Somewhere

(pack - puerta - north - drummond)

Leaping quick on leopard's back
I face the brunt of his attack
In the land of nod i'm king
Until the alarm clock rings

Stepping out from safety's door
I hear the rushing traffic roar
Smiling to myself i say,
"...hooray its a brand new day"

Slashing my way through vine
I'll kill if i have to
I'll be there on time
Clawed through the freeway jam
I curse at the guy who passed me
Last time 'round

In my office settled back
Drink a cup of coffee (black)
Stretch my mind and try'n erase
The thought of the day to face

Life is like the leopard's den
And once you find you've fallen in
A safari of the heart
Surely comes to an end

Madness is our damnation
Strange is the situation we're all in
To one man it matters nothing
Others it shatters something; no one wins

I could not see it myself (though i'd read about it)
I could not hear it myself (though i'd heard about it)
I could not feel it myself (though i knew that it was real)

I could not hear it myself (don't you lie about it)
I could not feel it myself (but don't you cry about it)

For there's an animal in us all
The brunt of which you'll see

(puerta - pack)

Sometimes i feel
That we've been herded like sheep
We've been led out like lambs to the slaughter
And empty souls
Have kept the downtrodden down
And took the best and left us the fodder

Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And i want to know,
I want to know

Sometimes it seems
There was meant to be more
Than this rush and this battle to living
And there's the times
We've all tasted the space
That you know when we feel that we're giving

So take some time
To think about this
I'm blinded now, i'd like to see
And i want to know,
I want to know

I want to see through all the barriers
That were created before i was born
Were they put out there just to guide me
Or keep the weak from becoming strong

I want to know,
I want to know

Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And i want to know

Sometimes i fear
That all men are asleep
Must we shout to awake those that slumber?

(pack)

Where do you think you're goin'?
Dressin' like some evening tramp?
What do you think you're doin'?
Well, you got them talkin' behind my back

It must be something i can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?

I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head

What do you think you're doin' ?
Well i told you not to leave anymore
Where do you think you're going?
Come on, get your fingers off of that door

It must be something i can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?

I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head

I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Waited all my life
Is there something that i could do...

I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head

Goo, goo goo goo goo.

Until i met you baby
I only played with the band
But when i play my polonaise now
On my piano grand

I can't help but thinkin'
Of our first one night stand
When my precious hands were tinkling
On my little georgie sand

Come on and danse with me george

The pants you're wearing mama
And the cigar in your hand
Sorta put me off at first
I didn't understand

But now i love my vichy mama
I adore you and
I wouldn't ever leave you baby
For another man

Come on and danse with me george

You know your lips can spout quotations
But when your hips start their gyrations
They can thaw valley forge
Danse with me george

The memoirs of a mademoiselle
Far ahead of her time
Has left us all a legend
That's never gonna die

To say your ways were novel
Would be a lousy pun
But of late i've been feelig awful
I want to have me some fun

So come on
Put your pen aside baby
Come on
Your lips are driving me crazy

We could talk this out i'm sure
If you would just shut your mouth
So come on,
So come on,
Da, da, da danse with me george

Well your lips can spout quotations (waltzin', minuet, mazurka)
But when your hips start their gyrations (doin' it 'till we're beserka)
They could thaw valley forge
Danse with me george

Le danse

The legend that you leave us is never gonna die.....
