Ride in the Sky Traveling this dark world Leaving light behind Seeing things I shouldn't see New eyes I got to find Mars, Venus and stars Shaking their heads at me No more todays - tonight I'll be riding the sky Hey world look out, I'm coming Friends pass me by And you saw me humming Mars, Venus and stars Shaking their heads at me No more todays Tonight I'll be riding the sky Tonight ride the sky Tonight ride the sky The smile on his face Turn me to stone The words that he spoke Wouldn't leave me alone Mars, Venus and stars Shaking their heads at me No more todays Tonight I'll be riding the sky Tonight ride the sky Tonight ride the sky, Tonight ride the sky Tonight ride the sky ... |
Everybody's Clown I got to find a good time train I know you say I'm looking pale as fever All you want to do is groan But now I say I'm glad you're on your own The summer's been and gone again I don't know where and I don't care where I'm going You tried so hard to bring me down But I'm not simply, everybody's clown Stop the world I need a little time right now In my head I'm so confused Busy little people in their big machine Haven't got the time to feel abused It's not that I'm the restless kind But now I've go to satisfy my mind I haven't got a thing to lose And anyway I've got no time to choose Summer's been and gone again I don't know where And I don't care where I'm going When you see me at the break of dawn Pull yourself together till I'm gone Everybody's clown Everybody's clown ... |
Keep Goin' I saw the horses go by in the snow I heard the hounds in full cry long ago I saw my face in a dream down below I heard the prisoners scream: room for more Keep going they're hot on your heels The longer you rest now the harder it feels Nobody will open the door Even your friends won't know you no more Slowly I open my eyes no one there Breakfest in bed would be nice - no one here I can't be laid there today - throw me out What would I do without pain, go with out Keep going they're hot on your heels The longer you rest now the harder it feels Nobody will open the door Even your friends won't know you no more |
Toxic Shadows Blackness sliding everywhere You took the train to come undaunted Cause it can't be late Toxic shadows in the air You find your own with a compulsion Now it's too late Tell me how'd you'd like to be Then I'd listen and then I'd see With nowhere left to go inside of you Would you know what should be done Lying, dying in the sun Praying for the rising of the moon Uhhh ... I smell coal dust in your hair You who bakes in a house of fire With your feeling finger Take my hard rock, put it there Ooh babe, just a little bit higher Tell me you'd like to be Then I'd listen and then I'd see With no where left to go inside of you Wouldn't you know what should be done As you laying, dying in the sun The ragged crows close in the afternoon I smell coal dust in your hair You who bakes in a house of fire With your feeling finger Take my hard rock, put it there Ooh babe, just a little bit higher Tell me you'd like to be Then I'd listen and then I'd see With no where left to go inside of you Wouldn't you know what should be done As you laying, dying in the sun The ragged crows close in the afternoon |
Free Baby Hey baby - would you stop those stupid games that you are playing Hey baby is - it lies or is it true What they are saying When you're on your own you play around Set me free Hey baby - is it mine or someone else's bed you're sleep tonight Tell me baby, if it's someone else, make sure that he will treat you right When you're on your own you play around Set me free Uhhh ... uuuuh ... Hey baby, is it mine or someone else's bed you're sleep tonight Tell me baby, if it's someone else, make sure that he will treat you right When you're on your own you play around Set me free Set me free Set me free Set me free Babe Set me free Babe |
Baby You're a Liar Truly you're the sweetest thing I have ever seen You make me glean the crazy side of love You're the one who can make me, shake me Long before my time is due Move it in the back and slide it from above But I know a game or two you play Baby, baby you're a liar and I fell for you Baby I couldn't get no higher without seeing through you Baby now you've gone away from me it's all over, bar the crying Now I've had the time to think about where I went wrong I know I'd run a mile to do it all once more Spending lonely nights with someone that I know I'll never love Wishing things was like they were before But I've gotten wiser to you, babe Baby, babe I'm a liar and I fell I for you Baby, couldn't get no higher with you - no, no, no Baby, now you've gone away from me It's all over, don't bother waiting |
In the Time of Job When Mammon Was a Yippie In the time of Job when Joseph was a chippy All the sons of Pharaoh's were kings The word was passed around that Mammon was a yippie And papin had to learn a few things First there was a light coming out from Moses And Abraham was playing the stooge With pilot on the right and Mary and her roses Had a reputation to lose Oh my dozy rosie eyes Screw me I'm a tuba Free as a beanstalk Coogan flipped for, get down on your knees and love and love the man Mary said to Joe there ain't no play that's easy You want to see them fall for the tricks All we got to do is let them take it easy And make like he's working for kicks When they know job got up, the boss is in Ginea Knew they had a fish on the hook Went calling all the boys And sold them the idea To write the story down in a book Oh my dozy rosie eyes Screw me I'm a tuba Free as a beanstalk Coogan flipped for, get down on your knees and love And love the man Oh my dozy rosie eyes Screw me I'm a tuba Free as a beanstalk Coogan flipped for, get down on your knees and love And love the man In the time of Job when Joseph was a chippy All the sons of Pharaoh's were kings The word was passed around that Mammon was a yippie And papin had to learn a few things |
