It was a one-eyed, one-horned Flyin’ Purple People Eater
(One-eyed, one-horned Flyin’ Purple People Eater)
One-eyed, one-horned Flyin’ Purple People Eater
Sure looked strange to me
People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
Losing sight of that familiar touch you know
Sinking into unknown beauty for a day
Living everything as it comes and goes
The only times you know have passed away
Bats take to wing, like puppets on string
Prancing through cool evening air
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun’s blinding stare
In twilight time, dream with me awhile
We’re watching heaven as the sun goes down
I watch the sun burst it hits the ground
You’ve gone too far
My dawnrazor’s falling brush the sun
You’ll see the day another way
And they could put the sunshine
for a nighttime where you lay
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling.
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love.
Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you’re gonna die
Love gets you high
I’m learning to fly
But I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
And there’s nothing short a’ dying
That’s half as lonesome as the sound
Of the sleeping city sidewalk
And Sunday morning coming down.
Ooh, that’s why I’m easy,
I’m easy like Sunday morning
Lazy day, Sunday afternoon,
Like to get your feet up, watch T.V.
Sunday roast is something good to eat,
Now it’s almost over till week.
I come from London town, I’m just an ordinary guy
Fridays I go painting in the Louvre
I’m bound to be proposing on a Saturday night (there he goes again)
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday,
Lazing on a Sunday,
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn’t bite
But you’ve got some bait a waitin’ and I think
Like nibblin’ in a little afternoon delight
Oh my God here U are
Prettiest thing in life I’ve ever seen
Close my eyes what’s it like,
What’s it like inside your tamborine?
Beer drinkin and hell raisers, yeah.
Little girl, baby, don’t you wanna come with me?
See me dancin’ like a cat on hot tin.
Im never, never gonna give in.
Im a-countin’ on this straight to win
Whisky ain’t never been a sin
I’m a fast movin’ baby I can show you around
I got so much cocaine ain’t never comin’ down
Snortin’ whiskey and drinkin’ cocaine
Got this feelin’ I’m gonna drive that girl insane, insanity
Whiskey, you’re the devil, you’re leadin’ me astray
Over hills and mountains and to Americae
You’re sweeter, stronger, decenter, you’re spunkier than tae
O whiskey, you’re my darlin’ drunk or sober
Whiskey River take my mind,
Don’t let her mem’ry torture me.
Whiskey River don’t run dry,
You’re all I’ve got, take care of me.
You can knock me and I don’t care
You can mock me and I don’t care
You can rock me just about anywhere, it’s alright
'Cause you’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
You’re all I’ve got tonight
I need you tonight
