Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding, And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know. And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing, And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.
My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band, We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.
She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in, Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.
Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well, You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.
There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination, But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has! And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer, And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.
Drop down, baby, let your daddy see. Drop down, mama, just dream of me Well, my mama allow me to fool around all night long Well, I may look like I'm crazy, I should know right from wrong See me comin', throw your man out the door Ain't no stranger, been this way before See me comin', mama, throw your man out the door I ain't no stranger, I been this way before.
Put on your night shirt and your morning gown You know by night I'm gonna shake 'em down Put on your night shirt Mama, and your morning gown Well, you know by night I'm gonna shake 'em down Your custard pie, yeah, sweet and nice When you cut it, mama, save me a slice Your custard pie, I declare, it's sweet and nice I Like your custard pie When you cut it, mama... mama, please save me a slice.
From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,.
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.
Hours, hours, and the moments in between, Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,
And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me. It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be.
*Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky. But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to show That you will be mine, by takin' our time.
And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be. Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.
*Repeat
So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new, And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.
*Repeat
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show. Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna...sail, little girl do do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah. Everybody I know seems to know me well but they're never gonna know that I move like hell.
Shapes of things before my eyes Just teach me to despise Will time make men more wise Here within my lonely frame my eyes just heard my brain But will it seem the same
Come tomorrow, will I be older Come Tomorrow, may be a soldier. Come Tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green. But will they still be seen? When time and tide have been. Fall into your passing hands. Please don't destroy these lands. Don't make them desert sands.
Chorus
Soon I hope that I will find, Thoughts deep within my mind. That won't displace my kind
Then as it was, then again it will be An' though the course may change sometimes Rivers always reach the sea Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go
Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be
Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good 'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would
Through the eyes an' I sparkle, Senses growing keen Taste your love along the way, See your feathers preen Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to grow We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be Oh darlin', oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave Holdin' on, ten years gone Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy (X2)
Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' 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 (X2)
Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody... Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed
Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven... Won't you let me in I never did no harm. I never did no wrong
Oh, Gabriel, let me blow your horn. Let me blow your horn Oh, I never did, did no harm.
I've only been this young once. I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong No, not once.
Oh, I did somebody some good. Somebody some good... Oh, did somebody some good. I must have did somebody some good...
And I see them in the streets And I see them in the field And I hear them shouting under my feet And I know it's got to be real Oh, Lord, deliver me All the wrong I've done You can deliver me, Lord I only wanted to have some fun.
Hear the angels marchin', hear the' marchin', hear them marchin', hear them marchin', the' marchin'
Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do. Messin' around with every guy in town, Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new. Always the same, playin' your game, Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you, One of these days and it won't be long, You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone. This is all I gotta say to you woman:
*Your Time Is Gonna Come X4
Made up my mind to break you this time, Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry. Do want you want, I won't take the brunt. It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore. Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay, Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart. People talkin' all around, Watch out woman, no longer Is the joke gonna be on my heart. You been bad to me woman, But it's coming back home to you.
Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town? It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down. Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago, But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.
Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you. The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue. Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love; But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.
People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat, I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at. One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do, It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you. I try to make love but it ain't no use.
Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved; Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried. Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way; Go away, Heartbreaker.
You jump jump here You jump jump there You jump jump jump everywhere Then you mellow down easy Mellow down easy You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You shake shake here You shake shake there You shake shake shake everywhere Then you mellow down easy Mellow down easy You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You wiggle wiggle here You wiggle wiggle there You wiggle wiggle wiggle everywhere Then you mellow down easy Mellow down easy You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
Can't help about the shape I'm in I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well
When I talked to God, I knew he'd understand He said stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand But don't ask me what I think of you I might not give the answer that you want me to Oh well
Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker, and then
I got a girl lives up on the hill I got a girl lives up on the hill Says she gonna love me but I don't believe she will
You gotta shake your moneymaker Shake your money maker Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker Shake your moneymaker, and then
I got a girl and she just won't be true I got a girl and she just won't be true She's locked to the bridge, she won't do a thing I tell her to
She won't shake her moneymaker Won't shake her moneymaker She wanna roll her activator She won't shake her moneymaker She won't shake her moneymaker She won't
As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song, And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along. There is no doubt about the words are clear, The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day. A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away, There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.
*All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love, All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love. Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.
I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am, I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man, One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride, People go and people come, see my rider right by my side, It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run.
You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin', I'm gonna send you back to schoolin', Way down inside honey, you need it, I'm gonna give you my love, I'm gonna give you my love.
*Wanna Whole Lotta Love (X4)

Shake for me, girl. I wanna be your backdoor man. Keep it coolin', baby
