my own
I saw you lying there
A cast-off from another man
So I picked you up took you home
And home is on my back
Lonely hobo lullaby is my song
Lonely hobo lullaby gets me along
My shoes my coat my jeans

Papa Hobo
Words & music by paul simon
Mm------
Its carbon and monoxide
The ole detroit perfume
It hangs on the highways
In the morning
And it lays you down by noon
Oh papa hobo
You can see that Im dressed like a schoolboy
But I feel like a clown
Its a natural reaction I learned
In this basketball town
Sweep up
I been sweeping up the tips Ive made
Im living on gatorade
Planning my getaway
Detroit, detroit
Got a hell of a hockey team
Got a left-handed way
Of making a man sign up on that

Downtown Sundown
If you want your freedom
There is nothing planned
If you really need him
I will understand
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And hes coming, yes hes coming
If you want to fly
Then fly away
All the cloudy skies
Belong to yesterday
Please believe in love
I believe there is a God above
For love
And hes coming, yes hes coming
In the shadows the swallow dies
No one knows the hobo hides
There is no need to apologize
This is the story of a downtown sundown

Who's Groove
Robo who, robo gone, robo what, robo one
Robo where, robo never, robo why, robo clever
Robo hi, robo ho in the sky, robo no
Robo who, robo gone, robo what, robo one
Robo where, robo never, robo why, robo clever
Robo hi, robo ho in the sky, robo no
Waiting for the robo
I'm a universal hobo
I'm a skinny little creature
Will he turn into a feature
Only visiting the planet
That i'm pushing to a circle
Only robo makes me rub it all (?)
The walls where it begun (?)
Visiting your planet
For a few thousand days
Nothing to hide
No reason to stay
Breathless at the end of my run
It all ends where it begun
