Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast So you grab a piece of something That you think is gonna last You wouldn't know a diamond If you held it in your hand The things you think are precious I can't understandAre you reelin' in the years Stowin' away the time Are you gatherin' up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reelin' in the years, Stowin' away the time Are you gatherin' up the tears Have you had enough of mineYou've been tellin' me you're a genius Since you were seventeen In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean The weekend at the college Didn't turn out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge I can't understandI spent a lot of money And I spent a lot of time The trip we made to Hollywood Is etched upon my mind After all the things we've Done and seen You find another man The things you think are useless I can't understand |

We hear you're leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run But if you have a change of heartRikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get homeI have a friend in town, he's heard your name We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row We could stay inside and play games, I don't know And you could have a change of heartRikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get homeYou tell yourself you're not my kind But you don't even know your mind And you could have a change of heartRikki, don't lose that number You don't wanna call nobody else Send it off in a letter to yourself Rikki, don't lose that number It's the only one you own You might use it if you feel better When you get homeRikki, don't lose that number (Rikki, don't lose that number) Rikki, don't lose that number |

This is the day
Of the expanding man That shape is my shade There where I used to stand It seems like only yesterday I gazed through the glass At ramblers Wild gamblers That's all in the pastYou call me a fool You say it's a crazy scheme This one's for real I already bought the dream So useless to ask me why Throw a kiss and say goodbye I'll make it this time I'm ready to cross that fine lineI'll learn to work the saxophone I'll play just what I feel Drink Scotch whisky all night long And die behind the wheel They got a name for the winners in the world I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon BluesMy back to the wall A victim of laughing chance This is for me The essence of true romance Sharing the things we know and love With those of my kind Libations Sensations That stagger the mindI crawl like a viper Through these suburban streets Make love to these women Languid and bittersweet I'll rise when the sun goes down Cover every game in town A world of my own I'll make it my home sweet homeThis is the night Of the expanding the man I take one last drag As I approach the stand I cried when I wrote this song Sue me if I play too long This brother is free I'll be what I want to be |

When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door And catch the grey men when they Dive from the fourteenth floor When Black Friday comes I'll collect everything I'm owed And before my friends find out I'll be on the road When Black Friday falls you know it's got to be Don't let it fall on me When Black Friday comes I'll fly down to MuswellGonna strike all the big red words From my little black book Gonna do just what I please Gonna wear no socks and shoes With nothing to do but feed All the kangaroos When Black Friday comes I'll be on that hill You know I willWhen Black Friday comes I'm gonna dig myself a hole Gonna lay down in it 'til I satisfy my soul Gonna let the world pass by me The Archbishop's gonna sanctify me And if he don't come across I'm gonna let it roll When Black Friday comes I'm gonna stake my claim I'll guess I'll change my name |

Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand
Bodhisattva, would you take me by the hand Can you show me the shine in your Japan, The sparkle of your China, can you show me Bodhisattva, BodhisattvaI'm gonna sell my house in town Bodhisattva, I'm gonna sell my house in town And I'll be there, I'll shine in your Japan I'll sparkle in your China, Yes I'll be there Bodhisattva, Bodhisattvas above verses ad nauseum (well not quite |

In the mornin you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water And you fire till he is done in But they catch you at the border And the mourners are all singin' As they drag you by your feet But the hangman isn't hangin' And they put you on the street: You go back Jack do it again Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round You go back Jack do it againWhen you know she's no high climber Then you find your only friend In a room with your two timer And you're sure you're near the end Then you love a little wild one And she brings you only sorrow All the time you know she's smilin' You'll be on your knees tomorrowNow you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of milk and honey You must put them on the table |

Babs and Clean Willy were in love they said
So in love the preacher's face turned red Soon everyobody knew the thing was dead He shouts She bites They wrangle through the night She go crazy Got to make a getaway Papa sayO No hesitation No tears and no hearts breaking No remorse O Congratulations This is your Haitian divorceShe takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon march?as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell She feels Alright She get it on tonight Mister driver Take me where the music play Papa sayAt the Grotto In the greasy chair Sits the Charlie with the lotion And the kinky hair When she smiled she said it all The band was hot so They danced the famous merango Now we dolly back Now we fade to blackTearful reunion in the U.S.A. Day by day those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed It grew And everybody knew Semi-mojo Who's this kinly so and so Papa go =========================================================== |

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine Up to Annandale It was still September When your daddy was quite surprised To find you with the working girls In the county jail I was smoking with the boys upstairs When I heard about the whole affair I said oh no William and Mary won't do : Well I did not think the girl Could be so cruel And I'm never going back To my old schoolOleanders growing outside her door Soon they're gonna be in bloom Up in Annandale I can't stand her Doing what she did before Living like a gypsy queen In a fairy tale Well I hear the whistle but I can't go I'm gonna take her down to Mexico She said oh no Guadalajara won't doCalifornia tumbles into the sea That'll be the day I go Back to Annandale Tried to warn you About Chino and Daddy Gee But I can't seem to get to you Through the U.S. Mail Well I hear the whistle but I can't go I'm gonna take her down to Mexico She said oh no Guadalajara won't do |

Felonius my old friend step on in and let me shake your hand
So glad that you're here again for one more time let your madness run with mine Streets still unseen we'll find somehow no time is better than now Tell me where are drivin' midnight cruiser Where is your bounty of fortune and fame I am another gentle man loser Drive to Harlem or somewhere the same The world that we used to know people tell me it don't turn no more The places we used to go familiar faces that aint smilin' like before The time of our time has come and gone I fear we been waitin' too long |

Drive west on Sunset to the sea
Turn that jubgle music down Just until we're out of town This is no one night stand It's a real occassion Close your eyes and you'll be there It's everything they say The end of a perfect day Distant lights from across the bayBabylon sisters shake it Babylon sisters shake it So fine so young Tell me I'm the only oneHere come those Santa Anna winds againWe'll jog with show folk on the sand Drink kirschwasser from a shell San Francisco Show and Tell Well I should know by now Like a Sunday in T.J. That it's cheap but it's not free That I'm not what I used to be And that love's not a game for three My friends say no don't go for that cotton candy Son you're playing with fire The kid will live and learn As he watched all his s burn From the point of no return |

While the music played
You worked by candle light Those San Fransisco nights You were the best in town Just by chance you crossed The diamond with the pearl You turned it on the world That's when you turned the world around Did you feel like Jesus Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyesOn the hill the stuff Was laced with kerosene But yours was kitchen clean Everyone stopped to stare At your technicolor motorhome Every A-Frame had your Number on the wall You must have had it all You'd go down to LA on a dare And you'd go it alone Could you live forever Could you see the day Could you feel your whole world Fall apart and fade awayGet along Get along Kid Charlemagne Get along Kid CharlemagneNow the patrons have all Left you in the red Your low-rent friends are dead This life can be very strange All those day-glow freaks Who used to paint the face They've joined the human race Some things will never change Son you were mistaken You are obsolete Look at all the white men On the streetClean this mess up Or we'll all end up in jail Those test-tubes and the scale Just get them all out of here Is there gas in the car I think the people down the hall Know who you are Careful what you carry 'Cause the man is wise You are still an outlaw in their eyes ============================================================== |

Times are hard, you're afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' 'cause your man is out of town, That's the time to get me runnin', and you know I'll be aroundI'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah, I don't wanna do your dirty work no more, I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeahLight the candle, put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early like a thousand times before Like the castle in his corner in a medieval game, I foresee terrible trouble, and I stay here just the sameI'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work no more I'm a fool to do your dirty work, oh yeah |

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home We're gonna rev up the motor scooters When Josie comes home to stay We're gonna park in the street Sleep on the beach and make it Throw down the jam till the girls say when Lay down the law and break it When Josie comes homeWhen Josie comes home So good She's the pride of the neighborhood She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fireJo would you love to scrapple She'll never say no Shine up the battle apple We'll shake 'em all down tonight We're gonna mix in the street Strike at the stroke of midnight Dance on the bones till the girls say when Pick up what's left by daylight When Josie comes homeWhen Josie comes home So bad She's the best friend we ever had She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fireWhen Josie comes home So good She's the pride of the neighborhood She's the raw flame The live wire She prays like a Roman With her eyes on fire |
