Lyrics

Looking for Lewis and Clark
 
I thought I saw some diplomat hawking secret plans in the park
I thought I saw some citizen walking through a minefield late after dark
In a world of love where it burns like Nero
You bounce a fat check and they call you a hero
In a world of love where it burns like Nero
You bounce a check and you’re called a hero
Looking for Lewis and Clark
 
I was standing alone in the Public Garden
I was thinking about the late Tim Hardin
Well when Tim got to heaven he was on the lam
From a kind of world he didn’t understand
No one gave Tim reason to believe
So he just packed his bags to leave
Looking for Lewis and Clark
He was looking for Lewis and Clark
 
I thought I saw my government running away with my heart
I thought I heard the national anthem sung badly at Fenway Park
In his tangled web does the master deceive
Only himself while the rest of us grieve
Looking for Lewis and Clark
Looking for Lewis and Clark
Looking for Lewis and Clark
 
I said Louie Louie Louie Louie Lou
 
Looking for Lewis and Clark
