No, you can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
You can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
And, in the end,
The love you take
Is equal to
The love you make
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I’ll never look into your eyes again
My Beautiful Friend
I swear I adore you
Ain’t no woman deep enough
I don’t know how we made it this far dear
Without losing at least an ear
I could leave us, I could leave us a painting
Our lives are-a-changing
So it goes
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
The world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won’t heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you’re a star in the face of the sky
Dark as the night comes to share
With stars in her hair
And grand majestic flair
Framed, a world passes by
With the sound of a young girl’s sigh
Man carrying a brow
Smoke rises from the crowd
Here for now
You left me here on your way to paradise
You pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know where you goin’ to I knew when you came home last night
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, we didn’t have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
It doesn’t really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it’s only a Northern song
Desination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young
So now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Anger rideth with the one that knows no fear
Whose eyes like fire, whose heart’s like ice
And spirit rideth with the ones that know no fear
They were the sons, the sons of northern darkness
beware of darkness
Watch out now, take care
Beware of the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
I wish for this night-time
to last for a lifetime
The darkness around me
Shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with the sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Weep no more, my ladies,
O weep no more, I pray,
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home,
For my old Kentucky home far away.
All de world am sad and dreary,
Eb-rywhere I roam;
Oh, darkeys, how my heart grows weary,
Far from de old folks at home!
If I crawl across the floor
Then I’d be closer to that door
Well, it’s too far
Never been so far away
Just lost the last thought in my head
What happens now?
Some fantasy you’ve been
Pick up the pieces in my mind
I’m going…
I’m going home
Going back to Miami (Going back to Miami)
Going back to my girl (Going back to my girl)
I said I’m going back to Miami (Going back to Miami)
Going back to my girl (Going back to my girl)
Now it’s back to the barrooms
Right back to drinkin’ again
Someday you’ll love me enough to stay with me
And whiskey won’t be my best friend
But now it’s back to the barrooms again
We’ll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
