… Do-do-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah

 

… Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense

 

… I love these girls who're passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting, oh, on a friend

There the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home in about three hours time

This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
And I'm stuck here on the ground as cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

You can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So, I'd best be on my way in the early morning rain

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
Think I see my friends coming
Riding a many mile
Friends did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?

… Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know, the last one to show
I was the last one you thought you'd see there

 

… And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you, said, "Honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain"

 

… 'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be OK

All my life, I've been searching for something
Something never comes, never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around and it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

… Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach
Starin' at the situation
Kitty at my foot
Meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back and forth
That's my only destination

 

… Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me

And I could have done so many things, baby
If I could only stop my mind
From wondering what I left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time

 

The love has come and gone
The years keep rushing on
I remember what you told me
Before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together
You got to leave it alone

 

So you can get on with your search, baby
And I can get on with mine
Maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time

You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me
You've got to give it to me

 

You're so slick now, know every trick now
You know I want it, I want it so bad
You know I need it, I can't believe it
So come on baby, Please relieve it

There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die

 

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time

I think I wanna know ya (Know ya)
Jungle love (Oh-we-oh-we-oh)
Girl, I'd love to show ya (Show ya)

Da Da, ooooh
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (play on, play on, play on...)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!

 

All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long (all night), All night (all night)
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

People dancing all in the street

When I wake up, I know I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna be the man that wakes up next to you.
And when I go out, I what I'm gonna be.
I'm gonna be the man that goes along with you.
And if I get drunk, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you.
And if I haber(?). Whatever that means.
I'm gonna be the man who's habering(?) with you!

But I would walk 500 Miles.
And I would walk 500 more.
To be your man, who walked one thousand  miles to fall down at your door!

Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed

Just yesterday mornin', they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

 

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a, Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

Kiss me, (kiss me) down by the broken tree house
Swing me, (swing me) upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, (bring, bring) bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

 

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street

 

You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Soon oh soon the light
Pass within and soothe this endless night
And wait here for you
Our reason to be here

 

Soon oh soon the time
All we move to gain will reach and calm
Our heart is open
Our reason to be here

 

Long ago, set into rhyme

 

Soon oh soon the light
Ours to shape for all time, ours the right
The sun will lead us
Our reason to be here

I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown

 

I stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoes
Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the blues

 

And his promise made was never clear
It just carved itself in me

All I saw was frost inside my head
On the night he said to me

 

Someday we live like horses
Free rein from your old iron fences
There's more ways than one to regain your senses
Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses
