American woman, said get away
American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines
I don’t need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Stop walking down my street
Don’t come around here no more
Who did you expect to meet?
Don’t come around here no more
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey! don’t come around here no more
Hey! honey please, don’t come around here no more
Whatever you’re looking for
Ah, oh, ah, ah.
Don’t come around here no more
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we’re strangers when we meet
If you see me walkin’ down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Oh remember my darling
When spring is in the air
And the bald headed birds
Are whisp’ring ev’rywhere
You can see them walking
Southward in their dirty underwear
That’s Tennessee Bird walk
Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don’t you? 'Course you do.
But there’s one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes ev’ry Sunday a treat for me.
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
Ev’ry Sunday you’ll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.
When they see us coming, the birdies all try an’ hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun’s shining bright,
Ev’rything seems all right,
When we’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
She’s pretty as a daisy but look out man she’s crazy
She’ll really do you in
Now if you let her under your skin
Poison ivy, poison ivy
Late at night while you’re sleepin’ poison ivy comes a’creepin’
Around
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don’t touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison runnin’ through my veins
You’re poison, I don’t wanna break these chains.
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I’m caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat
If you love me let me know
If you don’t then let me go
I can’t take another minute
Of a day without you in it
If you love me let it be
If you don’t then set me free
Take the chains away
That keep me loving you
A fugitive has been away so long
A thousand years, and now he thinks of home
The long men are waiting in the wings
To put him in chains upon his return
Emptiness, his bitterness is gone
Journey on to the eternal reward
It’s a long way to go
A black angel at your side
It’s a long way to go
A black angel at your side
Chain, chain, chain!
Chain of fools.
Chains, my baby’s got me locked up in chains.
And they ain’t the kind that you can see.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah.
Chains, well I can’t break away from these chains.
Can’t run around, 'cause I’m not free.
Whoa, oh, these chains of love won’t let me be, yeah.
I wanna tell you, pretty baby,
I think you’re fine.
I’d like to love you,
But, darlin’, I’m imprisoned by these
Eve bears the stigma of original sin.
Freedom’s so hard, when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the scheme of natures own hand, unseen by all those who fail
In their pursuit of fate.
Although Xavier has prayed that life giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of men to cure them of their ways.
And as the night turns into day will the sun illuminate your way,
Or will your nightmares come home to stay.
Xavier’s love lies in chains.
These were the sins of Xavier’s past,
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils.
Heaven knows it’s time for us
To wake up with the sun
Like a child you kiss my eyes
The tears have come and gone
And now I feel the mist is clearing
And all the clouds will drift away
And there’s no chill in the air tonight when
We know that love is here to stay
And now we’re dancing like the dance of the seven veils
Every move closer till the moment we lose our selves
Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish
I don’t know if I’m being wise
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I look in your eyes.
Love is in the air, in the whisper of the trees,
Love is in the air in the thunder of the sea,
And I don’t know if I’m just dreaming,
I don’t know if I feel safe,
But it’s something that I must believe in
And it’s there when I call out your name.
I call your name,
But you’re not there-
Was I to blame
For being unfair?
It’s been so long since you felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know there’s a place where you belong
Here in my arms
When you feel like you’re alone in your sadness
And it seems like no one in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I’ll be there
I dreamed last night of my true love
All in my arms I had her
And her locks of hair, all long and fair
Hung round me like a shadow
Farewell to you, my own true love,
I am going far, far away
I am bound for California,
And I know that I’ll return someday
So fare thee well, my own true love,
For when I return, united we will be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
But my darling when I think of thee
You are my friend
So sad this had to end
Some broken things don’t mend
They lie where they fall
You say the knife
Is twisted in your back
You don’t remember that
It wasn’t mine
But you’re my friend
And you know
Things are not the same
You can’t hide your lies
'cause it’s time
there’s nothing you can change
