1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
Hurrah, I awake from yesterday Alive, but the war is here to stay So my love, Catherina and me, decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea Not to die but to reborn, away from lands so battered and torn Forever, forever
Oh say, can you see it’s really such a mess Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things, Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red as our feet find the sand, and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead
Well it’s too bad that our friends, can’t be with us today Well it’s too bad ‘The machine, that we built, would never save us’, that’s what they say (That’s why they ain’t coming with us today) And they also said “it’s impossible for a man to live and breathe under water, forever”, was their main complaint And they also threw this in my face, they said: “Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God, and the grace of the King” (grace of the King) (Yeah, yeah)
So my darling and I make love in the sand, to salute the last moment ever on dry land Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style(oooh)...
For fifty years they’ve been married They can’t wait for their fifty first To roll around, yeah, roll around. For thirty years they’ve been married And now they’re old and happy And they settle down, ha ha Settle down, yeah. For twenty years they’ve been married And they did everything that could be done You know, they have their fun.
And then you come along and talk about it: “So you, you say you wanna be married, I’m gonna change your mind. Oh, gotta change it.” That was the good side baby Here comes the best side. For ten years they’ve been married A thousand kids went around homeless ‘Cause their Mom was a louse Daddy’s down at the wiskey house. That ain’t all, For three years they’ve been married They don’t get along so good, They’re tired of each other. You know how that goes, She got another lover. Hah, same old thing. So now you’re seventeen You run around hangin’ out And having your fun Life for you has just begun baby.
And then you come sayin’: “So you, you say you wanna be married. Oh, baby, tryin’ to put me on a chain Ain’t that some shame? You must be losin’ your weak little mind. I ain’t ready to get married, I ain’t ready. I’m gonna change your mind. Ooh, look out baby. Auh, I ain’t ready to get tied down I ain’t ready, I ain’t ready now Let me live a little while longer Let me live, let me live a little while longer So I can finish talking, Let me get back to my groooove . . .
Well there ain’t no, ain’t no Ain’t no telling baby When you will see me again But I pray it will be tomorrow Well the sunrise, sunrise Is burning my eyes babe Well now I must leave now But I really hope to see you tomorrow Well my house (not sure about the lirics!!!!) The feeling there always (not sure about the lirics!!!!) Oh Cleopatra, she’s driving me insane She’s tryin’ to put my body in her brain So listen, kiss me goodbuy just sort of easily
Ain’t no, ain’t no Ain’t no telling baby, ain’t no telling baby, ain’t no telling baby When you’re gonna see me But I really hope it will be tomorrow You know what I’m talkin’ about Anyway, must leave now . . .
"There must be some kind of way out of here," said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that and this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"
All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl
Angel came down from heaven yesterday She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday, about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea And then she spread her wings high over me She said she’s gonna come back tomorrow And I said ‘fly on my sweet Angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet Angel, tomorrow I’m gonna be by your side’
Sure enough this morning came unto me Silver wings silhouetted against the child’s sunrise And my Angel she said unto me ‘today is the day for you to rise, take my hand, you’re gonna be my man, you’re gonna rise’ And then she took me high over younder (Lord)
And I said ‘fly on my sweet Angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet Angel, forever I will be by your side’
If you can just get your mind together uh-then come on across to me We'll hold hands and then we'll watch the sunrise from the bottom of the sea But first, are you experienced? Uh-have you ever been experienced-uh? Well, I have
(Well) I know, I know, you'll probably scream and cry that your little world won't let you go But who in your measly little world, (-uh) are you tryin' to prove to that you're made out of gold and-uh, can't be sold So-uh, are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? (-uh) Well, I have Uh, let me prove it to you, yeah
Trumpets and violins I can-uh, hear in the distance I think they're callin' our name Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will, ha-ha, if you just take hold of my hand Ohhh, but are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced?
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful
Well, I’m up here in this womb I’m looking all around (hmm, hmm, hmm) Well, I’m looking out my Belly Button Window And I see a whole lot of frowns And I’m wondering if they don’t want me around
What seems to be the fuss out there? Just what seems to be the hang? ’Cause you know if ya just don’t want me this time around, yeah I’ll be glad to go back to Spirit Land And even take a longer rest, before I’m coming down the chute again Man I sure remember the last time, baby, they were still hawkin’ about me then So if you don’t want me now, make up your mind, where or when If you don’t want me now, give or take, you only got two hundred days ’Cause I ain’t coming down this way too much more again
You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills, but I think you’re just a little too late So I’m coming down into this world, Daddy, regardless of love and hate And I’m gonna sit up in your bed, Mama (huh), and just a-grin right in your face And then I’m gonna eat up all your choclates (huh), and say ‘I hope I’m not too late’
So if there’s any questions, make up your mind ’Cause you better give or take questions in your mind Give it a take, you only got two hundred days
Way up into this womb, looking all around Sure’s dark in here! And I’m looking out my Belly Button Window And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns And I’m wondering if they want me around . . .
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted, they quietly understand Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready, but wonder why the fight is on But they’re all bold as love, yes, they’re all bold as love yeah, they’re all bold as love Just ask the Axis
My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria Orange is young, full of daring, but very unsteady for the first go round My yellow in this case is not so mellow In fact I’m trying tosay it’s frightened like me And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh, giving my life to a rainbow like you Well I’m eh, yeah, I’m bold as love Yeah, yeah Well I’m bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl) I’m bold as love Just ask the Axis (he knows everything) Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah
The morning is dead and the day is too There’s nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon All my loneliness I have felt today It’s a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, alone
Now the smiling portrait of you is still hanging on my frowning wall It really doesn’t, it really doesn’t bother me too much at all It’s just the eh ever falling dust that makes it so hard for me to see That forgotten earring laying on the floor Facing coldly towards the door And I continue to burn the Midnight Lamp, all alone Burn! Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely, lonely Loneliness is such a drag!
So here I sit to face that same old fireplace Getting ready for the same old explosion Going through my mind And soon enough the time will tell About the circus in the wishing well And someone who will buy and sell for me Someone who will toll my bell And I continue to burn the same old lamp, alone Yeah Darling, can you hear me calling you? So lonely Gotto blow my mind Yeah, yeah Lonely, lonely . . .
Can you see me, yeah, begging you on my knees? Oh yeah, can you see me, baby? Baby please don’t leave, alright If you can see me doing that You can see in the future of a thousand years.
Down the street you can hear her scream ‘you’re a discrace’, as she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside and all the neighbours start to gossip and drool He cries ‘oh girl, you must be mad, what happened to the sweet love you and me had?’ Against the door he leans and starts a scene, and his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little Indian brave, who before he was ten played war games in the woods with his Indian friends And he built a dream that when he grew up he would be a fearless warrior Indian Chief Many moons passed and more the dream grew strong, until tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand, melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown ‘cause she was crippled for life, and she couldn’t speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living, so she decided to die She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore, and to her legs she smiled ‘you won’t hurt me no more’ But then a sight she’d never seen made her jump and say, ‘Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way’ And it really didn’t have to stop, it just kept on going
And so castles made of sand, slips into the sea, eventually
People talkin' but they just don't know, What's in my heart, and why I love you so. I love you baby like a miner loves gold. Come on sugar, let the good times roll. (Let the good times roll).
So many people live in make believe, They keep a lot a going up their sleeves. But my love baby is no kind that folds. Come On Baby, let the good times roll. (Let the good times roll).
Lead
A love is nice if it's understood. It's even nicer when you're feelin' good. You got me flippin' like flag on a pole. Come on sugar, let the good times roll.
You don’t need me You just wanna bleed me, So take out your dagger and cut me free, cut me free, cut me free, Hey, you don’t love me girl, you just try to suffocate me . . . You don’t love me, hey look at ya, all lovey-dovey when you, mess around with that needle . . . As long as you’re gonna be all messed up, I don’t give a damn, Slow down, slow down, slow down, bang bang, shoot shoot, As long as you’re your silly self, I don’t give a hoot.
You jump in front of my car when you, you know all the time that ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive. You tell me it's alright, you don't mind a little pain. You say you just want me to take you for a ride.
You're just like CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, so hard to get through to you. CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, I don't need to run over you. CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, all you do is slow me down and I'm tryin' to get on the other side of town.
I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run, tire tracks all across your back, uh-huh, I can see you had your fun. But a darlin', can't you see my signals turn from green to red and with you I can see a traffic j am straight up ahead.
You're just like CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, so hard to get through to you. CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, I don't need to run over you. CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC, all you do is slow me down and I got better things on the other side of town.

The rest of the world he went on to see. And everybody knows, boss, A rolling stone gathers no moss. Now you’d probably call him a tramp, But it goes a little deeper than that He’s a Highway Chile. Yeah!
Now some people say He had a girl that moaned. Who messed around and did him pretty wrong. They tell me it gotta hurt him bad. Gotta made him feel pretty sad. I couldn’t say what went through his mind (not sure about the lirics!!!!) Anyway, he left the world behind And everybody knows the same old story In another war you can loose your glory (not sure about the lirics!!!!) Now you probably call him a tramp, But I know it goes a little deeper than that He’s a Highway Chile. Walk on brother! Yeah!
His old guitar slung across his back His dusty boots is his Cadillac. Flamin’ hair just a-blowin’ in the wind. Ain’t seen a bed in so long it’s a sin.

Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red Someone’s house is burning down down down down down down down . . . Well, I asked my friend, ‘Where is that black smoke coming from?’ He just coughed and changed the subject and said, ‘Oh well, I think it might snow some.’ So I left him sipping his tea, And I jumped in my chariot and rode off to see Just why and who could it be this time. Sisters and brothers, daddies, mothers standing round cryin’. When I reached the scene the flames were making a gostly whine So I stood on my horse’s back And I screamed without a crack I said: “Oh baby why did you burn your brother’s house down?” Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Someone’s house is burning down down down down Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Someone’s house is burning down down down down down . .
Well, someone stepped from the croud He was nineteen miles high He shouts, “We’re tired and disgusted, So we paint red through the sky.” I said, “The truth is straight ahead So don’t burn yourself instead Try to learn instead of burn Hear what I say.” So I finally rode away But I’ll never forget that day ’Cause when I reached the valley I looked down across the way A giant boat from space landed with eerie grace And came and taketh all the dead away. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! What do I say? Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Someone’s house is burning down down down down Look at the sky turn a hell-fire red, Lord Someone’s house is burning down down down down Look at the sky . . .

White-collar conservatives flashing down the street Pointing their plastic finger at me. They’re hoping soon my kind will drop and die, But I’m gonna wave my freak flag high . . . HIGH!

Excuse me while I see if that gypsy in me is right If you don’t mind. Well, he signals me okay So I think it’s safe to say I’m gonna make a play

Little Miss Strange, come into my parlor. I don't know just what to ask her, I don't remember what we did after. Little Miss Strange, little Miss Strange.
Little Miss Strange, came out of the darkness, walked across my head and stood beneath the lights. I'm talkin'bout the dream I had the other night. Little Miss Strange, Little Miss Strange.
Well she's walking through the clouds with a circus mind that's running wild Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairly tales,
That's all she ever thinks about...
Riding the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me with a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright, she says, it's alright, Take anything you want from me, anything.
Fly on, little wing.

Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away
So down and down and down and down and down and down we go Hurry my darling we mustn’t be late for the show Neptune champion games to an aqua world is so very dear ‘Right this way!’ smiles a mermaid I can hear Atlantis full of cheer Atlantis full of cheer, I can hear Atlantis full of cheer
She’s just a night bird flying through the night She’s just a night bird making her midnight, midnight flight She’s flying down to me, but tomorrow I got to set her free, set her free
So all we got baby is one precious night All we got is one precious night Throw your blues and shoes and things and rings down under the bed Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings, you better hear what I say Please take me through your dreams Inside your world I want to be Until tomorrow no tears will be shed Hold on till the sun gets out of bed Sail on, sail on, sail on . . .
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had Not too long ago. Misty blue and lilac too, Never to grow old. There you were under the tree of song, Sleeping so peacefully. In your hand a flower played, Waiting there for me.
I have never laid eyes on you, Not before this timeless day. But you woke and you smiled my name, And you stole my heart away . . . stole my heart away.
Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had Not too long ago. Misty blue and lilac too, Never to grow old. Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had. Misty blue and lilac too. Gold and rose, the color of the dream I had. Misty blue and lilac too. Gold and rose, gold and rose, gold and rose . . .
It’s only a dream, but I’d love to tell somebody about this dream. The sky was filled with a thousand stars, While the sun kissed the mountains blue. And eleven moons played across the rainbows Above me and you. Gold and rose, the color of the velvet walls that surrounds us.

Rainy Day, Dream Away, let the sun take a holiday Flowers bathe and-eh see the children play Lay back and groove on a Rainy Day Well I can see a bunch of wet preachers, look at them on the run! The carnival traffic noise, it sinks to a splashing Even the ducks can groove, rain bathing in the parkside pool And I’m leaning out my window sill digging everything, and-eh you too!
Rainy day, rain all day Ain’t no use in gettin’ uptight Just let it groove its own way Let it drain your worries away Lay back and groove on a rainy day (hey) Lay back and dream on a rainy day
There's a red house over yonder, that's wnere my baby stays. Lord, there's a red house over yonder, Lord, that's where my baby stays. I ain't been home to see my baby in ninety-nine and one half days.
Wait a minute, something's wrong here, the key won't unlock this door. Wait a minute, something's wrong, Lord, have mercy, this key won't unlock this door, something's goin' on here. I have a bad bad feeling that my baby don't live here no more.
Well, I might as well a go back over yonder, way back up on the hill, that 's something to do. Lord, I might as well go back over yonder, way back yonder cross the hill . 'Cos if my baby don't love me no more I know her sister will.
Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun. He used to sing for his supper, baby. Yes, he used to sing for his dinner, babe, he used to sing so sweet. Since my baby left me he ain't sang in two long days.
Oh, remember the bluebirds and the honey bees, they used to sing for the sunshine. Yes, they used to sing for the honey, babe, they used to sing so sweet. But a since my baby left me they ain't sang in two long days.
Hey, pretty baby, come on back to me. Make everybody happy as can be.
So baby, if you'll please, come home again. You know I'll kiss you for my supper, yeh. You know I'll kiss you for my dinner, babe, now. But a if you don't come back you know I'll have to starve to death 'cos I ain't had a kiss all day now, all day.
Please, remember, got to remember, yeh, got to remember, oh Lord. Come on back, come back in my arms, I'll make everything that better. Let me tell ya now. Can't you hear me call you, baby, now? Come on, baby, stop jiving around. Hurry home, hurry home.
I used to live in a Room Full of Mirrors All I could see was me Then I take my spirit and I smash my mirrors And now the whole world is here for me to see Now I’m searching for my love to be
A broken glass was solvin’ my brain Cut and screamin’ crowdin’ in my head A broken glass was loud in my brain It used to fall on my dreams and cut me in my bed It used to fall on my dreams and cut me in my bed I say making love was strange in my bed
It’s very far away It takes about a half a day to get there If we travel by my dragonfly No it’s not in Spain But all the same you know It has a groovy name And the wind’s just right HEY! Hang on my darling Hang on if you wanna go You know it’s a groovy (not sure about the lirics!!!!) It’s just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic
The clouds are really low And they overflow The cotton candy and battlegrounds Red and drown But it’s all in your mind Don’t think your time On bad things Just float your little mind around LOOK OUT! Hang on my darling Hang on if you wanna go It’s just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic It’s all in your mind
Hang on my darling Hang on, hang on if you wanna go It’s just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic A little bit of Spanish Castle Magic It’s all in your mind A little bit of daydreamin’ here and there Everything’s gonna be alright
I sure got the blues this morning, baby Yeah! And I’m here to tell you about it So you might as well pick up on it! I’m a man At least I’m tryin’ to be I’ve lived before The other half of me I’ve lived before That you don’t want me But in this search For nothing desperately Oh I’m tryin’ tryin’ Not to be a fool I’m tryin’ tryin’ Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin’ so hard to keep it together.
After I find, baby That true love of mine I’m just rollin’ screamin’ Cryin’ flyin’ Can’t be- Trusted, but busted Rolling Stone-
You’re a woman At least you say you are You’re a woman At least you look like you are You’re a woman At least you taste like you are But you can take it off In bed with my guitar And then you leave them Throw me outside To cry, cry To the moon and the nighttime Save my soul, You can’t find All you want is a tiket to ride. After you show me everything It did prove otherwise You just rollin’, screamin’, cryin’ good love is sometime, but can’t be trusted Steppin’ Stone Steppin’ Stone Steppin’ Stone
Every day in the week I'm in the pit of the city If I stay too long The people try to pull me down They talk about me like a dog Talk about the clothes I wear But they don't realize They're the one's who's square Hey That's why you can't hold me down I don't want to be down I got to move on
CHORUS: Stone Free To do what I please Stone Free To ride the breeze Stone Free I can dare I got to Got to Got to get away Right now Yeah
Alright Listen to this Baby Women here Women there Try to keep me in a plastic cage But they don't realize It's so easy to break Oh But I sometimes I just I just feel my heart kinda running hot That's when I got to move Before I get caught Hey That's why Listen to me Baby You can't hold me down I don't wanna be tied down I got to be free Oh I said
CHORUS:
Yeah Turn me loose Baby
SOLO
Yeah said Stone Free To ride the breeze Stone Free To do what I please Stone Free I can't stay Stone Free Got to Got to Got to get away Stone Free I'm Stone Free Right now Stone Free Don't try to hold me back
After all the jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness staggering on down the street footsteps dressed in red And the wind whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife And the wind, it cries Mary
The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow and shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island sags down stream 'cause the life that lived is, is dead And the wind screams Mary
Uh-will the wind ever remember the names it has blow in the past? And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom it whispers no, this will be the last And the wind cries Mary

Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. Over.
I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called
the sun. Over.
You mean its the Earth? Over.
Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species. Over.
I think we should take a look.
{intro slowwed down talking ends}
Strange beautiful grass of green, with your majestic silver seas Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer May I land my kinky machine?
{start slowwed down}
Strange beautiful, grass of green
with your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
{end slowwed down}
Although your world wonders me, with your majestic and superior cackling hen Your people I do not understand, so to you I shall put an end And you'll never hear surf music again

I am your trash man- Throw out all your trash today- Clean out your mind today- Please pass the weed and please take some heed. Take your fast glass guns and throw them away. There he goes, Hey I just the Gypsy Bandit.
Gypsy talk- She has been here 3 times and the 4th time, she was emptied in from the mouth of a Bottle. Seems like I seen you somewhere before- And her dog named pig had a red neck shaped just like a cracker dipped in rot hole.
Address 3rd trash can from the left. That’s where I’ll be- Just take all your blues and throw them at my feet. -Oh that’s what friends are for. Yes I sing the blues for me and you. Let me do changes and come back and tell you. So it won’t be so hard when it’s time for you to go through.
Anything is possible after an embarrassing situation-
And once you take but all that rubbish and hate and- load it on my truck. But don’t make me work late- I am your trashman- And don’t forget I also want to live- not just survive- I ain’t your Black Slave- Just because I just might try to wash out your mind- It’s up to your friend- To get up off your rusty behind.
And please pass me the peace weed, and take some heed- Throw all that mixed up speed away- All that dirt is gonna clog and hurt- man you reach 100 years old in a day- I am your trashman- I am your trashman- I come to keep your houses clean. I am the trashman- Take out all your Dirty Blues and dreams- Well when I come around to collect for the Bill, that’s when I come around for my pleasure kill...
I am the trashman You must have seen me in your T.V. I’m here to clean up- All your hang ups or come downs, I’m gonna kill... That’s my duty. So please don’t try to make me crawl up no hill.
May I whisper in your ear... Say something you ought to hear... Lots of people so dear they’re getting hurt...
I just want to talk to you I won’t do you no harm I just want to know about your different lives on this here people farm I heard some of you got your families living in cages tall and cold And some just stay there and dust away past the age of old Is this true? Please let me talk to you I just want to know about the rooms behind your minds Do I see a vacuum there Or am I going blind? Or is it just the remains from vibrations and echoes long ago Things like “Love the World” and “Let your fancy flow” Is this true? Please let me talk to you Let me talk to you I have lived here before the days of ice And of course this is why I’m so concerned And I come back to find the stars misplaced And the smell of a world that has burned The smell of a world that has burned Yeah, well, maybe, maybe it’s just a change of climate Oh I can dig it, I can dig it baby I just wanna see.
So where do I purchase my ticket? I’d just like to have a ringside seat I wanna know about the new Mother Earth I wanna hear and see everything I wanna hear and see everything I wanna hear and see everything . . . Yeah! Ah shucks, If my daddy could see me now.
Voodoo Chile
(Slight Return)
Well, I stand up next to a mountain and I chop it down with the edge of my hand. Well, I stand up next to a mountain, chop it down with the edge of my hand. Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island, might even raise just a little sand. 'Cause I'm a voodoo chile, Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile, baby.
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time, I'll give it right back to you one of these days. I said I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time, I'll give it right back one of these days. And if I don't meet you no more in this world then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one and don't be late, don't be late. 'Cause I'm a voodoo chile, voodoo chile, Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile, hey hey hey. I'm a voodoo chile, baby.
Well, I’m standing here freezing inside your golden garden I got my ladder leaned up against your wall Tonight’s the night we plan to run away together Come on Dolly Mae, there’s no time to stall But now you’re telling me that ah . . . I think we better wait till tomorrow
Oh, Dolly Mae, girl you must be insane So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane. Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree CLICK BANG what a hang Your daddy just shot poor me And I hear you say, as I fade away We don’t have to wait till tomorrow
