Neil Young
Sugar Mountain (Live Carnegie Hall 1970)
[False start #1]
[Intro]
(You can all sing along on this song if you want, 'cause it's really loud in here.)

[Chorus]
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
(If you're gonna do it folks, do it with me
You know, some musicians--I can't yell man
See what happens when we try to please you, we get feedback)

[False start #2]
[Chorus]
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain--
I can't do it folks, I can't
*prodding cheering*
All right. All right, all right

[Restart]
[Chorus]
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin' there too soon
You're leavin' therе too soon
[Verse 1]
It's so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are thеre
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad

[Chorus]
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons--
Oh to live on
(Sing with me)
Oh to live on
(Don't clap, sing)
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin there too soon
You're leavin there too soon

[Verse 2]
Now you're underneath the stairs
And you're giving back some glares
To the people that you've met
And it's your first cigarette

[Chorus]
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin there too soon
You're leavin there too soon
[Verse 3]
There's a girl just down the aisle
Oh, to turn and see her smile
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read a hidden note

[Chorus]
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin there too soon
You're leavin there too soon

[Verse 4]
Now you say you're leaving home
And you want to be alone
Ain't it funny how you feel
When you're findin' out it's real?

[Chorus]
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin there too soon
You're leavin there too soon
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons
You can't be 20 on Sugar Mountain
Though you're thinking that
You're leavin there too soon
