 Countdown To Ecstacy » Tekst piosenki [+ Dodać +] |
1. _ King Of The World
Hello one and all
Was it you i used to know
Can't you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All i got to say
I'm alive and feeling fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine
Chorus:
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any man left on the rio grande
Is the king of the world
As far as i know
I don't want your bread
I don't need your helping hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no highwayman
Show me where you are
You and i will spend this day
Driving in my car
Through the ruins of santa fe
Chorus
I'm reading last year's papers
Although i don't know why
Assassins cons and rapers
Might as well die
If you come around
No more pain and no regrets
Watch the sun go brown
Smoking cobalt cigarettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If i stay inside
I might live til saturday
Chorus

2. _ Show Biz Kids
Chorus:
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
After closing time
At the guernsey fair
I detect the el supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well i've been around the world
And i've been in the washington zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true
Chorus
They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the steely dan t-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous
Chorus
Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else
Chorus

3. _ My Old School
I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the wolverine
Up to annandale
It was still september
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls
In the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When i heard about the whole affair
I said oh no
William and mary won't do
Chorus:
Well i did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And i'm never going back
To my old school
Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen
In a fairy tale
Well i hear the whistle but i can't go
I'm gonna take her down to mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
Chorus
California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day i go
Back to annandale
Tried to warn you
About chino and daddy gee
But i can't seem to get to you
Through the u.s. mail
Well i hear the whistle but i can't go
I'm gonna take her down to mexico
She said oh no
Guadalajara won't do
Chorus

4. _ The Boston Rag
Any news was good news
And the feeling was bad at home
I was out of mind and you
Were on the phone
Lonnie was the kingpin
Back in nineteen sixty-five
I was singing this song
When lonnie came alive
Chorus:
Bring back the boston rag
Tell all your buddies
That it ain't no drag
Bring back the boston rag
You were lady bayside
There was nothing that i could do
So i pointed my car down
Seventh avenue
Lonnie swept the playroom
And he swallowed up all he found
It was forty-eight hours til
Lonnie came around
Chorus

5. _ Pearl Of The Quarter
On the water down in new orleans
My baby's the pearl of the quarter
She's a charmer like you never seen
Singing voulez vous
Where the sailor spend his hard-earned pay
Red beans and rice for a quarter
You can see her almost any day
Singing voulez vous
Chorus:
And if you hear from my louise
Won't you tell her i love her so
Please make it clear
When her day is done
She got a place to go
I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby by the shine of the martyr
She stole my heart with her cajun smile
Singing voulez vous
She loved the million dollar words i say
She loved the candy and the flowers that i bought her
She said she loved me and was on her way
Singing voulez vous
Chorus

6. _ Razor Boy
I hear you are singing a song of the past
I see no tears
I know that you know it may be the last
For many years
You'd gamble or give anything
To be in with the better half
But how many friends must i have
To begin with to make you laugh
Chorus:
Will you still have a song to sing
When the razor boy comes
And take your fancy things away
Will you still be singing it
On that cold and windy day
You know that the coming is so close at hand
You feel all right
I guess only women in cages can stand
This kind of night
I guess only women in cages
Can play down
The things they lose
You think no tomorrow will come
When you lay down
You can't refuse
Chorus

7. _ Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand
Bodhisattva
Would you take me by the hand
Can you show me
The shine of your japan
The sparkle of your china
Can you show me
Bodhisattva
Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town
Bodhisattva
I'm gonna sell my house in town
And i'll be there
To shine in your japan
To sparkle in your china
Yes i'll be there
Bodhisattva
