(J-P. Maunick / G. Sanctuary / J. Kerouac)A broken man, bottle in his handWishes he could stop the voices in his headHe walked the line, till the line got so fineHe didn't even know he'd fallen on the other sideOne minute hot, the next you're notAnd the world that you know becomes a stranger tomorrowJust like the man with a bottle in his handWho wishes he could stop the voices in his headSo we travel on the roadAnd we don't know where we're coming fromWe travel on the open roadAnd we don't know where we're going toI know a man eyes always closedLost in his dreams, where it all came to passUp on a stand, like Dizzy and the bandWhere the beat always drops and the music never stopsThere came a day when he finally awokeTo find the line broke and his dreams all sailed awayI know a man, bottle in his handWishes he could stop the voices in his headSo we travel on the roadAnd we don't know where we're coming fromWe travel on the open roadAnd we don't know where we're going toIt's the beat generation, it's BE-AT,It's the beat to keep, it's the beat of the heart,It's being beat and down in the world,And like old time low-down, and like in ancient civilisations,The slave boat men rowing galleys' to a beat, and servants spinning pottery to a beatThe faces!There's no face to compare with Jack Mingus who's up on the bandstand nowWith a coloured trumpeter who out blows him wild and dizzyBut Jack's face overlooking all the heads in smokeHe has a face that looks like everybody you've ever knownAnd seen on the street in your timeSweet face, hard to describe, sad eyes, cruel lips, expectant gleamSwaying to the beat, tall, majesticalWaiting in front of the drug-store, swaying to the beat
