Pandora's Box

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got something here I want you all to know
When life and people bring on primal screams
You've got to think of what it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't break it
If you do, then you feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
What you just done, so has somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think the past
You gotta think of what it's gonna take to make it last

Make it
Don't break it
Said make it
Don't break it, if you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose?
You're only paying your dues

Dues is the price that you gotta pay
If you don't, it gets you anyway
Although you know what you've been going through
You're on the brink so think of what it takes to

Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't break it, if you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose?

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah I know, nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know, how to win

Half my life's in books' written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you,

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Hey look yonder
What's that I see
Well that old bogus, honey
Comin' after me

I thought you told her
I 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 to make ends meet
And honey, you're headin' down a one way street
And I gotta go the other way

I thought I knew her
My cagey lady
How could my sunshine
Be 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 hardto make ends meet
And honey, you're headin' down 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've met 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

Because lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
And honey, you're headin' down 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, you're headin' down a one way street
And I really been feelin' like I could be movin' on

You're headin' down a one way street
You're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, you're head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, you're head's like a one way street
When you're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, you're head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, you're head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, you're head's like a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, you're head's like a one way street
You got to get yourself back on your feet

No baby, lovin' everybody you
No no down, no no down, no, no, no
No baby, humpin' everybody
Chewin' everybody
Bootin' everybody
Lovin' everybody
Lickin' everybody you

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy,
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreaming, floatin' down a stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover,
Never knowin' where you've been
You've been fadin', always out paradin,
Keepin' 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 the wagon

It ain't easy, livin' like you wanna,
It's so hard to find piece of mind, yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen
And workin' for you dad is just a drag
He still stuffs 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 where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea

Well I've been away forever,
Suicide's crossin' my mind

With eyes that love of day
But I'll never never never never never get so far away

I said write me

Well there's nothin' I can see that'd ever make me want to be without her
She good, she good to me
Said there's no way to explain the kind of feeling that you get out every day
She good, she good to me
See this emptiness inside that makes me scream and make me crawl out of my hide
She good, she good to me

Well I've been away forever,
Suicide's crossin' my mind

Hidin' from the wind and the rain
But you could write me a letter
to save me from a-goin' insane

I said write me
Write me

Write me
Don't write me baby yeah

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 it out 'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in

Tell me who you know and I'll tell ya who too
Go see my friend he'll set you free
Tell me what you need and maybe I can go too
No one knows the way but maybe me
Nobody goes there, nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me, yeah

Good mornin' glory, hallelujah to ya
What is the story and what's been goin' through ya?
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock and roll band

We're movin', we're getting out
We're movin', without a doubt
We're movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

'Cause nobody goes there, nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me
Nobody knows where, nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me
No, no no no no, it's all comin' down on you

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

Yeah, where you wanna go
Where you wanna go
Where you going
Where you going
Where you going

Good mornin' glory hallelujah to ya
What is the story and what's been goin' through ya?

I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in

Mary Mack, all dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her back
I know, 'cause I love her so
She 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 the dog

Ask your mama for fifteen cents
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, it touched the sky
Didn't come back 'til 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 the 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' 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 the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder, with nothing to show
With the judge, constipation will go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend

Gotcha with the cocaine, they found with your gun
No smooth-faced laywer could get you undone
Said love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old song and dance

Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Your old time connection, change your direction
You ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

When you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
Said love ain't the same, on the south side of town
You could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

It's the same old story
Same old song and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old song and dance

Down to who knows who
Just to socialize
I'm waiting for my girls
When you caught my eyes

You got no way to make a man honey
You got to understand
I'm your man, child, lord of the thighs

Well, well, Lordie my God
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor
Make it perfectly clear

You're the bait, and you're the hook
Someone bound to take a look
I'm your man, child, Lord of the Thighs

You must of come here to find it
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of your thighs

You must of come here to find it
You've got the look in your eyes
Although you really don't mind it
I am the lord of your thighs

Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind 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

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

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, 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

Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind 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

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, with a ho
But I just couldn't tell her

Well, get along, sweet little woman get along
On your way, 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 must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
Got off the train, and lookin' handsome
Lookin' so good, Jack, I couldn't let her go
But I just couldn't tell her so

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

Blues hearted lady, sleepy was she
Love for the devil brought her to me
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holdin' me in

Ooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

Fireflies dance in the heat of
Hound dogs that bay at the moon
My ship leaves in the midnight
Can't say I'll be back too soon

They awaken, far far away
Heat of my candle, show me the way
Seas of a thousand drawn to her sin
Seasons of wither holdin' me in

Ooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
Ooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
Bound to lose your mind
Live on borrowed time
Take the wind right out of your sail

When I'm in heat and someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet, I hoof it to the ocean

We hit a beach where no one give a hoot
Nobody never ever wears a suit
The ladies there, they look so proud
That's cause they know that their well endowed

Now I ain't much on Fannie's conversation
Or care to much about her operation
But every time Pandora come my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation

To get it on I got to watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation

Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smellin' like a flora
Open up your door for me

Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smellin' like a flora
Open up your door for me

Sweet Pandora
Mama crack a smile for me
Just for me

Now I ain't what you'd call a city slicker
Or claim to fame to be a slitty licker
But every time Pandora come my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation

To get it on I got to watch what I say
Or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation

Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smellin' like a flora
Open up your door for me

Sweet Pandora
God-like aura
Smellin' like a flora
Open up your door for me

Sweet Pandora
Mama crack a smile for me
Just for me

In the attic, lights
Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Leavin' the things that are real behind
But even the things that you love remind
All of the things that you learn from fears
Nothin' is left for the years

Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

Lights
Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Leavin' the things that are real behind
But even the things that you love remind
All of the things that you learn from fears
Nothin' is there but the years

Voices scream
Nothin' seem
Real's the dream

Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic
Toys, toys, toys were in the attic
Toys, toys, toys in the attic

Back when Cain was able
Way before the stable
Lighting struck right down from the sky
A mothership with faith 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 from right

Thievin' Eve in Eden
Voices tried deceivin'
With lies to show the lady the way
At first, she stopped turned and tried to walk away

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

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

Conscience was related
Man, he was created
Lady Luck took him by surprise
Her sweet and bitter fruit, it 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 or need was just a little taste

Well she ate it
Lordy it was love at first bite
Yeah she ate it
Never knowin wrong from right

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

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
"Gonna talk to you," my daddy say
Said, "You ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
And you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
All the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things in lovin' with a sister and a cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing, "hey diddle diddle" with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know'd 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
Just gimme a kiss
Like this!

Schoolgirl skinny with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up her knee
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 somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this!

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
I sing, "hey diddle diddle" with your kitty in the middle
Of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Was a 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 gimme a kiss
Like this!

Got me the strangest woman
Believe me, this chick's no cinch
But I really get her goin'
When I whip out my big ten inch

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well, a band that plays the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues
Now my band!

Last night I tried to tease her
I gave my love a little pinch
But she said "Now stop that jivin'
And now whip out your big ten inch

Record of the band that plays the blues
Well, a band that plays the blues"
She just loves my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

I, I, I'll cover her with kisses
And when we're in a lover's clench
She gets all excited
When she beg for my big ten inch

Record of a band that plays the blues
Well, a band that plays the blues
She just loved my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

My girl don't go for smokin'
Liquor just make her flinch
Seems she don't go for nothin'
'Cept for my big ten inch

Record of a band that plays the blues
Band that plays the blues
She just love my big ten inch
Record of her favorite blues

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

Talk about things and nobody cares
You're wearin' other things that nobody wears
You're callin' my name, but I gotta make clear
I can't say, baby, where I'll be in a year

Some sweet-talkin' mama with a face like a gent
Said my get up and go must've got up and went
Well, I got good news, she's a real good liar
'Cause my backstage boogie set your pants on fire

Sweet Emotion
Sweet Emotion

I pulled into town in a police car
Your daddy said I took you just a little too far
You're tellin' her things, but your girlfriend lied
You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died
Yes it did!

You stand in the front just a-shakin' your ass
I'll take you back stage you can drink from my glass
I'm talkin' 'bout somethin' you can sure understand
'Cause a month on the road and I'll be eatin' from your hand

Blood stains the ivorys
Of my daddy's baby grand
I aint seen no daylight
Since we started this band

No more, no more
No more, no more

Store-bought clothes
Fallin' 'part at the seams
Tea-leaf readin' gypsies
Fortune tellin' my dreams

No more, no more
No more, no more

Holiday Inn
Lock the door with the chain
You love 'em and you hate it
But to me they're all the same

No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more

Baby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Stalemate jailbait
Ladies can't refuse
You love them then you leave 'em
With your sold out reviews

No more, no more
No more, no more

Sweet talkin' barroom
Ladies' disease
Stickin' with her lips
Slidin' down your knees

No more, no more
No more, no more
No more, no more

Ain't my life a screamer?
Bound to a wife in marriage
Baby, I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

Ladies hold the aces
And the lovers call it passion
The men call it pleasure
But to me it's old fashioned

Times they are a-changin'
Nothin' ever stands still
If I stop changin'
Ill be writin' my will

It's the same old story
Never get a second chance
For a dance to the top of the hill

Baby I'm a dreamer
Found my horse and carriage

If you believe in me
Like I believe in you
You wouldn't be tellin' me things
That weren't exactly true

Now all of it changes
Ain't nothin' the same
I'm gettin' the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I been givin'
Well it sure sends you spinnin'
With your feet never touchin' the ground
Spinnin' round n' round

When it was one for all
It was all for one
And now I'm playin' it with Dee
And never bothered no one
Look here!

Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm gettin' the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

'Cause the life I've been livin'
And the love I've been givin'
Well it sure sends you spinnin'
With your feet never touchin' the ground
Rollin' round n' round

Can you remember the days
When you were sweet sixteen
And I was following the ways
Of someone elses dreams?
Look here!

Now everything changes
Ain't nothing the same
I'm gettin' the strangest feeling, baby
I can't remember my name

I'm goin' round n' round

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

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?

You see me cryin'
Say, "You're a ladies' man"
You see me cryin'
I'm so hard to understand

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?

You see me cryin'
Please say you'll stick around
And I've got to be your lover
Yeah, I'll take you to town
And I'll show you everything around
And I'll never ever let you down
'Cause my love is like a merry-go-round

Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?
Honey whatcha done to your head?
Honey what's the words I said?

I'm dreaming tonight
I'm leaving back home
Right!

Take me back to a South Tallahassee
Down 'cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassee
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
From a hot tail poontang sweetheart
Sweat who could make silk purse
From a J. Paul Get and his ear
With her face in her 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 plough
And my feet's in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothin'
It ain't no good when boss man's
Stuffin' it down their throats
For paper notes
And their babies cry
While cities lie at their feet
When you're rockin' the streets

Home sweet home

Mama, take me home sweet home
I was the last child
I'm just a punk in the streets

Goin' under, rats in the cellar
Goin' under, skin's turnin' yella
Nose is runny, losin' my connection
Losin' money, gettin' no affection

New York City blues
East side, West side rules
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearin'
Tearin' me apart

Ain't complainin', 'cause everything's rotten
Go insane an', and ain't a thing forgotten
Feelin' cozy, rats in the cellar
Cheeks are rosy, skin's turning yella
Loose an' soggy, lookin' rather lazy
Soon my body, pushin' up the daisies

New York City dues
East side, west side lose
Throw me in the slam
Catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearin'
Tearin' me apart

New York City blues
East side, west side news
Throw me in the slam
A-catch me if you can
Believe
That you're wearin'
Tearin' me apart

Lord I must be dreamin'
What else could this be
Everybody's screamin'
Runnin' for the sea

Holy lands are sinkin'
Birds take to the sky
The prophets all are stinkin' 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
Of the lame

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

Old St. Andre's
Seven years ago
Shoved it up their richters
Red lines stop and go
Noblemen with courage
Listened with their ears
Spoke but how discouragin'
When no one really hears

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

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Of the lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
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, we're so sorry
Don't be sorry
Man has known
And now he's blown it
Upside down and hell's the only sound
We did an aweful job
And now we're just a little too late

Johnny come lately on a Saturday night
Singin' how to go
Back street boogie in the house of delight
A-when he steal the show
A-money comes sour but the ladies are sweet
It's a love affair
Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet
A-when the gang's all there

He gets his lovin' every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
A-singin' na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na

Johnny liked to gamble with his lady Louise
She was a black jack deuces are wild
He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze
'Put it there', Johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinking 'bout a fortune and fame
And the young girls down at his knees
He dug the money but forgot all the names
So he knew just how to appease

Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a
Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise
He gave the ladies a
Lick and a promise

Loose change grubber in his early, early years
Had his poor mama pacin' the floors
He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more

He gets his woman every night for free
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe

A-singin' na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Now it's time
To say good night to you
Now it's time
To bid you sweet adieu

Maybe, drink a cheers to yesterday
And maybe, you'll drink those tears away

So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tonight

So baby, don't let go
Hold on real tight
'Cause I'll be home tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Checkmate honey, beat you at your own damn game
No dice honey, I'm livin' on a astral plane
Feet's on the ground, and your head's goin' down the drain
Oh, heads I win, tails you lose, to the never mind
When to draw the line

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 outta me
Oh, pass me the vile and cross your Fingers
It don't take time
Know where to draw the line

Hi ho silver, we were singin' all your cowboy songs
Oh, 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 the 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 of the toss
The dice, the price
Grab yourself a slice
Know where to draw the line

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime
Screamin' the blues

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Try to make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool out of me

Swing low
Sweet cherry-o
When a strange love
Showed me the way

Ya see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin'
On for the play

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool out of me

E. Poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that
The raven was mad

Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the best thing he ever had
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool out of me
I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool out of me

Oh play rough
Can't get enough
So they try to make a fool out of me, lordy

Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me

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 leader, 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
But she never got the feelin' to last
Celebrate, celebrate, celebraid it
This is the critical 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, celebreak it
This is the 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 practice and phase

Out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
And I went screaming out down the hall

I need it
I need your love
I need your love
Need your love need your love

Just then I heard a poundin' on the door
We're all here, sang the voice of twenty more

I drink to you 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
Time and space, is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day
Time and space, is takin' me away
Time erase, don't know the time of day

Long ago in days I'm told
Were ruled by Lords of greed
Maidens fared with gold
They dared to bare their wombs that bleed

Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws
When bishops took the ride
Only to deceive

Oh I know I lived this life before
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossin, turnin', nightmares burnin'
Dreams of swords in hand
Sailin' ships the Viking spits the
Blood of father's land
Only to deceive

Live in times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death fear only loss of pride

Live in other centuries
Deja vu 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
Lordy lordy they died

Live and do or die
Long ago in days I'm told
They died
Kings and queens and guillotines
Live and no reply
They died
Long ago in days I'm told
Kings and queens and guillotines

Well I tried everything
Just to get along with you
And I'm gonna tell you just
What I'm gonna do

Well I'm sick of all your cryin'
When you should be leavin' me alone
If you don't believe me
You pack my bag, I'm gone

Won'tcha please
A don't that sun look good goin' down
Now I'm gonna look so lonesome
When your ol' man ain't around

Won'tcha please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Well you best believe that I love ya baby
When your old man ain't around

Won'tcha you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Won't you please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Well you best believe I love ya baby
When your ol' man ain't around

And around and around and around and around

1971, we all heard the starters gun
New York was such a pity
But at Max's Kansas City we won

We all shot the shit at the bar
With Johnny O' Toole and his scar
And then old Clive Davis said
He's surely gonna make us a star
"I'm gonna make you a star
Just the way you are"

But with all his style
I could see in his eyes
That we is goin' on trial
It was no surprize

The boys kept kickin' ass
As usual time would tell
But some bitch in the choir
Throw water on the fires of hell
She loved to show and tell
Lord, she loved to tell

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
And it was no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize

Midnight lady
Situation fetal
Vaccinate your ass with
your phonograph needle

I say looky here
Friend of mine
You scratch like you need calamine
Flamingo boots, soles a creakin'
Still in love and Puerto Rican too

Ridin' on wheels of hell
Smokin' our axle grease
Oh, the backstage is rockin'
And we're coppin' from the local police
That's right, the local police
Or the juctice of peace

But with all our style
You could see in our eyes
That we is still on trial
Baby, it's no surprize
No surprize
No surprize
No surprize

Rock n' roll, junkie whore
Got my foot inside the door
Knock knock, knock knock, knock
Nobody's keepin' score

Bad times go away
Come again some other day
Topaz and sazzafraz
Will keep the blues away

Candy store, rock n' roll
Corporation jellyroll
Play the singles, it ain't me
It's programmed insanity
You ASCAP, if BMI
Could ever make a mountain fly
If Japanese can boil teas
Then where the fuck's my royalties

I met a babe in a backseat drive-in
Back in the saddle she'd sit
Pulled on the reins just to keep me risin'
She loved to chomp at the bit

Daddy do it, ooh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

She always walks with her eyes
Down on her bootlace
She lives to give it away
She don't believe in the
Right time or the wrong place
She's always liable to say

Daddy do it, ooh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

Cheese cake, looser than her sister
Cheese cake, mm, her sugar gets me high
She knows I can't resist her
Cheese cake
Got my fingers in her pie
Cheese cake
Cheese cake, sneakin' out the back door
Cheese cake, rollin' down the lawn
Everybody kissed her
Cheese cake
Oh, at the crack of dawn
Cheese cake

Daddy do it, ooh, just do it
Daddy do it, please let me see
Daddy do it, please just do it daddy
Do it, do it, do it, drivin' me crazy

Cheese cake, looser than her sister
Cheese cake, mm, her sugar gets me high
She knows I can't resist her
Cheese cake
Got my fingers in her pie
Cheese cake

Cheese cake

Take a walk in the warm New England sun
Ain't no time to look for clues
You get the point from Uncle Sam's loaded gun
Who be the hand that light the fuse

A take a look, take a look at my old billy goat
He used to raise all kinds of hell
He took a dose of radiation dope
A back in the barn is where he felt
Like hell

Lucy, chromosome
Lucy, superdome

What makes you think you patronizin' my old friends
After you ride in my car, car
What do you do when your oil's Mexican
OPEC boys, you went too far, too far

Lucy, superdome
Lucy, chromosome
Lucy, papadome
Lucy, sing the song

Dig it up
Live it up
A dig it up
Live it up

Look out!

Flatbush boy cruisin' Sheepshead Bay
His boardwalk mama just a sniff away
Underground DMT, ridin' thunder train
The Coney Island white fish boy is on the run again

Ooh, runnin' with the pack
Ooh, and never lookin' back
Ooh, knows just where he's been
That Coney Island white fish boy's been there and back again

Sixteen years with his boardwalk queen
And at steeplechase, she used to wet his dreams
She combs her hair, that flamin' jewel
Streaked with Clorox bleach
Coney gettin' down and dirty
Snortin' up the beach

And she'd be screamin' Coney
And she'd be dreamin' Coney
Go get 'em Coney

Coney
Bone To Bone screamin'
Coney
She be screamin'
Coney

In town
Get back in town
Get back, a get down
Get back in town

Coney
She'd be screamin'
Coney
Best believe it
Coney

Take me outside and maybe

If what you see is what you get then gimmie me a bite
Here are lots of ladies, they is dressed to kill
Leave it to the boys and the fool on the hill
