History: Greatest Hits

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside?
Let's all go stand around it
Funny, i've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'cause i understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, i almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, i've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'cause i understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

But oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad.

So please believe in me
When i say i'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

Oh, oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad

So please believe in me
When i say i'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

No, oz never did give nothing to the tin man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of sir galahad

So please believe in me

We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, i guess i'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, i need you

And every day, i'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
And then it came that i was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me, about me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you
I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know i need you, guess i'll start it all again
You know i need you, i need you ...

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat susie, muskrat sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And sammy's so skinny

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to susie "honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

La da da da da ...

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay here, joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, i know

Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go i know

'cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit ...

Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but i've been hit by purple rain
Aw, come on, joe, you can always
Change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same

Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than moonshine
You're gonna go i know

'cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround your daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in the air

Did di di di dit ...

Mary, have you seen better days?
And will you find different ways?
And does he really mean that much to your heart?
Carry, all of the weight you can, find another man
And lead him directly there to the source
You've got to chart his course

'cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Wake up from an elusive dream
You've got to change the scene
It's getting so hard to see to the end
Break down, all of the walls you can
You need a helping hand
I'm sure there's someone there just for you
He's trying to make it, too

'cause it is only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)

Only in your heart
This thing that makes you want to
Start it all again
(la, la, la, la)

You can't disregard your friends
But life gets so hard when you reach the end

Mary, have you seen better days?
(mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(mary, have you seen better days?)
Mary, have you seen better days?
(mary, have you seen better days?)
