Goin' to a party,
Meet me out after school. Well we're goin' to a place Where the jive is really cool. And if the band stops playin' There's a jukebox in the hall. With your blue dress on, And your folks all gone. You'll sure give the guys a ball. Chorus: Get that real guitar boy shakin', I'm a California man, Dance right on till the floors are breakin' I'm a California man. Well I cross my mamma so bad And this woman she's making me mad. So I don't care if your legs start aching, I'm a California man. I'm a California man. Oh my legs start to shiver When I hear you call my name. Well, my knees keep a knocking, And I'm feeling tired bugs me down. An' when we take off fine, An' my jeans are way down low. When I waggle my hips It's making me feel like a king of rock n' roll Chorus |

Saw the folks down below crying
Heard them on the radio lying Distant bells in the air Ringing out do they hear? Do they know it's growing very near? Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time Saw the transmitter sway slowly Saw it crash in the lane coldly Saw the seas rushing in To the coast now they've seen Now they know it's growing very near Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time Saw them gather in slow motion Setting sail on the tired ocean Heard the clouds rolling by Shouting down from the sky Hear them speak their last goodbye Everybody sitting here They don't realize They've got no time No time |

That's the road it's over there
And leading down to nowhere, This is the age when your allowed to have your own care, If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead Instead of waiting till you're old in your bed. Chorus: I'll be over tonight, if you say you might, I'll be over tonight, need to put you right. I'm so used to waiting that's entirely your decision Don't be restricted by the weightless views you're given. If you were half so bright you'd fight them from your head Instead of saving till your young heart be dead. Chorus: I'll be over tonight, if you say you might, I'll be over tonight, need to put you right. Well, the note you wrote in your overcoat, And you don't want to take it too far, oh I think you won't But I know you don't, but you always say that you are. Never let the riches that my endless (need) will give you, Show some concern for all the love that you must live through, If you were half so bright you'd plan your life ahead, Instead of waiting till you're old in your bed. Chorus |

Played too hard and he died too young
To be certain of earning his (burnt out/word of? ) love He won a place in history And his name will live eternally Lived the life of a movie star And he waved to the people from a big black car Down in a book with the greatest names Was a lonely man growing tired of pain Tell me a story minister There ain't no time left to lose Ten man tried in the dead of night Was the great man's final words to write In a room that was soft and red The great man spoke outside my head Tell me a story minister There ain't no time left to lose |

Ahh...
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides I've seen pigs all sittin' watching picture slides But I never seen nothing like you Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums But I never heard nothin' like you In the country where the sky touches down on the field She lay her down to rest in the morning sun They come a-runnin' just to get a look Just to feel to touch her long black hair They don't give a damn Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Well I think you understand what I'm trying to say woman That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day I've seen enough of the world to know, baby That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life (woman) Do ya do ya want my love (I'm saying) Do ya do ya want my face (I need it) Do ya do ya want my mind Do ya do ya want my life Do ya do ya want my love Do ya do ya want my face Do ya do ya want my mind Look out baby there's a plane a comin' |

Maybe the years have told you
Do you remember when life was just a new day? You know the story don't you? The one you told me when life was drifting away Aah! look at the brand new day Sitting here upon the milky way Aah! look at the dancing girls Sitting holding hands across the world You got a brand new lady Just like the one you left down in some other place Reading all the letters Saw your face coming through on the ouija board Look at the brand new day Sitting here upon the milky way Aah! look at the dancing girls Sitting holding hands across the world You heard the words of Aaron He spoke the truth in these things both great and small If you throw away the ashes You sweep them over the world on your own accord If you knew the real answer You'd see the kind of mistakes that you can't afford |

Bury a jar of shao-sing
When the girl is born Surely you know the wine will age Till she's fully grown Dont fly into the night Soon enough the world will end While the lantern is bright Chorus I could find a good time girl in chinatown Chinatown Dancing in my shoes See the eastern ladies walk in chinatown Chinatown Chain me down Chinatown Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea Then i'll hurry home Surely you know the likes of me Should be left alone Why they like a me for Soon enough the world will end If I answer the door Chorus Look at the tall pagoda through Through your window pane Watch me fly your dragon kite On a cold cold day Youll discover the white Orchids in my humble home While the lantern is bright Chorus |

Here the roar a coming
Here the roar a coming Here the roar a coming now Got news for your mother Got news for your mother Got news for your mother tonight Sister I have touched the evergreen And I promise that it's life should go unseen Now it saves the birds upon the fire And the message from the country rises higher Hear the birdie calling Hear the birdie calling Hear the birdie calling for life Message from the country Message from the country Message from the country rising high Sister I have touched the evergreen And I promise that it's life should go unseen Now it saves the birds upon the fire And the message from the country rises higher |
