Best Of Dark Horse 1976-1989

Somebody brought the juicer
I thought i'd take a sip
Came off the rails so crazy
My senses took a dip
Before the bottle hit the floor
And i'd had time to think
I was blinded by desire
The elephant turned pink

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think about a lady
Cause yourself a minor war
And your life won't be so easy anymore

No sooner had i sown it
When i began to reap
I was torn from shallow water
And plunged into the deep
And as i started drowning
I clung onto a straw
That somehow kept me floating
While my madness craved for more

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done and more
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure

A pebble in the ocean
Must cause some kind of stir
And witnessed by the silence
Will reach from here to there
The action that i've started
Sometime i'll have to face
My influence in motion
Rebounding back through space

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure
You may think of sexy sadie
Let her in through your front door
And your life won't be so easy anymore

Maya love - maya love,
Maya love is like the sea
Flowing in and out of me
Maya love - maya love,
Maya love is like the day
First it comes, then it rolls away
Maya love - maya love,
Maya love is like the wind
Blowing hard on everything
Maya love - maya love,
Maya love is like the rain
Beating on your window brain
Maya love - maya love,
Maya love is like the stream
Flowing through this cosmic dream

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think i'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye sweet caress
Hello emptiness
I know i'm gonna die
Goodbye my love bye bye

There goes our lady
With a "you know who"
I hope she's happy
And "old 'clapper' too"
We had good rhythm
(and a little slide)
Then she stepped in
Did me a favour
I threw them both out.

(mmm) goodbye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think i'm gonna cry
Bye bye my love bye bye
(mmm) bye bye love (mmm)
It's gonna be a raining out of doors
(mmmm) hello happiness (mmm)
Goodbye my love goodbye

Now i'm into romance
I shy away from love
Got tired of ladies (ooh ooh)
That plot and shove me
And that's the reason
We all can (see) so clearly
They see that our lady
Is out on a 'spree'

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello loneliness
Think i'm gonna cry

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness
Hello emptiness

You thought that you knew where i was and when
But it looks like they've been foolin' you again,
You thought that you'd got me all steaked out
But baby looks like i've been breaking out

I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since i stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse.

You thought you had got me in your grip
Baby looks like you was not so smart
And i became too slippery for you
But let me say that was nothing new.

I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since i picked up my first spoon
I've been a cool jerk
Looking for the source
I'm a dark horse

I thought that you knew it all along
Until you started getting me not right
Seems as if you heared a little late
But i warned you when
We both were at the starting gate

I'm a dark horse
Running on a dark race course
I'm a blue moon
Since i stepped from out of the womb
I've been a cool jerk
Cooking at the source
I'm a dark horse.
