Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie


But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time to be in love
A bad time to be in love

On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said, "Leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone

Looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on

Its just a matter of time
Before you make up your mind
And give all the love that you've been hiding
Its just a question of when
Told you time and again
I'll get all the love you've been denying

 

Sooner or later, love is gonna get ya
Sooner or later, girl you got to give in
Sooner or later, love is gonna let 'cha
Sooner or later, love is gonna win

Two dozen other dirty lovers
Must be a sucker for it
Cry, cry but I don't need my mother
Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it

 

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down
Sooner or later you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save it for later, don't run away and let me down, you let me down

Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Oh, down beside that red firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat-bottomed girls, you make the rockin' world go 'round

She's the only one, makes me feel so good (makes me feel so good)
I can't believe my luck so I knock on wood (so I knock on wood)
All my sorrows and fears seem to fly away (seem to fly away)
And she looks at me as if to say


My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin'
She's got what it takes
And she knows how to use it

If I could
Baby, I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me?

 

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Here's a little trap
That sometimes catches everyone
When today's as far as we can see
Faith in bright tomorrows
Giving way to resignation
That's how it is, how it's going to be

 

It's such a cloudy day
Seems we'll never see the sun
Feel the day has possibilities
Frozen in the moment
The lack of imagination
Between how it is and how it ought to be
Between how it is and how it ought to be

Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone

I chose this place to call my own
The only grace I've ever known
I never tire of legends grown
We dream too much and time has flown

Eiledon, I will be there
Eiledon, my dream is there

So let me fill my children's hearts
With heroes' tales, and hope it starts
A fire in them so deeds are done
With no vain sighs for moments gone

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'

 

No, I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party

Now the folks around south Louisiana
Said Amos was a hell of a man
He could trap the biggest, the meanest alligator
And just use one hand

That's all he got left 'cause alligator bit it
Left arm gone, clean up to the elbow

See you later, Alligator
After 'while crocodile
See you later, Alligator
After 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style

Going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a c00n
Well, I'm going down to the swamp
Gonna watch me a hound dog catch a c00n
You know the hounddog make-a music
On a summer night under a full moon

If you ever go back into Wooly Swamp, well you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That'd make a strong man die from fright
There's things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucias Clay gets up and it walks around.

 

But I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it, I never would listen to nobody else
No I couldn't believe it, I just had to find out for myself
That there's some things in this world you just can't explain.

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood


Hey there, Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big, bad wolf could want
Listen to me

 

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky ol' woods alone
Awooh!
