Permanent Vacation

I'm alone, yeah, i don't know if i can face the night
I'm in tears, and the cryin' that i do is for you
I want your love, let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough, i'll put away my pride
Enough's enough, i've suffered and i've seen the light

Baby,
(chorus)
You're my angel, come and save me tonight
You're my angel, come and make it alrigt
You're my angel, come and save me tonight

Don't know what i'm gonna do about this feelin' inside
Yes, it's true, loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love, i'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can i do, i'm sleepin' in this bed alone

Baby,
(chorus)

You're the reason i live
You're the reason i die
You're the reason i give
When i break down and cry
Don't need no reason why

Baby, baby, baby
(repeat chorus)

(come on boy, the tape is rollin')
(one, two, one two, two two two)

John was bad
He gave it everything he had
John he prayed
For all the people ever made
John was cool
He never did no after school

Late at night when he praised the lord
He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword

John, st john be cool
Tell the people
They follow you
They follow you

But every night when he praised the lord
He laid his hands down upon the bloody sword

Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down your bloody sword

John, st john be cool
Tell the people
They follow you
John, st john be cool
Tell the people
They follow you

Late at night when he praised the lord
He lay his hands down upon the bloody sword
Laid down upon the sword
Down, down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Gettin' down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Laid it down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword
Late night tv roared

Walkin' the line of a razors edge
Take it as far as it goes
Slice of the sky on a silver wedge
Higher and higher we go - let's go

Ladies in black put a spell on me
Feels like my head's goin'
Round & round & round & upside down
Ladies in white ain't my cup of tea
So be it, i need it, long legs, big eyes
Oh, she drives me crazy

(chorus)
Ooh, simoriah
Ooh, simoriah

Countin' the eyes of the dragonfly
Callin' on dreams from within
She knows the way and she makes me high
So be it, i need it, long hair, blue eyes
Oh, she drives me crazy

(repeat chorus)

Somebody better call a doctor, doctor
Or wake me up with a shove
I'm gonna knock you off your rocker, rocker
'cause i think i'm in love
I tried to get a message to ya
But you walked the other way

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I've got a habit and i can't let go
Feel the fire burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'cause i can't let go

Don't need no wedding with a shotgun, shotgun
So don't you push me too far
Don't try to take me for a fool child, who child
Do you think that you are
You really got it coming to ya
It's gonna come as no surprise

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now i can't let go
Take it easy, take it slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'cause i can't let go

You never know what you got
Till they take it away
I'm comin' ready or not
Gonna get you some day

I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now i can't let go
Feel the fire, burnin' slow
I got a habit and i'm back for more
Ypur magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now i can't let go
Feel the fire, burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'cause i can't, can't, can't let you go

I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it's hot down by montego bay
I got the point and now i think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, i got to get away

I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit, but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why

(chorus)
I really need it, really, really need st tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really, really need st tropez
You best believe it that i got to get away

I got a sister, man she really got a pin head
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin', but i kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight

(chorus)

I gotta take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be cummin' down in cayman brack
I gotta hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah, got to cut me some slack

I really need it, really, really need st tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really, really need st tropez
I really need it, really need it, really really....

Me and my old lady sittin' in the shade
Talkin' 'bout the money that i ain't made
Singin' o boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

If i could i surely would
Stand on the rock that moses stood
Singin' o boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

Drank so much hooch
It my eyes be gettin' blurry
They say i nailed her to the door
A stich in time don't mean a thing
No hangman jury could make me crawl
'cause i'm a poor boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

Wacha do with a gun that's loaded
Shot her dead and her heart exploded
Tell me baby now d-dontcha worry
Like lyin' to a hangman jury

I swear i didn't know that '45 was loaded
In fact my memory ain't too clear
That's not to say she didn't get what she deserved
Least that's the way it looked from here
Boy when you line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track a lack a
Hey boy dontcha line the track

Ooh, my love came tumblin' down
Ooh, love come tumblin' down
Ooh, let's get outta here
Love come tumblin'

And every night she take her things into the city
And in the morning make me beg
If i'd taken all her titty gritty
Smack her right upside the head
Boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track

Ooh, my love came tumblin' down
Ooh, love comes tumblin' down
Ooh, love comes tumblin' down

Poor boy sweatin' in the hot summer night
Hangman waitin' for the early mornin' light singin'
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track

If i could i surely would
Stand on the rock that moses done stood singin'
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
O boy dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy dontcha line the track
