Lesson in Survival (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY, 2/23/1972) - Joni Mitchell

Lyrics by：Joni Mitchell

Lesson in survival

Spinning out on turns

That gets you tough

Guru books-the bible

Only a reminder

That you're just not good enough

You need to believe in something

Once I could in our love

Black road

Double yellow line

Friends and kin

Campers in the kitchen

That's fine sometimes

But I know my needs

My sweet tumbleweed

I need more quiet times

By a river flowing

You and me

Deep kisses

And the sun going down

Maybe it's paranoia

Maybe it's sensitivity

Your friends protect you

Scrutinize me

I get so damn timid

Not at all the spirit

That's inside of me

Oh baby I can't seem to make it

With you socially

There's this reef around me

I'm looking way out at the ocean

Love to see that green water in motion

I'm gonna get a boat

And we can row it

If you ever get the notion

To be needed by me

Fresh salmon frying

And the tide rolling in

I went to see a friend tonight

Was very late when I walked in

My talking as it rambled

Revealed suspicious reasoning

The visit seemed to darken him

I came in as bright

As a neon light

And I burned out

Right there before him

I told him these things

I'm telling you now

Watched them buckle up

In his brow

When you dig down deep

You lose good sleep

And it makes you

Heavy company

I will always love you

Hands alike

Magnet and iron

The souls
