Take my license, all that jive
I can’t drive 55!
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There’s something good waitin’ down this road
I’m pickin’ up whatever’s mine
I’m runnin’ down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream
I’m a riding fool who is up to date
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V8
Oh, yippie yi yo kayah, yippie yi yo kayah
We is screamin’ through the valley where the Nishnabotna flows,
Through the mud and crud and cornfields where the mari-ju-wana grows.
'Cross the railroad tracks of Persia, down the hills and up the dale –
Had a CJ-5 with a four-wheel drive and Smokey on my tail.
Get ready to draw the rockets of peace
There’s a showdown tonight on the bright milky way
Ambush the bad man, blow him right out of the east
We’ll be singin’ Yi yippie ky, whoopee ky, yippy aye ay
Hold on to your hats and wear clean underwear
Wrap the wagon train around the green suburban lawns
If we die we’re gonna meet the good Lord up in the air
chantin’ Yippie aye yippie aye, move the little dogies along!
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
You better watch out
You better not cry.
You better not pout.
I’m telling you why:
SSSSSSAAAAANNNNN-ta Clause is coming to town
SSSSSSAAAAANNNNN-ta Clause is coming to town
Santa Clause is coming to town.
(Who?)
When love comes to town I’m gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I’m gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
There’s only one thing gets a Cowboy down,
It’s the kind of trouble that we’ve got in this town:
Frog trouble.
It’s not easy bein’ green
It seems you blend in
With so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
Cause you’re not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
You can look right through me
See right past me
Like I’m not even there!
Harvester of eyes, that’s me
And I see all there is to see
When I look inside your head
Right up front to the back of your skull
Rescued by the first light
Receiving us with these tears
Feeling your gaze in the back of my eyes
Leaving worlds this way
Seeing out the angels
From the shadow of a day
That stands alone and crying young
Even Siberia goes through the motions.
Hold out and hold up;
Hold down the window.
Outbound, river,
Hold out the morning that comes into view.
Show me a sign of troubles in your heart
Spare me your lies and tell me that you’re mine
And our bodies float on the river
To the oceans of demise
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
Fall into the ocean
The river to the ocean goes
A fortune for the undertow
None of this is going my way
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
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
What’s your name, little girl?
What’s your name?
Shootin’ you straight, little girl?
For there ain’t no shame
Look at that flesh
Pink and plump.
Hello, little girl…
Tender and fresh,
Not one lump.
Hello, little girl…
This one’s especially lush,
Delicious…
Hello, little girl,
What’s your rush?
You’re missing all the flowers.
The sun won’t set for hours,
Take your time.
