Her name is Rio  
She don’t need to understand  
And I might find her if I’m looking like I can

Wisteria, did you change your name again?  
Those of us who knew you when  
Can’t even find you.

Love rebounds  
Heart goes snap  
Is she ever  
Coming back?

Let her down  
Break her fall  
Never ever  
Felt so small

Love, love, where can you be?  
Are you out there looking for me?  
Love, love, where can you be?  
Love, I am waiting  
Heartbeats accelerating

Where is love?  
Does it fall from skies above?  
Is it underneath the willow tree  
That I’ve been dreaming of?

Sword of steel held up high  
Lightning strikes from blackened skies  
Fallen heroes in battle slain  
Awaits my arrival at the gates of  
Valhalla - Shields of gold  
Valhalla - Great warriors hall

Just have my body shipped air-freight  
From Texas to the pearly gate  
Just ring the bell and leave me at the door.  
I’ll be somewhere over Jordan swinging low,  
I’ll hear them tape-recorded angels in lifelike stereo

Singing, we reserve the right to refuse service to you  
Take you business back to Walgreen’s  
Have you tried the local zoo?  
Our quota’s fill for this year on singing Texas Jews.  
We reserve the right to refuse service to you.

Put on your yarmulke  
It’s time for Chanukah

So many Jews are in show biz.  
Bruce Springsteen isn’t.  
Oh, but my mother thinks he is.

I’ve always thought of you as my brick wall  
Built like an angel, six feet tall  
Six feet tall

And when you go away, I start to weep  
You’re too expensive, girl to keep  
Isn’t it sweet?

I don’t know where to begin, living in sin  
How can we talk?  
Look where you’ve been

High and dry, out of the rain  
It’s so easy to hurt others when you can’t feel pain  
And don’t you know that a love can’t grow  
'Cause there’s too much to give, 'cause you’d rather live  
For the thrill of it all, oh

You’re a rich girl, and you’ve gone too far  
'Cause you know it don’t matter anyway

You’re shaking my confidence daily.

When I’m on my knees

To touch is to heal  
To hurt is to steal  
If you want to kiss the sky  
Better learn how to kneel

_Shut up, I’m talking to you,  
It’s on television so it can’t be true  
But I can’t believe their lies no more,  
Watch out, I’m comin’ through,  
Boogey man gonna bite you too,  
I know what the blind man sees  
On your feet or on your knees_

I try to sing this song  
I…I try to get in  
But I can’t find the door  
The door is open  
You’re standing there  
You let me in

Gloria…in te domine  
Gloria…exultate  
Oh Lord, if I had anything  
Anything at all  
I’d give it to you  
I’d give it to you

And I would give anything I own  
Give up my life, my heart, my home  
I would give everything I own  
Just to have you back again
