The Joy Of Life Is Made Up

I Have Been Both Praised And Criticized. The Criticism Stung, But The Praise Sometimes Bothered Me Even More. To Have Received Such Praise And Honors Has Always Been Puzzling To Me.

I've Written A Bunch Of Stuff That No One's Ever Heard, And I Don't Know If They Ever Will. I'm Just Doing It For My Own Edification.

Some Folks Like To Get Away Take A Holiday From The Neighborhood. Hop A Flight To Miami Beach Or To Hollywood But I'm Talking A Greyhound On The Hudson River Line. I'm In A New York State Of Mind.

I'm Kind Of Putting My Toe Back In The Water And Seeing How It Feels. We're Going To Be Doing Stuff We Haven't Done For Years And Years And Years. So I'm Looking Forward To Seeing How This Stuff Flies.

I Believe That All Important Matters Have To Be Settled Here, Not In The Clouds Somewhere After We Kick Off.
