Small town girl goes west 'Cause she thinks its the only way to stay alive She knows best who's who n' who's not Who's hot and who's the more fly Now when she stands before you And you're trying to conversate What you don't know is she's scanning the room For a bigger fish to swallow the bait
Now stepping stones And licking bones and cast them all aside I wonder what she's looking for tonight
There she goes again Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin' There she goes again Tryin' all the new stuff Tryin' to be fly
There she goes again Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin' There she goes again Tryin' to be a new star Tryin' to get high
All decked out in her designer clothes 'Cause she's shootin' from the hip with a credit card Everybody thinks she's a bittle lit old But you can't take long on an eyesore Drivin' in a Beamer with the top down Sunset queen in a big town If you don't pay she'll go out of your way Yeah, you don't want her hanging around
Now a stick and stone may break the bone, But it don't quench the fire I wonder what she's looking for tonight
There she goes again Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin' There she goes again Tryin' all the new stuff Tryin' to be fly
There she goes again Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin' There she goes again Tryin' to be the new star Tryin' to get high
Now stepping stones and licking bones and cast them all aside I wonder what she's looking for tonight
Like a bittersweet pill, the kind that gives you a thrill And then it lets you down, keeps you hanging on She's playing with my mind, there ain't nothing left to find 'Cause my judgment and my senses have all but gone You can't tell me she ain't worth it all, 'cause she surely is She gives with every, every little breath of her beck and call
She's chocolate in my pocket, she's gum in my hair She's the kind of girl that drives you crazy But I don't really care She's a superstar on my stage, she's the sunlight in my shades The sweetest scent that fills the air You will always find her there
Like a cricket in a web, I never watched my step As I walked into her black widowed tentacled charm
She's working on my senses, got me lowering my defenced There ain't nothing I can do to keep me safe from harm
You can't tell me she ain't worth it all, 'cause she surely is I live for every, every little breath of her beck and call
She's chocolate in my pocket...
You can't tell me she ain't worth it all, 'cause she surely is She gives with every, every little breath of her beck and call
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my absolute pleasure To introduce to you, here, tonight The Getaway People for you listening pleasure
From the top of [Incomprehensible] the beach From the prisons of Birmingham to the Walnut creek They rise above the loud speaker So, we can share in their love
Six Pacs and Bigmacs keep us rollin' down the road Cigarettes and coffee, where ever we go Learn to appreciate those simple little things And open up my arms to what the road might bring
Cramped in a van and we do the best we can On a journey filled with tears and laughter From the Journey Turnpike We set sail on the getaway rafter
People all around us, they shower us with love You better keep it comin' 'cause we just can't get enough
Where would we be without a little love? You can't get by without a little love Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime
Where would we be without a little love? You can't get by without a little love Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime
Now, slip me a can and I pour it in a glass So, we can share a little love and happiness Don't matter who you are or where you came from 'Cause if you're down with the G, came get some
Crusin' 'round the country through every little town You always find the coolest of people come around
Where would we be without a little love? You can't get by without a little love Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime
Where would we be without a little love? You can't get by without a little love Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

I'm over the hill and far away But you can see me At the corner of a liquor store every day Over and above the crowd I'm on my cloud But nobody ever listens to what I say
Could it be the way I portray my existence? People always keep in the distance You're so, so blind in my own paradise
Open your mind Let your spirit fly Peace in our time Everything is fine In your own paradise
See me coming from afar one happy day But you do your very best to avoid me in every way The sign is on your face with every trace Wrong time, wrong place
You violate my space with your paper cup My dollar bill, you drink it up Not that I care what I left behind Outta sight and out of my mind
If I were you I'd be taking it easy Kick back and relax for a little while We'll all still be here tomorrow Take time just to act like a little child
No matter what the world has in store for us You got the ring that better get off of us Reach out for a comfortable chair Rejoice throw your arms in the air
'Cause it's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away
It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away
And if your boss is giving you pressure Let go, take a breather in the park You've got to find out what's your pleasure In time you'll be singing like a lark
Pretty soon your sorry will chime for all Somebody will heed your call Reach out for a comfortable chair Rejoice throw your arms in the air
'Cause it's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away
It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away
Trade in some misery For some tender lovin' care Cast aside those cloudy days Crushes are hard to bear
Make up your mind Or get a whole new lease on life Reach out for a comfortable chair Rejoice and throw your arms in the air
It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away
It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away It's a good life so why y'all trippin' The good life's slippin' away

1V: Trust you to stand before me like an angel All dressed in sweet conceit, though I can't see it I'm running around in circles, still I can't understand But with my third eye open I can see that you treat me like a fool
Ch: With one more lie that I can't take, its my tree that you shake Shake my soul to the ground and shake me down I was deceived by an angel
2V: Trust you to want to want me, but do you need me I pull petals from a flower, do you love me I've seen you around my garden, you make the flowers bloom But when spring comes early, summers pass And autumn comes to soon
Ch: With one more lie that I can't take, its my tree that you shake Shake my soul to the ground and shake me down I was deceived by an angel x 3
M8: Oh baby can't you understand that you're looking at a broken man If I could pick up the pieces of my broken heart I would do it all again right from the start
I met my baby by the station She said, "Can I help you with some information?" 'Cause your train gets out at a quarter-to-five But you could stay a while, you and I could get funky To the rhythm of the choo-choo-train Dancin' in the pourin' rain I found myself in the most beautiful situation A feeling I can't describe
So I forget my destination And I pray, can you make a late cancellation? And as the train pulls out at a quarte-to-five With a knowing sigh, her and I, we get funky To the rhythm of the choo-choo-train Dancin' in the pourin' rain
I found myself in the most beautiful situation A feeling I can't describe
Oh how she gave me love, oh how she gave me love Oh how she gave me love, she gave me love.

Madeleine was a pretty little girl, why she didn't even hit sixteen All the boys in the neighbourhood took advantage of the little girl's dream Now they may try to hide it, but you just can't justify it They used her up and crushed her seeds of a flower that was never meant to be She needed love they gave her lies The promise of a paradise Now there's nothing left for Madeleine to sanctify Stuck in the middle can't solve the riddle on the outside Rockin' the cradle sure could be fatal on the outside Stuck in the middle can't solve the riddle on the outside Rockin' the cradle sure could be fatal on the outside

Stuck in the middle can't solve the riddle on the outside Rockin' the cradle sure could be fatal on the outside Stuck in the middle can't solve the riddle on the outside Rockin' the cradle sure could be fatal on the outside
