And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
But he said, leave me alone
I’m a family man
And my bark is much worse than my bite
He said, leave me alone
I’m a family man
But if you push me too far I just might
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev’rybody and sing
I got a girl, she lives on the hill.
She won’t do it but her sister will,
When she boogie,
She do the tube snake boogie.
All her books are closed in scatters
And she feels that nothing matters to her
Outside this dream her sister frequents
Like a cobweb catching fragments
She approaches like a vision
She says “Anna, do you hear me?”
But the picture’s always shuttered
All the distant thoughts that flutter to her
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you’ve been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little caf just around the bend
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me?
I am calling you
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me
So, ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
“Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely,
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?”
That’s what I’d say, I’d tell you everything
If you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
How is your life? How is it going?
Are you still dreaming and making big plans?
How are the nights? Are they still lonely?
Are you still struggling the way that I am?
Oh, how are you?
There are places I remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life, I’ve loved them all
Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had
Billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain’t gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin’ off of the people’s taxes
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
'Cuz I’m the tax man
Yeah, I’m the tax man
I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this
I’ve been to the table, and i’ve lost it all before
I’m willin’ and able, always comin’ back for more
Squeezin’ out a thin dime ‘til there’s no one hanging on my arm
I’ve gambled on a third time, a fool will tell you it’s a charm
If i’m bettin’ on a loser, i’m gonna have a devil to pay
But it’s the only game i know to play, it doesn’t matter anyway
Games people play, you take it or leave it
Things that they say just don’t make it right
If I’m tellin’ you the truth right now, do you believe it?
Games people play in the middle of the night
We’re playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the Mantra peace on earth
We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil
Doing the mind guerrilla
Some call it magic the search for the grail
Oh, my own life is all I can hope to control.
Oh, let my life be lived for the good,
Good of my soul.
Let it bring
Peace
Sweet peace
Peace will come
And let it begin with me
She’s a Dior girl
Twisting round the world
Midnight crush boogie scene
Firm fixed expression
Sensual, tender, smooth
Sexual panther, beautifully cool
Sweet soul sister
Keep on pushing til the dawn
Sweet soul sister
Forever dancing on and on
In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn
Prettiest woman you ever laid eyes on
Then a man of low degree stood by her side
And promised her he’d take her for his bride
Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was a-meeting you here today
To take you to his mansion in the sky?
