Call out the instigators
Because there’s something in the air
We’ve got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution’s here, and you know it’s right
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
So take, take me home
'Cause I don’t remember
Take, take me home
'Cause I don’t remember
Take, take me home
Oh Lord, 'cause I’ve been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you
Baby I’m a prisoner, chained by love
It’s so easy to see
I can never be free
I’m a prisoner, chained by love
Chain chain chain
Chain of fools
Velvet chains,
Softly hold me,
Keep me from strayin’ to another one’s arms…
And if, you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (Never break the chain)
(What are these chains that are binding my arm?)
Part of you dies each passing day
(Say it’s a game and I’ll come to no harm)
You’ll feel your life slipping away
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
So take your time
I wonder if you’re here just to use my mind
Don’t take it slow
You know I’ve got a place to go
You always do that
Something I’m not quite sure of
But just for today
Let go and slide away
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun’s so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I’ll have to go now
In a little cafe
Just the other side of the border
She was just sitting there givin’ me looks
That made my mouth water
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa’s cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl
Wasting away again in Margaritaville,
Searching for my lost jigger of salt,
Some people say there’s a woman to blame,
But, I know it’s my own damn fault…
There are bingo games every fun-filled day
And Margaritas at the midnight buffet
Margaritas at the midnight buffet
There was a farmer who had a dog
And Bingo was his name-o
B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O
And Bingo was his name-o
Sheepdog, standing in the rain
Bullfrog, doing it again
Some kind of happiness is
Measured out in miles
What makes you think you’re
Something special when you smile
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
As time goes on
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now
Now that you’re near
Promise your love
That I’ve waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world
With hope of loving you
(bolding mine)
Lost ***shaker ***of salt…
You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can’t you see
You’re everything I hope for
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
