Box Of Fire

Long ago in days untoled
Were ruled by lords of greed
Maidens fair, with gold they dared
To bare their wombs that bleed
Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchments laid the laws
When bishops took the ride

Only to decieve

Oh i know i
Lived this life before
Somehow i know now
Truths i must be sure
Tossin' turnin', nightmares brunin'
Dreams of swords in hand
Sailing ships, the viking spits
The blood of father's land

Only to decieve

Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
Living other centuries
Deja v?or what you please
Follows true to all who do or die
Screams of no reply
They died
Screams of no reply
And died
Lordy, lordy, they died

I need a lady, not somebody shady
Need someone to be close to
Somebody cozy, not somebody nosey
Help me see my whole day through

Someone to share the load
Somebody to walk the road i live on, live

Good lord send me, good lord mend me
Send me down someone for me
Said i won't be choosy
You could send me a floosy
Send me anybody you please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some, somebody for me
Now won't you send me somebody
Yeah, somebody

Won't you send me somebody
Now won't you send me somebody
Well, call for somebody
Scream loud and bloody
Call woman, woman, come on to me
Save for tomorrow
Share all your sorrow
Misery enjoys company
Yes it does, yes it does

Take me on your rockin' horse
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles, everyone
Ain't my way of havin' fun

(chorus)
Can't give it up
Gotta give it up, give it up
C'mon nancy
Can't give it up
Gotta get it up, get it up
For your fancy

Don't speculate
I'm just a slave your masters bait
I love fuck into the night
Just waitin' for the bright light fright

Can't get it up,
Gotta get it up, get it up
C'mon nancy
Can't get it up
Gotta get it up, get it up
Really have a good time
Really have a good time

Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
Really have a good time
Love me 'til the sun

(chorus)

Get it up and down and all around
Take a ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last
You know you gotta
Really have a good time
You know you're really gonna
Really have a good time
Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline
You know you really gonna
Really have a good time
You know you really wanna love me
'til the sun can't get it up

Spaced in time, child of mine
Doin' twenty years on the way
Fire and steel, earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died, ma survived
Tellin' me about her ordeal

And the soul she could not feel
'cause they made her so unreal

Lightnin' years disappearsne
Twenty million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Tryin' to keep from goin' insane

And my soul i can not feel
'cause they made me so unreal

Spaced enough to know i feel there's nothing out there
Spaced enough to know i feel i really don't care
Spaced enough to feel i'm really losin' my mind

And i'm never ever goin' back
I lost the track
No one even knows i'm alive
Spaced without a trace
Waitin' for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive

When will the clouds all blow it away
When will the good people have their say
Now i hope you're still around to see the day

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

Who's gonna tell what is up or down
Who can be the king or be the clown
Then climb your tree, take a look around

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

Take it nobody out, if it in the tame
That which is now, will be again
Who can decide who is insane

Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it
Take a while, think about it

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!

Do you like good boogie
Like the real boogie woogie
Hear the juke box singin'
Get the dance hall swingin'
Won't you grab my shaker
Got to meet your maker

Get out the lead
Get out of bed
Get the lead out

(get ready), i'll show you my fist
(get ready), take hold of my wrist
(get ready), we really can't miss
(get ready)

Hey good lookin'
What cha got there cookin'
You a young spring chicken
Make your feet start kickin'

No no, no no, no no, no no

Oh, hey good lookin'
What cha got there cookin'

Make your feet start kickin'
Boot it out, dance without me

Honey now..na, na, na, na, na....

Hush a bye my baby soft and new
Oh, loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush a bye my baby what you do
Oh, the baby cry
The wind is a-callin your name

Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ah, don't you cry you're home sweet home

Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oh, the nightingale's singin' her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oh, don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name
Oh, oh...

Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorce, io repouise

Oh, oh...

Mary mac, dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her crack
I know, 'cause i love her so
She-a broke a needle
Now she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

Ask yo' mama for a-fifteen cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, touched the sky
Didn't come back till the fourth of july

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

Mary mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow
Well, well, silver bells
And little bitty bitty white shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' your dog

Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

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

The street is cold, the dawn is grey
My heart says no but my head says stay
My work is finished, or so i've been told
Can't part the three of us, once we got a hold

I forgot the name
I took a shot on the chin
I'm rearranging my game
Tell by the shape i'm in

In the line of fire, you know what to say
They gave us no choises, just one shade of grey
My legs keep moving, i don't seem to stray
But i know each step we take, they're one step away

I found the secret, the key to the vault
We walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all

I got the nouveauree
And dragged it home to bed
I traded you for me
I took it all and said

I find my own fun, sometimes for free
I got to pay it to come looking for me
Walking on gucci, wearin' yves saint laurent
Barley stay on, 'cause i'm so damn gaunt

(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)

Back when cane was able
Way before the stable
Lightning shot right out from the sky
A mothership with fith said
Let's give it a try

Conscience was related
Man, he was created
Lady luck took him by surprise
Her sweet and bitter fruit
It surely opened his eyes

Well, she ate it
Lordy, it was love at first bite
Well, she ate it
Never knowin' wrong for right, right, right, right

Even eve in eden
Voices tried deceivin'
With lies to show the lady the way
At first she stopped and turned
And tried to walk away

Man, he was believer
Lady was deceiver
So the story goes, but you see
The snake was he and she just climbed right up his tree

So, she ate it
Lordy, it was love at first bite
She ate it
Never knowin' wrong for right, right, right

Science was related
Man, he was created
When lady luck took him by surprise
Her sweet and bitter fruits
Surely opened his eyes

Evil came like rain
And who knows who's to blame
And something tried to lay her to waste
And all she want to need was just a little taste

So, she ate it
Lordy, it was love at first bite
Yeah, she ate it
Never knowin' wrong for right, right, right, right
Well, she ate it
Lordy, it was love at first bite
Yeah, she ate it
Never knowing wrong from right, right,
Well that's right

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)

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

You talk about things that nobody cares
You're wearing out things that nobody wears
You're calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can't say baby where i'll be in a year

Some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go musta got up and went
Well i got good news, she's a real good liar
'cause the backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet emotion
Sweet emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said i took it just a little to far
You're telling me things but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit gone died
Yes it is

You stand in the front just a shakin' your ass
I'll take you backstage, you can drink from my glass
I talk about somehting you can sure understand
'cause a month on the road an' i'll be eating from your hand

Now you say you're lonely
You cry the whole night through
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I'll cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I'll cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river
I'll cried a river over you

You drove me, baby, drove me out of my pain
Why, you never shed a tear
Remember all, remember all that she said
Told me love was to be in, you was, you was...

Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river
I'll cried a river over you
I'll cried a river over you
I'll cried a river over (yah yah, yeah, yah yah, yeah...)

Rock-a-bye baby
If you want to dance
Grab yourself a body
And take a chance
They say one time around
Is all you get
But i'm still dancin'
So you lost your bet

I got a hardcore mama
With a hot hoochie coo
Make my wheels start spinnin'
Like a formula two

I got one for the money
Two for the show
Three for my honey
And four to let you know that i
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking
Let the music do the talking

Cheese cake
Mabye if i take another bite
I'm a real fat city
I'm an aero delight
Threw out my pipe
And my alcoline
Got a squeaky clean body
And a dirty mind
I'm a real fine dancer
I'll be cuttin' rug
Got my brand new baby
She's my brand new drug

Let the music do the talking
(repeat)

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....

I tell ya kinky
You foxy little flirt
I caught you in the biar path
Liftin' up your skirt
Well let me tell ya
What you been doin' in the firepatch
What you been doin' with your little skirt
Got....

You've been foolin' with the bitch's brew
You know the things i told you not to do
You fell into the briar patch
Ain't nothing gonna save your ass

Remember the things you said
The saving and the screams for bread
And now you just walked away
So take it away, all the way

You're fooling with the bitch's brew
That ain't the thing you ought to fool with
Now you keep your fingers out of there, honey
You know that ain't no there

The way that you really feel
Down the parts on the way you deal
Where the witch is sight
And the things that you fight
(oh god)

You've been messin' with the bitch's brew
Now don't you know who you're talking to
Say you're talking to the bitch's who
Tell me you never really cared

The voodoo man eyes of fire
The hoodoo man most desire
The bitches are out n' smooth
Tell from the light of the moon

(yodle-lay-lay-lay, yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)

I've been thinkin'
Had my hands through the sense of time
Yeah, and i've been drinkin'
Just to make this here song rhyme

You're foolin' with the bitch's brew
Now don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you...
Don't go foolin' with the bitch's brew...

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...

You see me crying
Don't let it get you down
You see me crying
I'm back to the lost and found

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

You see me crying
Say you a ladies man
You see me crying
I'm so hard to understand

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

You see me crying

Please say you stick around
And i got to be your lover, honey
Lovin' time after time
And i show everything around
And i never ever let you down
'cause my love is like a madder round

Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said
Honey, what you done to your head
Honey, what's the words that i said

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)

And what a stormy night
I met the pony
It was so dark that i could hardly see
It smelled so sweet you know who and joanie
So many butterflies one could not see

We all could feel desire
Took off in flight
It was hotter than fire
Than came the light

Oh, oooh
Oh, ah, now smell the heat
The dancing pony unwrapped his wings
To try off joanie
The pony he grew in size
In thunder and rain
And finally realize
What he was and what he does
And what he couldn't stay

And left to kiss the cheek of mother nature
Nobody here can denie such things
He's created as you look'm honey
No butterfly should be denied his wings

He was a kick ass rocking horse
He like a hell bent tied to the gavin pole
It was a one-time fantasy
I got to grab hold and fly into the holy land
Bare back, riding like like a butterplane
Nightmares, and he can hold the candle to my dreams

Oh we rode tonight
I talked to believe in
What i saw all right
It was everything
We flew into burning skies
The thunder and rain
And finally realize
What he is and what he does
And what he couldn't stay

Oh, no, no...
Took off in flight
Oh, no, no...

Bare back somethings coming over me
Not mess and he can hold the candle to my dreams

No live to breathe
No stable lights
No try to please
Nobody's eyes
We'll never see lust again
And tell me the pain
Bury it all again
We have a good time
Somebody shot him down

Now tell me, tell me, tell me never
We could really cause a course in time
Listen bissin' to your old pleasures
Bissin' listenin' be a king of spine

He was a keep grass rocking horse
He was a one time fantasy
A two two...?
A three three?

(look out!)
"we're gonna bring somebody
Up on stage now with us.
A mr david woodford.
Gonna blow some sax, yeah"

(watch this man!)

Some like 'em short
Some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin
Skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered
I like 'em proud
Now when they walk
They know they draw a crowd

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

Popcorn, popcorn
Cheese cake, cheese cake (uh! you heard it)
Hun' i can't see ya
There ya baby!
Listen here

Some like 'em short, some like 'em tall
Some like 'em thin, skinny legs and all
I like 'em buttered, i like 'em proud
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
See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother for me
Said 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,
Said you gotta have, said you gotta have

She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
She got to give just what she got
To get just what she wants
What it is, what it is, just what it is

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
Let's get outta here

See - well, you gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me
Gotta have a mother for me
Said you gotta have a mother, gotta have a mother
Said ya gotta have, gotta have...

Honey, you gotta have a mother for me

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

Lord i must be dreaming
What else could this be
Everybody's screaming
Running' for the sea

Holy lands are sinking
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up to the knees
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now they say it's nobody's fault

Old st. andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their richters
Red light stop and go
Noble men of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouraging
When no one really hears

One of these day's you'll be sorry
Too many houses on stilt
Three milion years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt

(chorus)
Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame
Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Shit piled up in debris

California showtime
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

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

It was a take it or a leave it
On a saturday night
I wish i could love you 'til the cats come home
And make it right
If it's a make believe i say
I ain't tell you then
'cause if it's a dream my memories wake me up
And start again

Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Oh, look overhow you could do with your only believes

(chorus)
She was a real top manner
Lots of nothing other
Hard core biloozy
Late night rubber
A second hand clothes
Smiling like a cheshire cat

Well it was either now or walkin down the urchin' moon
Only a certain situation you could see i'm who
Putting the ring around the rose n' pull the daisy chain
Well, we are here, can tell me you ain't with that bachelor thing
Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Oh, nothing but hammer to you with your only decease in me

(chorus)

If you have wanna won with me
You're not to have be here tonight
Want you to hold it down
And let me lose a rock me right
Want you to get it on i'm your main man
Brother you never learned
Come on and rock again

Oh, close your eyes and what do you see
Rumbelin' happy to do with your only believes in me

(repeat chorus)

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

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

(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

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....

Well on a train, i met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda look the same
She was pretty
From new york city
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

I said, train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
Train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave, and a ho
But i just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

Well on a train, i met a dame
She rather handsome
We kinda looked the same
She was pretty
From new york city
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
Well, get along
Sweet little woman get along
On your way
I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her

Well, we made a stop in albequerque
She musta thought
I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and put her hands up
Lookin' so good, i couldn't let her go
But i just couldn't tell her so

(chorus)

I'm in heat, i'm in love
But i just couldn't tell her

Well, she's the woman of the world
And god she know it
She'll turn my head
Every time she shows it
Yeah, nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Honey, say what you gotta say

Lordy, lordy, lordy, lordy what a woman

Well i tried, i tried so hard to please her
She'd give me a look if i beg to tease her
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
No way you can try to choochie coo
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, lordy what you gonna do

And i tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

And i tried with an open hand
And a heart of sorrow
Hoped that everything would be all right
Don't save too much lovin' for tomorrow
Get out all your lovin' here tonight

She got big-eyed cats
She got coats of sable
She seats forty-four at her dinner table
And there's nothing you can do
Nothing you can say
No way you can try to change her way
She might be gone tomorrow
Oh, throwin' it all away
