Oh let the sun beat down upon my face,
And stars fill my dreams.
I'm a traveller of both time and space,
To be where I have been.
To sit with elders of a gentle race,
This world has seldom seen.
They talk of days for which they sit and wait,
All will be revealed.

Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace,
Sounds caress my ear.
And not a word I heard could I relate,
The story was quite clear.

Ooh baby I've been blind,
Oh yeah mama in your denying.
Ooh yes I been blind,
Mama, ain't no denying.

All I see turns to brown,
As the sun burns the ground.
And my eyes fill with sand,
As I scan this wasted land.
Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh pilot of the storm who leaves no trace,
Like sorts inside a dream,
Leave the path the led me to that place,
Yellow desert stream.
Like Shangri-la beneath the summer moon,
I will return again,
As the dust that floats finds you,
Will move and search Kashmir.

Oh father of the four winds fill my sails,
Cross the sea of years.
With no provision but an open face,
Along the straits of fear.

Oh when I walk, when I'm on my way,
When I see, when I see the way to stay.
But I'm down.
But I'm down, so down.
Ooh my baby,
Ooh my baby,
Let me take you there.

Grease me down,
Good electric.
Like the way you hold the road,
Mama it ain't no sin.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Trouble free transmission,
Helps your oil flow.
Mama let me pump your gas,
Mama let me do it all.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Take that heavy metal,
Underneath your hood.
Baby I could rev all night,
Leave a big pile of tubes.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Automobile club covered,
Really built in style.
Special tradition,
Mama let me feast my eyes.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Factory air conditioned,
Took me by surprise.
Guaranteed to run for hours,
Mama brand new tires.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Grooving on the freeway,
Driving on the road.
From now on my gasoline
Will even be free of lead.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Come to me for service,
Every hundred miles.
Baby let me change your valves,
Fix your overdrive.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Fully automatic,
Comes in any size,
Makes me wonder what I did,
Before I got synchronized.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Baby like suspension,
I just couldn't hold.
I'm so glad I took a look,
Inside you showroom door.

Talking about love.
Talking about love.
Talking about.

Well, well.
Ho, ho, ho!
You said I was your only,
We've been livin' in your head,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ho.
Exhibition is your habit,
Emotion's second hand,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Had to pull away to save me,
Maybe next time around.
Oh..., and she said, don't you wannit?
Don't you want cocai cocai cocai?
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to,
Try it, friend, na, na, na, na, yeah.

Whoo ooh ooh ooh,
Heard a cry for mercy,
In the city of the damned.
Oh oh babe, deep down.
Impossible to go lower,
The next stop's on the ground,
Oh, low on the ground.
You want to know is it quite over,
To fame and tears and losing hair.
And I said didn't mean to,
Did not [?mean to profit?].
If you can plan you are a brave man.

Do you wanna? Do you wanna do it?
Do it when you wanna.
Do you wanna? Do you wanna do it?
Do it when you wanna.

When you blow it babe,
You got to blow it right.
Oh baby, if you fake it mama,
Baby, fake with all your might.
When you fake it, mama,
Please fake it right, for yourself babe,
When you fa-fa-fa-fake it baby,
You're fakin' it for your life.
For your life.
For your life.
For your life.

Do it, do it, do it, do it,
Do it when you wanna.
Do it, do it, do it, do it,
Do it when you wanna.

Oh, I can help you baby,
But I don't know what to do, yeah.
Sometime baby, nothin' I could do.

Wanna find myself a crystal,
Payin' through the nose.
And when they couldn't resist you,
I sought to go with the flow.
And now your stage is empty,
But now the curtain baby, please,
Fold up your show.

Hadn't planned to
Could not stand to fry in it.
I hadn't planned it,
I over ran it, fryin,
For your life.
For your life.

Close the door put out the light,
You know they won't be home tonight.
The snow falls hard and don't you know,
The winds of Thor are blowing cold.

They're wearing steel that's bright and true.
They carry news that must get through.
They choose the path where no one goes.

They hold no quarter.
They hold no quarter.

Walking side by side with death,
The devil mocks their every step.
The snow drives back the foot that's slow,
The dogs of doom are howling more.

They carry news that must get through,
To build a dream for me and you.
They choose the path where no one goes.

They hold no quarter.
They ask no quarter.

Dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow.
I got my flower,
I got my power,
I got a woman who knows.

I said it's alright,
You know it's alright,
I guess it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident,
In the way you're wearing your clothes.
Sipping booze is precedent,
As the evening starts to glow.

You know it's alright,
I said it's alright,
You know it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

You told your mamma I'd get you home,
But you didn't say that I had no car.
I saw a lion he was standing alone,
With a tadpole in a jar.

You know it's alright,
I said it's alright,
I guess it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?

So dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow.
You are my flower,
You are my power,
And you are my woman who knows.

I said it's alright,
You know it's alright,
You know it's all in my heart.
You'll be my only,
My one and only,
Is that the way it should start?
I know it is.

If it keeps on raining,
Levee's going to break.
If it keeps on raining,
Levee's going to break.
When the levee breaks,
I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee,
Taught me to weep and moan.
Mean old levee,
Taught me to weep and moan.
Its got what it takes,
To make a mountain man leave his home.

Don't it make you feel bad,
When you're trying to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're going down South,
They got no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago.

Crying won't help you,
Praying won't do you no good.
Crying won't help you,
Praying won't do you no good.
When the levee breaks,
Mama you got to move.

All last night,
Sat on the levee and moaned.
All last night,
Sat on the levee and moaned.
Thinking about my baby,
And my happy home.

Going to Chicago.
Sorry but I can't take you.

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa the fun to have,
To live the dreams we've always had.
Whoa the songs to sing,
When we at last return again.

We swept New York a glancing kiss,
To those who claim they know.
Under the streets the steam and hiss,
The devil's in his hold.
Whoa to sail away,
Sandy lands and holidays.
Whoa to touch the dream,
Eyes inside have never seen yeah.

And to the sun the south the north,
Flocks of birds have flown.
The shackles of commitment fell,
In pieces on the ground.
Whoa to ride the wind,
To tread the air above the din.
Whoa to laugh aloud,
Dancing eyes above the crowd yeah.

Seek a man whose pointing hand,
A giant step unfolds.
Guide us from the curving path,
That churns up into stone.
If one bell should ring,
In celebration for a king.
So fast the heart should beat,
As proud for him [?he can't be beat?] yeah.

Days went by when you and I,
Bathed in eternal summer's glow.
It's far away and distant,
A mutual time to grow.
Whoa the sweet refrain,
Soothes the soul and calms the pain.
Oh I'll here remain,
Sleeping now to rise again.

Wandering and wandering,
One place to rest the search.
Where the mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the Earth.
Where the mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth.
From the earth.

I'm gonna reign, gonna reign, gonna reign.
I'm gonna reign, gonna reign, gonna reign.

Where the mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth.

I had a dream --
Crazy dream.
Anything I wanted to know,
Any place I needed to go.

Hear my song --
Sing along.
Any little song that you know,
Everything that's small has to grow.

California sunlight,
Sweet Calcutta rain,
Honolulu starbright --
The song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare,
Dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are,
Oh so bright,
As we go sliding sliding sliding through.

Then as it was,
Then again it will be.
Though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea.

Like stars of fortune,
Each has separate rays.
On the wings of maybe,
Down in birds of prey.
Kind of makes me feel sometimes,
I didn't have to grow.
But as the eagle leaves the nest,
He got so far to go.

Changes fill my time,
Baby that's all right with me.
In the midst I think of you,
And how it used to be.

Did you ever really need somebody?
And really need them bad.
Did you ever really want somebody?
The best love you ever had.
Do you ever remember me baby?
Did it feel so good.
Because it was just the first time,
And you knew you would.

Turn the eyes and I sparkle,
Senses growing keen.
Tasting love along the way,
See your feathers preen.
Kind of make you feel sometimes,
Didn't have to go.
We are eagles of one nest,
The nest is in our souls.

Vixen in my dreams,
With great surprise to me.
Never thought I'd see your face,
The way it used to be.
Oh darling, oh darling.

I'm never gonna leave you.
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone.

In my time of dying,
Want nobody to moan.
All I want for you to do,
Is take my body home.

Well well well so I can die easy.
Well well well so I can die easy.

Jesus got to make you shiver.
Jesus gonna make you.
Jesus gonna make you my dying bed.

Meet me Jesus meet me,
Meet me in the middle of the air.
If my wings should fail me lord,
Please meet me with another pair.

Well well well so I can die easy.
Well well well so I can die easy.

Jesus gonna make you somebody.
Jesus gonna make you.
Jesus gonna make you my dying bed.

Oh Saint Peter,
I can make amends,
Won't you let me in.
I never did no wrong,
I never did no wrong.

Oh Gabriel,
Let me blow your horn,
Let me blow your horn.
I never did no wrong,
Did no wrong.
I only can be young once.
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong,
No not once.

Oh I did somebody so good,
Somebody some good.
Oh did somebody some good,
I must have did somebody some good,
Oh I believe I did.
I seen the smiling faces.
I know I must have left some traces.

And I see them in the streets.
And I see them in the theater.
And I even felt my feet.
And I never tried to be real.
Oh lord deliver me,
All the wrongs I've done.
Oh you can deliver me lord,
I only wanted to have some fun.

Oh keep the angels marching,
Keep them marching,
Keep them marching,
Oh my Jesus...

That's got to be my Jesus.
It's got to be my Jesus.
Oh take me home.
Come on, come on.
I can hear the angels singing,
Here they come,
Bye bye.
Oh feels pretty good up here.
I'll touch Jesus.
I seen him,
Come on.
Oh don't you make it my dying dying dying.
