Box Of Fire

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got somethin' here i want you all to know
When life and people bring on primal screams
You got to think of
What it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Do then you feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
But you just learned so by somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think up fast
You gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
Make it
Don't brake it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only paying your dues
Too stinkin' proud but you're gonna pay
If you're gone i'll get you anyway
Although you know what you've been going through
Your only dreams feel like a tattoo

Make it
Don't brake it
I said make it
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose

Boys, it looks, are ready to rumble
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
Blades gonna flash when streets gang clash
In the avenue tonight

When the lightning strikes

Zip gun johnnys finger is itchin'
The lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
It's so ruthless when they fight

When the lightning strikes

And it's free for all in the parking lot
And who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

When the lightning strikes

It's dog eat dog when you meet your rival
And the combat zone it's your means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
With a broken dagger knife
When the lightning strikes

And it's free for all in the parking lot
And who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat

And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights

Oh, oh...

When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
When the lightning strikes
Lightning and thunder
When the lightning strikes...

Blood stains the ivorys
Of my daddys babygrand
I aint' seen no daylight
Since we started this band
No more, no more
No more, no more

Store bought clothes
Fallin' appart at the seams
Tea leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreams

No more, no more
No more, no more

Holiday inns, lock the door with a chain
You love it than you hate it
But to me they're all the same

No more, no more
No more, no more

Baby i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Stalemate jailbate
Ladies can't refuse
You love 'em then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviews

No more, no more
No more, no more

Sweet talkin' barroom, ladies disease
Slippin' with her lips
Slidin' down your knees

No more, no more
No more, no more

Me and my life a screamer
Bound to a wife and marriage
Baby, i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Ladies hold the aces
And their lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure
But to me it's old fashioned

Times they are a-changin
Nothin' ever stands still
If i don't stop a-changin
I'll be writtin' out my will

It's the same old story
Never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill

Baby i'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Johnny come late on a saturday night
Singin' how de do
Backstreet boogie in the house of delight
Where they steal the show
The money come sour but the ladies are sweet
Ad it's a love affair
Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet
When the gang's all there

He gets his lovin' every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
Singin' na, na, na...

Johnny like to gamble with his lady louise
She was a black jack deuces are wild
He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze
And johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinking 'bout the fortune and fame
And the young girls down at his knees
He dug the money but forgot all the names
So he knew just how to appease

(chorus)
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
(he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise

Loose change clover in his early, early years
Had his poor mama pacin' the floors
He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more

(repeat chorus)

Oh, on the beach of cartegena
She, salty baby with the name, ah
Oh, chiquita
Oh, chiquita

She, takes me walkin' in the sunshine
She, she'll be lovin' till the moon shine

Love chiquita
Oh love chiquita

She, got the poppy-eyed desire
Tease, till the boys put out the fire

Love chiquita
Oh, love chiquita

Oh, no, no, now don't you wake me up, i'm dreamin'
No, no, no, if you wake me i'll be screamin'

Love chiquita
Oh, love chiquita

Take me, take me...

Take it or a-leave it on a saturday night
And what you see is what you get so give me a bite
Here are lots of ladies, they are so insecure
Leave it to the boys and the fool on the hill

Hello baby, yeah it's me
There'll be no judge, no third degree no jailbait
Play the fool and you play the punk
Wake up babe, i'm a-don't know jailbait

I believe in someone talkin'
Can't let go you don't get hold no jailbait
What it is, but you believe it
What you got, got up the sleeve and jailbait

(look here!)
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-jailbait

Take it, leave it, roll the dice
You're hard as hell, i'm cold as ice no jailbait
Tell your daddy how you do me
Put the woodcheck, do it to me jailbait
What you see in daddy's eyes
Check the boys, no surprise no jailbait

Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait

Do me, do you, tell me what you see in me too
Do me, do you

I ain't complainin' the bitch's brew
There's a lover who never knew she's jailbait
Steep the chase, call the sweat
You steep the feet, oh gracer bed, oh jailbait

Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
Oh, j-j-j-j-j-j-jailbait
J-j-j-j-j-j-j
Oh, j-j-j-j-jailbait....

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover
Still i talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen noting
'till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times i can remaniesse
'cause the best thing lovin'
With her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
And i know love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss - like this!

School girl sadie with the classy kinda sassy
Little skirt climbing way up her knees
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When i noticed they was lookin' at me

I was a high school loser
Never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me something i missed
Then my next door neighbour
With a daughter had a favour
So i gave her just a little kiss, like this!

See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle
You be swingin' like you just didn't care

So i took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was it me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way, talk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, talk this way
Just give me a kiss - like this!

Write me a letter
Write me a letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away (yes it has)

Write me a letter

Well i've been away forever
Suicide's crossin' my mind

Without that lord of day
But i'll never, never get so far away

I said write me
Write me

That'd ever make me

Hidin' from the wind and the rain
But you could write me a letter
For to save me from goin' insane

Write me
Excite me
Write me

Write me
Write me
Write me...

Silver buttons up and down her crack

Pretty maids all in a row

To say good night to you

To bid you sweet adieu

And baby, drink a cheers to yesterday
And maybe, you'll drink those tears away

So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'cause i'll be home tonight
Tonight

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how i feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with mama kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon
You act like a perpertual drag
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on a wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way i see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dream
You better check it out
'cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Keep in touch with mama kin
Tell her were you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

(i'm dreaming tonight, i'm leaving back home)
Right!

Take me back to a south tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Gotta get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, no sir
Don't come close to my
Home sweet home
Can't catch no dose
Of my hot tail poon tang sweetheart
Sweathog ready to make a skilk purse
From a j paul getty and his ear
With her face in the beer

Home sweet home

Get out in the field
Put the mule in the stable
Ma she's a cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the city
And my love's in the meadow
Hands on the plow
And my feets in the getto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothing
Ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' down their throats
With paper notes
As babies cry
When you're rockin' in the street

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home

I was the last child
Just a punk in the streets

(repeat)

Major
Major barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair
She made out of wood
So many, many years ago

Major, why don't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

She waits all day
And hopes through the night
For a new day that might show
A bright yellow sun
That'll make the crops come
And let the old days go

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Major
Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through

Major
Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

Stagecoach lady, hourglass body
Makin' thinks glow in the night
Well, she would if she could
And she'd be good if she would
Only tell her lover she be out tonight

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

Salt lake city, salt-lickin' bitties
Bogies turn, stinkin' of gin
Well my daddy was hard
His face was pretty scarred
From kickin' ass to playin' poker to win

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad

It's too bad
Can't get me none of that

New sold lady
My mama cady
Chivalry was born at her feet
Wel she should have thought twice
When pa showed his dice
Imagine put my daddy to sleep

'cause i'm a bad
A lonely school boy
And i'm a rat
And it's too bad
Can't get me none of that

It's too bad
Lord, it's too bad
I said it's too bad
Lord, it's too bad

(repeat)

For all night dwight

Got a '56 cadillac
With a spare tire on the back
Got a chargt account in my old bank
Said, i ain't got you

Got a classic and a pool
And a big hair ghoul
No matter who i fool
Said, i ain't got you

(chorus)
Got a baby and a liquor store
I played the number of forty-four
Got a mojo and don't you know
I'm all dressed up with no place to go
Got women to the left of me
Women to the right of me
I got chicks all around me
Said, i ain't got you

(chorus)

Mr. whitford!

You know i ain't got you, baby

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

(chorus)
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Try to make a fool outta me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intention
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

Swing low
Sweet cherry-o
When a strange love showed me the way

You see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin' on for the play

(chorus)

E. poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that
Raven was mad

Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the thing he ever had

(chorus)

Oh, play rough
Can't get enough
So the try to make a fool out of me

Lordy
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
You ain't foolin' me

Well i've tried everything
Just to get along with you
And now i'm gonna tell you
Just what i'm gonna do
Well i'm sick of all your cryin'
When you should be leavin' me alone
If you don't believe me
You pack my bags, i'm gone

Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
You almost lost your love girl
When your old man ain't around

(chorus)
Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
And you best believe i love you baby
When your old man ain't around

(repeat chorus)

Round and round...

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in

Tell me who you know
And i'll tell you who, too
Go see my friend and he'll set you free
Tell me what you see and
Mabye i can go too
No one knows the way but mabye me

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me, yeah

Good mornin' glory, hallelujah to you
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king of the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

Movin', we're gettin' out
Movin', without a doubt
Movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me, ah
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy...

Level with god
And you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself
And you'll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above
'cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time
Will take you where you wanna go

Where you wanna go, where you wanna go
Where you goin'....

Good mornin' glory, hallelujah to you
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king of the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

Movin', we're gettin' out
Movin', yeah, without a doubt
Movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can't find me
Round n' round...

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
We gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'cause the city's movin' in

Yes we do....

Down to who knows who just to socialize
I'm waitin' for my girls, when you caught my eyes
You got your ways to make a man
Honey, you got to understand
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, lordie my god
What do we got here
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear
You're the bait and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

You must have come here to find me
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of the thighs

Checkmate honey
Beat you at your own damn game
No dice honey
I'm livin' on the astral plane
Feet's on the ground
Your head's going down the drain
Heads i win, tails you lose
To the never mind

That's where i draw the line

An indian summer
Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet net winner
And rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night
And wrong all the right out of me
Pass me the vile and cross your fingers
It don't take time

Nowhere to draw the line

Hi we were singin' on your cowboy song
You told carrie
And promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads i win, tails you lose
Lord it's such a crime
No dice honey
You're salt, you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey
You're the only one who's got to choose

Where to draw the line

Checkmate, don't be late
Take another pull
That's right
Impossible
When you got to be yourself
You're the boss, the toss
The price, the dice
Grab yourself a slice
Nowhere to draw the line

(repeat)

Uncle salty told me
Stories of the lonely
Baby, we can only come alive to me

Her man he was lusted
Daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted
To the orphanage

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Uncle salty told me
When she was just a baby
That she could buy a mabye
Someday she'd see

Soon she found that money
Is love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers
Was the life to me

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah

Now she's doin' many
For money and the penny
Sell her for a penny or two or three

Hers is the cunnin'
For men that come a runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me

That when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window

Pack up your troubles in your old gym bag
You gotta dance to the tune of bolivian ragamuffin
I'll take short brakes
Love her 'til the ice breaks

Stand on the seashore lookin' at the city
See the street light look like a lady on the titty
In the wax museum everybody can see themselves
As others can see them but nobody wants to be the baby

Tough break - cabbage head
Try to get a salad made
Hold my pickle, hold the lettuce
Session waters don't upset us

Kid's span face looks so even like a needle
Never make third base like a toilet bowl cleaner
Like an squawk-eight fool with the dooner over double
If i have to do rock a roller up a jello

Statiol coverslag, smokin' bowl no feelin' high
Burn and people, try to let us
Hush i'm for hm, what i'm saying

See me kiss - can you prepance
Waitin' for - gotta have a dance
Say me now - say all i need is a chance
I ain't gonna do it...

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

(chorus)
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

In the attic lies
Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

Leaving the things that are real behind
Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothing's seen
Real's a dream

(repeat chorus) (yayayayayayayow!)

Hey look yonder
What's that i see
Well that old bogus, honey
Comin' after me

I goin' told you
Was out of town
I wonder how she knowed
I was hangin' around

Say, listen babe
Don't go wastin' your time
You keep comin' 'round
You'll hear the same old line

You got a thousand boys
You say you need 'em
You take what's good for you
And i'll take my freedom

'cause lately it's been so hard
I've been make ends meet
And honey, your head's a
One way street
And i gotta go the other way
(heh, heh, heh)

I thought i knew her
My cagey lady
How come my sunshine's
Was so damn shady
She'll say she love to talk
A conversation
But i'm the one
Who makes my situation

This one way city
That i thought i knew
It's such a pity, honey
That's it for you
'cause lately it's been so hard
I've been make ends meet
And honey, your head's a
One way street
And i gotta go the other way

There's nothing over here
I never showed you
I made it pretty clear
I'm glad to know you

You know your brother spike
He's on the level
But you always lookin'
Like you're mad at the devil

Don't say i cop a 'tude
It's all forgotten
It's just you're much too rude
Your fruits are rotten

You know i work so hard to keep it alive
Now all i hear from you
Is nothing but jive

Lately it's been so hard
Now to make ends meet
And honey, your head's a
One way street
And i'm goin' on the other way
Yes i do!

And lately it's been so hard
To make ends meet
And honey, your head's a
One way street
And i really been feelin'
Like i could be movin' on

Your head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, your head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, your head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, your head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me...
You got to get yourself back on your feet

(look out!)
"we're gonna bring somebody
Up on stage now with us.

Gonna blow some sax, yeah"

Some like 'em thin
Skinny legs and all

They know they draw a crowd

Watcha say, whatcha say...
See, well you gotta have a mother for me

Cheese cake, cheese cake (uh! you heard it)

And when they walk, you know they'll draw a crowd

See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me

And you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother,

Said you gotta have, said you gotta have

She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants

Honey, you gotta have a mother for me

I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky (good lord)
I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky

Well, i gots to drink me two 5:ths of whiskey
Just to get half as high

When the good lord made that woman
He sure went to town
Oh, when the good lord made that woman
He sure went to town

Well, when he was feelin' high
Oh, he sure should have been feelin' low

Mr perry!

I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky
I got a reefer headed woman
She fell right down from the sky

Lord, i gots to drink me two 5:ths of whiskey
Just to get, just to get, half as high

Goin' under, rats in the cellar
Goin' under, skin's turnin' yellow
Nose is runny, losin' my connection
Losin' money, getting no affection

New york city blues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

Safe complaining, 'casue everything's rotten
Go insanin', and ain't a thing forgotten
Feelin' cozy, rats in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yellow
Lose it's party, lookin' rather lazy
See my body, pushin up a-daisies

New york city blues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearing
Tearing me apart

At first we three thought
'twas the biblical cord of life
Then noticing 'twas connected to his head

How strange, not to believed
I reached out to feel, and the pony's eyes opened
The cord got hard, the head looked around
And you know who pushed and gushed
The waters of life
First two hooved feet, then the shine of his fur

But at first to my eyes only
Feather - feathers - wings
The butterflies flew up in such colors
Exploding all around us

The rest i did not see - till there he stood - all eyes in wonder

Who me - who you

Look

Please, i just got to talk to you
Please, well keep your head out of the loo
Please, we're a long, long way from home
Please, you'd turn a young man's face to stone

(chrous)
Sick as a dog, what's your story
Sick as a dog, a cat got your tounge
Sick as a dog, you'll be sorry
Sick as a dog, 'cause you're really ain't that young

Please, you were much to my surprise
Please, you're a lady in disguise
Please, you're the only friend i got
Please, you're the last to see me rot

(chorus)

Please, it's a shame you're so refined
Please, she was the last thing on my mind
Please, don't be late to take it light
Please, you're gonna bay into the night

Say goodnight

Arriving in boats
Black hooded coats
Tormentors climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed
Covered my head
But they're flushin' me out with a broom
The leades, she's small
Pinned my ass to the wall
For my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
Time after time
She'd be readin' my mind

Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate it
This is critcal mass

So far, so good
I heard the other say
So good, so far
They're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebrake it
This is critical mass

Now the tallest of two
With a brush full of blue
Paints surrealist scenes on the wall
So i tell her for fun
That it's really well done
But she just ain't listenin' at all
She points to my heart
Tellin' me if i'm smart
I'll practise and phase
Out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
And i went screamin' out down the hall

Need it
Need your love
Just then i heard a poundin' on the wall
We're all there, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to your alas
We'll take a drink and break the glass
Celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
We are the critical mass
Time and space is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day

(chorus)
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone
By the light of the moon
I'm looking for ol sukie jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight
I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps
I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge's drier than mine
I'll come when i get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm riding, i'm loading up my pistol
I'm riding, i really got a fistful
I'm riding, i'm shining up my saddle
I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(chorus)

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high already

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea

It's been two years or so
Since i saw my baby go
And then this letter came from me

It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think
What should i do

(chorus)
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
(remember), walking in the sand
(remember), walking hand in hand
(remember), the night was so exciting
(remember), her smile was so inviting
(remember), the she touched me cheek
(remember), with her fingertips
(remember), softly
Softly we met with a kiss

Whatever happened to
The gal that i once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
The night i gave it to you
What did i do with the night
Oh...

(chorus)

Whatever happened to
That girl that i once knew
That girl that said, she was true
Whatever happened to
That night i gave it to you
What would you do with the night

If you believe in me
Like i believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly true

Now everything changes
Ain't got nothing to say
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

When it was one for all
And it was all for one
And everything that we did
Never bothered anyone

Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'cause the life i've been livin'
And the love i've been givin'
Will be sure to send you spinnin'
With your feet never touching the ground
Goin' round n' round

Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And always followed the ways
Of someone elses dream

(look here)
Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm having the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

Goin' round n' round n' round n' round....

You act like a primadonna
Playing so hard to get
Sittin' so cool and nochalant
Draggin' on a cigarette

You keep a wall all around you
I'll get trough one day
I want your love babe
If push comes to shove
Gonna chip that wall away

(chorus)
Chip away
Chip away at the stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what i'm gonna do
Sweet little mama
I wanna get next to you

You stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade

Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer i must
I'm gonna get trough your crust
Gonna chip that stone away

(repeat chorus)

Chip it, i'm gonna nip it
All night long
