There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey, what is this
Now baby, maybe she’s in need of a kiss
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
Well, its eight o’clock in Boise, Idaho
I’ll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I’ll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right
What’s your name, little girl?
What’s your name?
Shootin’ you straight, little girl?
Won’t you do the same?
Straight up, now, tell me, do you really want to love me forever
I couldn’t take it any longer Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore, that I would love you to the end of time
So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive
*She goes downstairs to the kitchen
Clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the back door key
Stepping outside she is free *
Freedom, oh, freedom
Well that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walkin’ through this world all alone
Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket.
She wears a cross around her neck.
Yes the hair is from a little boy,
And the cross from someone she has not met, well, not yet
Says she talks to angels.
Says they all know her name.
Oh yeah, she talks to angels.
Says they call her out by her name.
Talk about a boy saying to de girl: “Golly, baby, I’m a lucky cuss!”
Talk about a girl saying to de boy: “You an’ me is lucky to be us!”
Happy talk, keep talking’ happy talk,Talk about things you’d like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream,How you gonna have a dream come true?
Someday when things are good,
I’m gonna leave you,
I can’t seem to go,
When things are bad
I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said Delores
I live in fear
My love for you’s so overpowering
I’m afraid that I will disappear
Oh and while the king was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
I’m a joker
I’m a smoker
I’m a midnight toker
They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied
They said “someday you’ll find all who love are blind”
When your heart’s on fire,
You must realize, smoke gets in your eyes
The world’s comin’ to an end, I don’t even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don’t bother me if people think I’m “funny”
‘Cause I’m a big rock star and I’m makin’ lots of money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…
I’m so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha
(From Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke)
My Maserati does 185
I lost my license, now I don’t drive
I have a limo, ride in the back
I lock the doors in case I’m attacked
I’m making records, my fans they can’t wait
They write me letters, tell me I’m great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I’ll call
Anyway…
We cut a hit, and we toured a bit with a song he said he couldn’t use
Now he calls, and begs and crawls, it’s telephone deja vu
We got percentage points and lousy joints and all the glitter we can use, mama, so
Don’t call us, we’ll call you
Glittering Prizes and Endless Compromises
Shatter the Illusion of Integrity
And here I am, my heart breaking
Forced to glitter, forced to be gay
Glitter and be gay
That’s the part I play
Here I am in Paris, France
Forced to bend my soul
To a sordid role
Victimised by bitter
Bitter circumstance
Nothing good lasts forever
Not on this earth
I’m a victim of circumstance
My mistake was my birth
Cause I’m destitute and losin’, sure can’t be choosin’
