[Charles Bukowski - Air and Light and Time and Space lyrics]
" you know, I’ve either had a family, a job
Something has always been in the way
But now i’ve sold my house, I’ve found this
Place, a large studio
You should see the space and the light
For the first time in my
Life I’m going to have
A place and the time to create"
No baby, if you’re going to create
You’re going to create whether you work
16 hours a day in a coal mine or
You’re going to create in a
Small room with 3 children while you’re on
Welfare, You’re going to create with part of
Your mind and your body blown away
You’re going to create blind crippled
Demented, You’re going to create with a
Cat crawling up your back while
The whole city trembles
In earthquake, bombardment, Flood and fire
Baby, air and light and time and space
Have nothing to do with it
And don’t create anything
Except maybe a longer life to find
New excuses for
Something has always been in the way
But now i’ve sold my house, I’ve found this
Place, a large studio
You should see the space and the light
For the first time in my
Life I’m going to have
A place and the time to create"
No baby, if you’re going to create
You’re going to create whether you work
16 hours a day in a coal mine or
You’re going to create in a
Small room with 3 children while you’re on
Welfare, You’re going to create with part of
Your mind and your body blown away
You’re going to create blind crippled
Demented, You’re going to create with a
Cat crawling up your back while
The whole city trembles
In earthquake, bombardment, Flood and fire
Baby, air and light and time and space
Have nothing to do with it
And don’t create anything
Except maybe a longer life to find
New excuses for
