Playing Possum Lyrics

    (carly simon)

    We lived up here in cambridge
    And browsed in the hippest newsstands
    The we started our own newspaper
    Gave the truth about uncle sam
    We loved to be so radical
    But like a ragged love affair
    Some became disenchanted
    And some of us just got scared

    Now are you playing possum
    Keeping a low profile
    Are you playing possum for a while

    Then you moved to the country
    Bought a farm and tilled the land
    Then you took your books to india
    And got hooked on a holy man
    But the wells they do run dry
    And the speeches turn to words
    And the woods are full of tigers
    And freedom's for the birds

    Now you run a bookstore
    And you've taken on a wife
    You wear patches on your elbows
    And you live an easy life
    But are you finally satisfied
    Is it what you were lookin' for
    Or does it sneak up on you
    That there might be something more
