I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope It's a circus game with you and me. I'm up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre But the tophat on my head is all you see. And the wire seems to be the only place for me A comedy of errors and I'm falling Like a rubber neck giraffe, you look into my past Well, baby you're just to blind to see. I'm up in the spotlight, oh does it feel right The altitude seems to really get to me. I'm up on the tightwire linked by life and the funeral pyre Putting on a show for you to see. |

Well I'm going down, Going down a hard road
Just don't know, don't know where I've been But I think I've been walking, I'm walking round in circles Can't even find a friend Woah, my love, my love she's not waiting Think I might've been gone, I've been gone too long People make me crazy I can hardly sing my song Hustlers stand around me, I'm lost and all alone Can't tell the bad from the good I'm lost ins the woods, I'm lost in the woods Big city gamblers, gamblers take my money Yes it gets to be useless, yes it's useless to me And I think I'm lost, when I'm lost inside this jungle Can't see the forest for the tress Well pretty little woman come and get me Try me, try me one more time Yes and your sweet, your sweet understanding Cant' fix this broken heart of mine The vultures fly around, come and take me home Can't tell the bad from the good I'm out in the woods, I'm lost in the woods I'm a man gone crazy in the woods I'm wandering around the bush |

Woah, mama catch a little fishy, Papa catch two
Well, back in the bayou it's-a fishin' time Workin' together on a bottle of wine We'll go down toThibodeaux tonight **Chorus** Go roun', go roun', lil' Alice Bluegown We'll soon be together on the bayou sundown We'll jaw jambalaya, and sing all night long Me and my baby and a cajun love song Now I can remember when Alice first came From Lake Charles to see me at Ponchetrain But my heart beats slower when she not around The best things in life not the same **Chorus** Go roun', go roun', lil' Alice Bluegown We'll soon be together on the bayou sundown We'll jaw jambalaya, and sing all night long Me and my baby and a cajun love song Sometimes I get lonely and I'm hurtin' inside When my Alice can't understand Like a dancer I saw in New Orlean' one time She makes me feel just like a man **Chorus** Go roun', go roun', lil' Alice Bluegown We'll soon be together on the bayou sundown We'll jaw jambalaya, and sing all night long Me and my baby and a cajun love song **instrumental** **Chorus** Go roun', go roun', lil' Alice Bluegown We'll soon be together on the bayou sundown We'll jaw jambalaya, and sing all night long Me and my baby and a cajun love song |

I'm up in Oakland on a Saturday night
Lord, I said I just didn't feel right Goodnight, ladies all around But the right one hadn't found me such a bad night I didn't feel right Then a friend came over 'fore it got too late Asked me if I'd like you as a double date My stars above, I fell in love With the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Yeah, the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Now Queenie's a lady, she's quite a child Oh, she'll make you feel fine Remember the time when a trucker from Dallas Was callous to Queenie with his rude side Now he can't deny, that he gotten much more, than balled before Queenie's right across, running to the floor Now he knows better than to mate With the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) The queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Oh, as fast as a bullet, she can jam all night Makes a full grown wonder bull die with fright When we get home, alone in love She murmurs like a sweet moaning dove, ooh Oh, such a lady, she's quite a child She'll make me feel good in this heart of mine She's my love, she's a lady She's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Ah, the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) I'm talkin' 'bout the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Yeah, she's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Oh, queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) She's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Ooh |

Can you get us in free,
My girlfriend and me, We like the songs, but we hate to pay. Can I have your guitar, Can I ride on your car, Can you give me a role to play? Can I have an autograph, Can I sit in your lap, Are you really into witchcraft like they say? Can I follow you home, Can I use your telephone, Can we crash here for just a few day? We're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. Oh, What was your name? You're someone I've seen. Has anyone said that you look like James Dean? Can I sit in your lap, Can I give you the clap? Can a rapper don't have much to say? Can I have your guitar, Can I ride on your car? Can you give me a role to play? Can I follow you home, Can I use your telephone? Can we crash here for just a few day, We're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. Ah ha! Can you do a benefit, Have you got any shit, Have you made your peace with Jesus yet today? Would you like to be a monk? C'mon lets go get drunk. Do you think Paul McCartney is okay? Can we crash here for just a few day? Ah, we're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. |

I was just thinking about you today
And the evening we slept in the mountains But I cannot get through to you, find words to say to you Darling you're so far away. Oh no I'm not crying these ain't tears in my eyes I'm so happy I'm dying with laughter If you'd only come over, I'm sure that you'd see, We're not lonesome, my cricket and me. Your picture reminds me I wanted to be free I hurt you I drove you away If you'd just come back over I'm sure that you'd see We're not lonesome, my cricket and me... |

Are we really happy with
This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Throughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason That we carry on this way We're lost in this masquerade We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade |

Standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side No place I want to go Just thought I'd hitch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the theives I'm a bandit The mothers I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm in prison By everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else Dying to go home The Generals sees a number A politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal In this world Magic Mirror won't you tell please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious It's in the way I look I'm just another character To feed and brand and book To the censor I'm pornography With no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer Without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise They'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quite reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would |
