Layin’ In Bed

Help Me Rhonda
Favorite Line(s):
Well since she put me down
I’ve been out doin’ in my head
I come in late at night
And in the mornin’ I just lay in bed
Well, Rhonda you look so fine
And I know it wouldn’t take much time
For you to help me Rhonda
Help me get her out of my heart
Help me Rhonda
Help, help me Rhonda

Little Deuce Coupe
Favorite Line(s):
Well, I’m not braggin’, babe,
So don’t put me down

She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got

In My Room

You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, when you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes to you.  This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be.  This is the place of creative incubation.  At first, you may find that nothing happens there.  But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen.
