Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

 

He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about ev'rything

Well, you wake up in the mornin'
You hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table
You see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table
And no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy
You get in trouble with the man

 

Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine a light on me
Let the Midnight Special shine an ever-lovin' light on me

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bed
Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg
(I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about)
Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed

Some girls give me money, some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry, that I never thought I'd own

Some girls give me diamonds, some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to, I don't ever want it back

Some girls give me jewelry, others buy me clothes
Some girls give me children, I never asked them for

I'm not tryin' to be your hero
'Cause that zero is too cold for me (Brr)
I'm not tryin' to be your highness
'Cause that minus, is too low to see, yeah

 

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
And I'm not stuffin', believe you me
Don't you remember I told ya
I'm a soldier, in the war on poverty, yeah
Yes, I am

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah

Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission

'Cause when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

Do you hear me

Do you care

Do you hear me

Do you care

 

My lips are moving and the sound's coming out

The words are audible but I have my doubts

That you realize what has been said

You look at me as if you're in a daze

It's like the feeling at the end of the page

When you realize you don't know what you just read

 

What are words for

when no one listens anymore

What are words for when no one listens

What are words for

when no one listens

it's no use talkin at all

You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight

If I ever want to fly
Mulholland Drive
I am alive

Hollywood is under me
I'm Martin Sheen
I'm Steve McQueen
I'm Jimmy Dean

You are the star tonight
You shine electric outta sight
Your light eclipsed the moon tonight
Electrolite
You're outta sight

Outta sight, buy your kicks from the man in the white
Feels all right, powder pleasure in your nose tonight
See the men paint their faces and cry
(Like some girls) Like some girl, it makes you wonder why
City life, sure its cool, but it cuts like a knife, it's your life

 

So forget all that you see
It's not reality, it's just a fantasy

Can't you see what this crazy life is doin' to me?
Life is just a fantasy, can you live this fantasy life?

That it’s the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh..That it’s the salt that’s in our tears
Oh..’Cause we could have come so very far
Oh..In at least as many years!

Take the highway through the Great Divide

Last Sunday morning the sunshine, felt like rain
The week before they all, seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly

So I, ain't a-wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things

So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

The sun peekin' out between the leaves (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin' in and out of the trees (grazin' in the grass, yes, baby, can you dig it?)

 

Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it's real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it?

 

I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it. Can you dig it, baby?

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

 

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know
That it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?

 

Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no, and when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told 'em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

 

The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

 

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was

 

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

 

Ooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooh, what a lucky man he was
