Driving out on Ponchatrain Louisiana mud
Cleaning off the insects to get a little light You're confined to Dallas and I think you're right To find other solutions maybe not but I might I might be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case Close as I am to you I'm closer to Gila Bend I'll call you in the morning and tell you where to send The last thing we talked about after you had left that message on my party line That you were miles ahead To set you up instead But I might be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon When the clouds passed over us We'll be out of here soon Thanks for thinking of me and thanks for the flowers Deadly nightshade is beautiful I could stare at them for hours I crossed the border this morning you come across tonight You lost the map of Mexico that wasn't very bright I could be looking at trouble again fighting above my weight But when things look so easy you want to be careful in case Dancing Undercover of a Mariachi moon When the clouds passed over us Dancing dancing dancing We'll be out of here soon |

There's a carnival lady in a ten gallon hat
She pulls a rabbit out of the hat And sets it free, she sets it free There's a pigeon in my chimney and it's powdering up the air, Powdering up the air and making it hard to breathe Gonna set it free, it's free or fried Together again, and again Free again, and again The lady wants you to dance to the sound of the castanets, You're trying hard to forget What she'd mean to you, if she should set you free. When you walk in the rain up to your ankles in water Fixated on the vision of the hangman's daughter And what she'd mean to you, when she'd set you free Free again, and again Together again, and again You hear a noise in the distance and you see the sun go down The streets are full of junkies, there's a lot of them about You feel them getting closer, they're breathing down your neck, You're the only one left, you're the only one left Who doesn't wanna be free, you don't wanna be free You never asked to be free again. |

Less than a day when the speed of decision was taken while we waited outside for savage ineptitude motionless spectacle into the glass of time
What do we learn from that? What do we learn from that? What do we learn from that? The world goes round What was replacing the fractured event in the landscape of nobody left one day you said you will return safer by far than the fools at the bar What do we learn from that? What do we learn from that? What do we learn from that? The world goes round Inside the demand for a luxury hand lurks the context of misery's trend How in the world can the trouble be found when the movement's too fast for that we're slow But we learn from that That's what we learn from that A facet to be facet to do A shattered inevitable greed you're walking on locusts - you like to do that I can hear it when you talk What do we learn from that? The context decides if we live or we die It comes to me when I'm alone Your voice keeps me quiet until then You should know by now if we ever learn from that Do we ever learn from that? |

Rolling through the Mardi Gras
Madman on the loose That's where I met Egypt selling Antiques from a caboose She's not giving discounts or anything away What do you say? What have you got? What do you say? What have you got? In risky stock adventures, the back end might be sweet Microsoft is nothing, your money's safe with me I made a decent offer, you stared off into space You countered my proposal by laughing in my face. What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? I jump into the river, dance on burning coals, wrestle alligators or sleep out in the cold What do you say? You say I'm crazy, Egypt? (Crazy! Crazy!) What do you say? Who, me? I'm crazy, Egypt? (Crazy! Crazy!) Santa's in the garden, the sharks are in the hall Juke's playing Dixie Cups greatest hits, aw What do you mean? C'mon now. What do you mean? I'll sell you down the river on the dotted line A reasonable assumption: even losers win sometime Empty out your pockets, chase your tail Creep down the escalade or to Elysian fields What do I think? I think you're crazy, Egypt. (Crazy!) What do I say? I say what I think: you're crazy, Egypt! (Crazy! Crazy!) Me, I'm walking out of here, emptying the till I'm calling up your lawyers and giving you the bill That's what I think. That's what I think. I think you've got trouble, Egypt! (Trouble!) (Crazy! Crazy!) The yankee on Canal St. doesn't know which side he's on You buy me the election, I'll sell you Japan From an Algiers motel window to a debutante's affair You've got everything you wanted and you're still crazy, Egypt! (Crazy!) You've got everything you wanted and you're still crazy, Egypt! (Crazy!) You've got everything, everything you wanted and you're still crazy, Egypt! (Crazy! Crazy! Aah!) |

Since you've been gone
Many things have changed The days get longer We spend our nights alone Before you took The time to see You didn't let me down You're a phone-call away Now the time has come To think of you a while I cannot leave you now (I cannot leave you now) Though the door is open wide (oh open wide) You're in my mind and soul And I've said it before So much for love So long for now So much for love It's been good to know you We'll meet again Where it all began A souvenir of the past And I guess it's the last So much for love So much for love |

There's an end to the road that takes you home
There's a way of life you knew before At the end of the day you will have your rest You'll find a way You'll find a way Don't resist the morning calm It will keep you safe from harm The time will come when help is found You leave behind the things form the past Though the road is long and hard and the path is wide We climb it still and seize the skies It's only a matter of time It's only a matter of time The landscape has changed and the mood has gone Along with the rest we carry on If you take me back in space in time I'll let the journey begin and keep it with mine On this coat of many colours there's a lot of room for others I see in your face the reason why You fell from grace and you cannot find The way from here that leads you back To the place that you know the best And its distance from the rest You tell me why there's a saviour looking on with the weak and the strong, taking us to higher ground |

The latest development in the Land of Nod
Says the animals got the best of us all Lost in the miles of the 20th century Cocktail parties and things If we could work it out (If we could work it out) We'd have done it by now If we could work it out (If we could have it done) Don't you think we'd have it done The indistinct notion of cool Was the laughter I heard coming through your door (Ooh, through your door) That's all that's left of the days we spent Trying to break on through I'd like things to be easy (easy) to be the best they can (best they can) but you've turned me into jelly and used me like a soupcan If we could work it out (If we could work it out) We'd have done it by now If we could work it out (We left it where it was) We'd have left it where it was With you still riding bareback (Ooh, ooh) and me driving my Dodge you skipping a heartbeat (Ooh, ooh) and me not paying attention something was wrong right then You weren't seeing the difference You're still running scared We won't be watching the sunset it took too much time to learn You're cool (Cool, ooh-ooh) In your indistinct notion (Indistinct notion) too cool (Cool, ooh-ooh) in your indistinct notion (Indistinct notion) you're cool (Cool, ooh-ooh) in your indistinct notion (Indistinct notion |

When I find you listening
And I find you sitting And I find you thinking I'll be waiting When I'm looking for you You'll see the difference You're caught in a web Pure deceit In the roar of the crowd For the work of the picador Roar of the crowd For the work of the picador Blood on sawdust Door slams shut Beast is bleeding You can't get enough I caught you laughing On the day you left There's a subtle difference That I could sense And the daylight comes And the streets lie empty In the roar of the crowd For the work of the picador And the daylight comes And the streets lie empty And the roar of the crowd For the work of the picador The train moves on Through the valley A whistle carries A long, long way To the beast on the mountain A long time ago We can still hear The whistle blow And the daylight comes And the streets lie empty And the roar of the crowd For the work of the picador And the daylight comes And the streets lie empty And the moon looks down On the work of the picador And the daylight comes And the streets lie empty And the roar of the crowd For the art of the picador And the daylight comes And the streets turn ugly And the moon smiles down On the art of the picador |

The tide has turned around and the chill settles in
Summer is almost gone I run along the shore I can't avoid it anymore In the window where the sun shines through on the bedroom linnen that keep you cool you lie there Thinking in wide-eyed surprise Hardly believing we realise that some friends pass on Some friends belong to time |
