The golden light about you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon You stand up on your hill and behop all around you They wonder where you're from oh yeah They wonder where I found you Oh my love it's a long way Where you're from it's a long way I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul And people ask me where you're from They really wanna know Oh my soul it's a long way Where you're from it's a long way Magic woman wreckin' up my soul Things you tell me have never been told Magic woman I don't know Electric before me I love you so I love you so You're racing like a fireball dancing like a ghost You're gemini and I don't know which one I like the most My head is getting broken and my mind is getting bust But now I'm coming with you down the road of golden dust Oh my love it's a long way Where you're from it's a long way |

Playing pool and drinking beer
Nothin more'n the occasional tear But this man's life goes on and he gets greased all over from time to time At the strip joint, where we met He said 'Hi, my name is Ted See that one over there That ball of thunder Every time she goes Vavoom, I wiggle in my chair Can I buy you a beer? What a guy 'I've had a few myself' he said 'But I never quit when I'm ahead Too many rules and regulations Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors And another thing I won't discuss is religion It always causes a fight Vavoom There she goes again 'How does she do that' said Ted And he told me of those unjustices (that) He had suffered in his life His wife and kids and boss and dogs and neighbours Raising cain and causing strife They were forever whining Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying Vavoom He fed them well He keep them warm Thing about Ted he didn't really care Nothing much got in his hair and the beauty of it was that he was right He was big as a truck and fast as a door (what's that?) he was always right The banjo player took a hike What's that song I used to like Vavoom He was big as a truck Fast as a door - Ted Ted the man our Ted |

Somebody's shouting
Up at a mountain Only my own words return Nobody's up there It's a deception When will I ever learn CHORUS: I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home Wondering blindly How can they find me Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking Anticipating The call of the black footed crow... Chorus Here in this prison Of my own making Year after day I have grown Into a hero But there's no worship Where have they hidden my thrown... Chorus |

Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright, I don't care to sit tight. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm free, free to be me. Black night is a long way from home. I don't need a dark tree, I don't want a rough sea, I can't feel, I can't see. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm free, free to be me. Black night is a long way from home. Black night, black night, I don't need black night, I can't see dark night. Maybe I'll find on the way down the line that I'm free, free to be me. Black night is a long way from home. |

Fly into the rising sun,
faces smiling ev'ryone. Oh, she is a whole new tradition, I feel it in my heart. My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see. My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me. Talk about her like a queen, dancing in an eastern dream. Oh, she makes me feel like a river that carries me away. My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see. My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me.. But I'm at home and I, I just don't belong. So far away from the garden we love, she is what moves in the soul of a dove. Soon I shall see just how black was the night, when we're alone in the city of light. Rising from the neon gloom, shining like a crazy moon. Oh, she turns me on like a fire, I get high. My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see. My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me.. |

Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long Maybe it's because I can see you laughing That I think you've got it wrong Maybe I could be like Robin Hood Like and outlaw dressed all in green Someone said what's he gonna turn out like And someone else said never mind Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old As all the cats I'd ever seen I grew my hair and bought a suit Of shiny white or was it cream I shook and shivered danced and quivered And stood on a mountain top No one came from miles around and said Man your music is really hot Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak My throat was tired and worn My pretty face just looked out of place As they poured on the scorn I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about He must've been the king of queens Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and there's another one for singers It's die young and live much longer Spend your money and sit and wonder No one came for miles around And said man your music is really funky I believe that I must tell the truth And say things as they really are But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth Could I ever be a star Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin' Everyone's shouting out loud It's only the glitter and shine that gets through Where's my Robin Hood outfit Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye No one ever cared enought to say goodbye The money's good and the time you have Fun and games galore But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten And you wonder what you did it for No one came from miles around And said man who's he? |

If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore. Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor. Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure. I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man and my world is pale. When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale. Had a friend once in a room, had a good time but it ended much too soon. In a cold month in that room we found a reason for the things we had to do. I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man, now my room is cold. When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul. |

Watch him ride into the sunset He'd have the little fat guy right along his side Echoing off the canyon, Hey Cisco from Pancho 'n' pretty soon the black sombrero would reply Hey Pancho what's happening mi amigo It's getting somewhere near the end, this winding trail When we've raced around the corner for the final dusty time Mr Renaldo 'n' Carillo's going to jail Can't open no more supermarkets Duncan's sombrero's hanging up there with his guns Some cigarro sucking slag under a chip Hollywood chandelier Says 'Cisco, Kid you know your day is done Let me know how you are doin' Mr Renaldo if you need me I could be a friend for life There don't seem any point ...we should throw 'way all these years Why don't we saddle up and ride out one more time What they doing to my friend What they doing to my man Don't matter when I'll stay to the end Hey Cisco Let's go out in style We're going down together |

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty When she was rockin' to the east and west Lucille was oh so real When she didn't do her daddies will Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing I'm a speed king see me fly Saturday night and I just got paid Gonna fool about ain't gonna save Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll Gonna have a party to save my soul Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man They been causing trouble since it all began Take a little rice take a little beans Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans [repeat first two stanzas in inverse order] |

We all came out to Montreux
on the Lake Geneva shoreline to make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water And fire in the sky Smoke on the water They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water And fire in the sky Smoke on the water 간주 We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside making our music there With a few red lights, a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water And fire in the sky Smoke on the water |

While you were out... the message says You left a number and I tried to call But they wrote it down in a perfect Spanish scrawl in a perfect Spanish scrawl Yet again I'm missing you King size bed (in a) hotel someplace I hear your name I see your face I see your face (The) back street dolls and the side door johnnies The wide eyed boys with their bags full of money Back in the alley going bang to the wall Tied to the tail of a midnight crawl Heaven wouldn't be so high I know if the times gone by hadn't been so low The best laid plans come apart at the seams and shatter all my dreams Sometimes I feel like... Screaming close my eyes It's times like this my head goes down and the only thing I know is the name of this town is the name of this town Yet again I'm missing you won't be long O' coming home Until that distant time I'll be moving on I'll be moving on |

I'm crying I'm dying
I can see what's wrong with me It's in my head I can see what's gonna be As I lie in my bed Man is not my brotherhood I am of the dead I died as I lived as I loved and was born On some distant hill The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried Fools pass laughing still There can be bad blood in all I can see It's in my brain You don't know the pain I feel As I must live again Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but Tears will leave a stain They smile to themselves as they lay down my head On some distant hill The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye Fools smile as they kill I got my own way to go and now I want To take your minds I believe if you could see The blood between the lines I believe that you could be A better kind Please lead the way so the unborn can play On some greener hill Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains Fools die laughing still |
