Every day brings change, and love puts on a new face  
Certain things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place  
Secretly I’ve been taking you, like a fox that preys on a rabbit  
I had to get you, and so I knew I’d have to learn your ways and habits  
Ooh, you were the catch that I was after  
But I looked up and I was in your arms, and I knew that I was captured  
What’s this whole world coming to?  
Things just ain’t the same  
Anytime the hunter gets captured by the game

And the seasons they go round and round  
And the painted ponies go up and down  
We’re captive on the carousel of time  
We can’t return we can only look  
Behind from where we came  
And go round and round and round  
In the circle game

Will it go round in circles?  
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?  
Will it go round in circles?  
Will it fly high like a bird up in the sky?

And I been from Tuscon to Tucumacari  
Tehachapi to Tonapah  
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made  
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed

And if you give me, weed, whites and wine  
And show me a sign  
I’ll be willin to be movin’

My friends come for Saturday night  
Man, it’s nice to make up some sangria wine  
It’s organic, and it comes from the vine  
It’s also legal, and it gets you so high

Yeah, and I love that sangria wine  
Love to drink it with old friends of mine  
Yeah, I love to get drunk with friends of mine  
When we’re drinkin’ that old sangria wine

Whoa, I love sangria wine  
Whoa, I love sangria wine

We met some time ago, when we were almost young  
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?  
I didn’t have much money, so I stole you a rose  
You were dressed like an orphan in Salvation Army clothes

I never thought I’d lose you, no, I’d rather go blind  
I thought I saw a future, but the fortune teller lied

Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high  
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

She played tambourine with a silver jingle  
And she must have known the words to at least a million tunes  
But the one most requested by the man she knew as cowboy  
Was the late night benediction at the Y’all Come Back Saloon

Well, get up, up on the dancefloor, move, it’s a Saturday night  
I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight  
Reflected in your beautiful eyes  
I guess that is destiny doing it right  
And dance like they do in the Mediterranean  
Spin you around me again and again, and  
You’re like something that God has sent me  
I want you, baby, solamente

And you and I we’re flying on an aeroplane tonight  
We’re going somewhere where the sun is shining bright  
Just close your eyes  
And let’s pretend we’re dancing in the street  
In Barcelona

I’m just out here, solamente, pretty dizzy  
From the world spinnin’ faster than it should be  
I’m just out here, solamente, solo dolor  
Paranoia follows me wherever I go

Sola-sola-sola-solamente (solamente)

Paranoia strikes deep  
Into your life it will creep  
It starts when you’re always afraid  
Step out of line, The Man comes  
And takes you away

You better stop - hey, what’s that sound?  
Everybody look what’s going down

Girl, I want, you here with me  
But I’m really not as cool as I’d like to be  
‘Cause there’s a red, under my bed  
And there’s a little yellow man in my head  
And there’s a true, blue, inside of me  
That keeps stoppin’ me, touchin’ ya, watchin’ ya, lovin’ ya

Paranoia, need destroyer, paranoia, they destroy ya’

Well

I had a dog and his name was Blue  
And I betcha five dollars he’s a good dog, too  
Come on, Blue  
You good dog, you

I shouldered my gun and I tooted my horn  
And I went to get a possum in the new ground corn  
Come on, Blue  
You can come too

It’s me and my arrow

Primitive mirror on the wall  
To fortify your grim resolve  
Amid the glitz of a shopping mall  
Another grain of indigent salt for the sea

Good night to these wretched forms  
All them gray eyes on the subway  
So long before you were born  
You were always to be a dagger floating  
Straight to their heart
