Because I am still in love with you,
I want to see you dance again,
Because I am still in love with you,
On this Harvest moon…
We get it on most every night
When that ol’ moon gets-a big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody’s dancin’ in the moonlight
You can’t start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
An all-time great, great song.
We now return you to the regular programming.
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
I met her in a club down in North Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Lola”
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola
He wear no shoe shine
He got toe jam football
He got monkey finger
He shoot coca-cola
Okay, bring it down here
We gonna break out
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Get the cool (lalalala)
Get the cool shoeshine (lalalala)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (lalalala)
Ah, ah, ah, ah (lalalala)
Day doo de bop
Day doo de bop
Day doo de bop
Day doo de bop
Day-o, day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan’ go home
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and he wan’ go home
Put the lime in the coconut,
And drink it all up,
You put the lime in the coconut,
You drink it all up…
So drink up, drink up all you people
And order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink, and the laugh’s, on me
Pardon me, but I gotta run
The fact’s uncommonly clear
I gotta find who’s now number one
And why my Angel Eyes ain’t here.
Drink with me to days gone by
To the life that used to be
At the shrine of friendship, never say die
Let the wine of friendship never run dry
Here’s to you
And here’s to me
If drinking don’t kill me
Her memory will
I can’t hold out much longer
The way that I feel
With the blood from my body
I could start my own still
But if drinking don’t kill me
Her memory will.
I try to move my arms and there’s no feeling
And when I look I see there’s nothing there
The face beside me stopped it totally bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare
I remember
We were flying along and hit something in the air
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
And focusing it on the sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don’t need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite,
She’s so high,
High above me…
You put me high
Upon a pedestal
So high that I could almost see eternity
