I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you, I need you
Oh, won’t you stay with me,
‘Cause you’re all I need,
This ain’t love it’s clear to see,
But, darlin’, stay with me…
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine
Every mornin’ at the mine you could see him arrive,
He stood six-foot-six and weighed two-forty-five,
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip,
And everybody knew ya didn’t give no lip to big John.
(Big John, big John),
Big bad John (big John).
Well ev’ry day at the salon you can see him arrive
He stood six foot six, weighed one-o-five
He’s kinda narrow at the shoulders, narrow in the hips
With a curl in his hair and a smile on his lips
Big Bruce…Big Bad Bruce
He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest
He was mean and nasty right clear through
Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too
They called him Irving
Big Irving
Big, short Irving
Big, short, fat Irving
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West
Well outta south Alabama came a country boy
He said I’m lookin’ for a man named Jim
I’m a pool shootin’ boy
My name is Willie McCoy
But back home they call me Slim
Yeah I’m lookin’ for the king of 42nd Street
Drivin’ a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back
And everybody say “Jack, don’t you know”
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off the ol’ Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim
I am, I am, I am Superman and I know what’s happening
I am, I am, I am Superman and I can do anything
You don’t really love that guy you make it with now, do you?
I know you don’t love that guy 'cause I can see right through you
ninja’ed
Sing, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
Muhammad, the black superman
Who calls to the other guy I’m Ali catch me if you can
I’m Ali catch me if you can
I’d really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it’s in
I’m too weak, I’m so thin
I’d like to fly but I can’t even swim
Superman, superman, I want to fly like superman
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Superman, superman, wish I could fly like superman
Superman, superman, I want to be like superman
Superman, superman, I want to fly like superman
Well I know what I’ve been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can’t do this all on my own
No I can’t do this all on my own
I know that I’m no Superman
I’m no Superman
I’m no Superman
If you ain’t gonna break the mold
Even at the center of the fire, there is cold
And all that glitters ain’t gold
And all that glitters ain’t gold
All the gold in California,
Is at the bottom of a bank in Beverly Hills,
In someone else’s name…
Well the first thing you know ol Jed’s a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there
Said Californy is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.
Blessed is the one who shares
The power and your beauty, Mary
Blessed is the millionaire
Who shares your wedding day
So when you find somebody to give
Think of me and celebrate
I made such a big mistake when I was Mary’s Prayer
My prayer is to linger with you,
At the end of the day in a dream that’s divine.
My prayer is a rapture in blue,
With the world far away and your lips close to mine.
You’re in the arms of the Angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you feel,
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,
You’re in the arms of an Angel,
May you find some comfort there…
Crawlin’ from the wreckage, Crawlin’ from the wreckage
You’d think by now at least that half my brain would get the message
Crawlin’ from the wreckage, Crawlin’ from the wreckage
Into a brand new car
She had fun, fun, fun,
Til Daddy took the T-bird away…
