Thanks for the memories…
Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Yesterday, when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
I believe I can fly,
I believe I can touch the sky,
I believe it every night and day
(Night and day)
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command
I believe in coyotes and time as an abstract
Explain the change, the difference between
What you want and what you need, there’s the key
Your adventure for today, what do you do
Between the horns of the day
I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing (sexy thing you)
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come
To show the way
I believe, I believe
There’s a light over at the Frankenstein Place
There’s a light burning in the fireplace
There’s a light, light in the darkness of everybody’s life.
The darkness must go down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life, into my life.
Here comes the sun,
Doot n do doo
Here comes the sun,
And I say it’s all right
I said hey, what’s your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don’t you wait or hesitate
Let’s move before they raise the parking rate
All right now baby, it’s all right now
All right now baby, it’s all right now
I don’t need you to worry for me 'cause I’m alright
I don’t want you to tell me it’s time to come home
I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you’d pay
For things that you might have done
Only the good die young
That’s what I said
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can’t be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look at mine today, here she comes
Wearin’ her wig hat and shades to match
Her high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin’ pearls and diamond rings
She’s got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything?
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Fe-fe, fi-fi, fo-fo, fum
I smell smoke in the auditorium
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown
He’s a clown, that Charlie Brown
Everybody loves a clown, so why don’t you?
Everybody laughs at the things I say and do
They all laugh when they see me comin’
But you don’t laugh, you just go home runnin’
Everybody loves a clown, so why can’t you?
A clown has feelings, too
While the children laughed
I was always afraid
of the Smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can’t see the light
And I hide from the sound
We’re two of a kind
Silence and I
Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my surface hid
Smiling in the crowd I try
But in my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
