Audrey Auld Mezera
BOLINAS

I’m living on the edge of a cliff
Living on the edge of an ocean
The devil is inside my head
I’m troubled by too much emotion
And everyone here is slightly skewed
They’re used to the ghosts and the demons
What about what the Indians said?
By sunset you ought to be leaving

Bolinas
Lost men and angry girls
Bolinas
Slipping off the edge of the world

Now you can conjure Tibet and the 60’s and peace
And dance like a Sufi shaman
Here we are in America
But let me be Australian
I know you’re all fighting for peace
There’d be peace if you just stopped fighting
This is not an unholy place
But it’s on the edge and it’s frightening

Bolinas
Lost men and angry girls
Bolinas
Slipping off the edge of the world

Now the crows are counting the sorrows and joys
Of those getting high on the mesa
Who hide behind flags while they’re counting their spoils
Dancing on dead men’s faces

Bolinas
Lost men and angry girls
Bolinas
Slipping off the edge of the world
Bolinas
Lost in a Boho world
Bolinas
