Be Bayou
I want to be Bayou/ Floating away with you
Where you’re going to,/ I’m going too
Cuz I want to be bayou/ Be Bayou Be bayou oh oh
I want to be bayou be bayou
Keep your mountains /so hard to climb
And your deserts/so hot and dry
Give me the warm, wet and wild of your easy ways
I want to be Bayou/ Floating away with you
Where you’re going to,/ I’m going too
Cuz I want to be bayou/ Be Bayou Be bayou oh oh
I want to be bayou be bayou
We’re off the map, on a brand new route
No one does it the way you do
You make the same into something new A world all your own
If we’re lucky we’ll see the sun go down
A day well spent is like a leaf on the ground
I’m gonna find you when it comes around,
Again and again and again
The Bones
Those bones, they are dancing on their own
You see those bones, they are parading down the road
Look at those bones, they are dancing on their own
You see those bones, they are parading down the road
Let me paint you a picture of some spooky things ,That voodoo man, they call him the king
He crafts his magic over everything Turns an average evening into a wild scene
Because those bones, they are dancing on their own
You see those bones, they are parading down the road
Look at those bones, they are dancing on their own
You see those bones, they are parading down the road
All of us lifeless until darkness falls Til the spirit moves us, one and all
We’re walking dead in the daylight hours, Then the drums starts beating and the trumpets sound
Because those bones, they are dancing on their own
You see those bones, they are parading down the road
You see those bones, they are dancing on their own
Look at those bones, they are parading down the road
People fill the street, what a sight to see
The prettiest of the dead, are leading the parade
Dancing in the Darkness
Alice hands me a slice of cake
Insisting that I eat
She pours me a cocktail
And says “let’s spill some tea.”
From the corner of the room
We watch the party play
Sitting in the cheap seats
Cause all the worlds a stage
Words of wisdom whispered and the touching of a hand
By a man with glowing eyes, dressed As Peter Pan
He said things are getting strange here
Get out while you can
That’s when I asked the lion, am I your lamb
Life is a costume party
glitter on your tongue
An evening spent as someone else is our idea of fun
Lipstick left upon your check
I’ll sing your favorite song
Dancing in the darkness
But leave before the lights come on
Is this purgatory, is this Halloween
I see ladies in waiting
But where the hell is the queen
We’re all watching from a balcony
The parade is rolling by
Ask the Prohibitionist
How the hell he’d stay so dry
I’m looking for Cecelia
She promised me a hit
I said “my well is empty.”
But she don’t give a shit
I’m knocking on that cellar door
Hoping Joan will let me in
She bends the ear of god
And I have a complaint
The hermit lies there napping
I’m flirting with the fool
The star has chosen to abstain
From drinking with the moon
The sun has said” it’s time to go.
Leave your pentacles and cups.
The cards won’t do you any good
If you don’t shuffle the deck.”
Damn everything but the circus
Damn everything but the circus
Damn everything but the circus
Save the carnival
Hell, or High Water
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
When I was a child, I heard that thunder all around
I ran to her side as that lightening crashed
I remember the day my mother looked at me
She said baby, that storm that’s out at sea… I bet it’s something to see
So young at heart I was land locked, I loved my man
But something had started to erode
He saw his horizons were only caging me
He said baby, that storm that’s out at sea…I bet it’s something to see
Girl in the world in a man’s land, I crave the ocean
Where my mother nature, she is unbound
Swim like a mermaid, sing like a siren, wild and free,
because baby that storm that’s out at sea…that storm is calling me
Hell, or High water, this is where I’ll be
Because baby that storm that out at sea…well that storm is me
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
I will be here, Hell or High Water
Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water
Lady Luck
Lady luck won’t you look my way
Put some love on this hand I play
Seems I’ve been losing all my days
So, lady luck won’t you look my way
Flip that card and my heart stops
Raise that bet right to the top
Jack makes a flush my blood will rush
I’m in the arms of lady luck
Lady luck won’t you look my way
Put some love on this hand I play
Seems I’ve been losing all my days
So, lady luck won’t you look my way
King of Hearts, he had me down
Waiting for him to come around
I kissed the top of a thousand crowns
It would not turn this hand around so…
Lady luck won’t you look my way
Put some love on this hand I play
Seems I’ve been losing all my days
So, lady luck won’t you look my way
Look upon me with your favor let your love be mine
With your fickle affection love me just this time
Ship is Sinking
If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing
And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing
We are under attack, all hands on deck
This vessels going down, What will the papers say
Those minstrels chose to play, as the water rose around
If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing
La la la la law la la la la lawww law
And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing
La la la la law la la la la lawww law
Just open up your eyes, don’t you want to see things
From the other side, feel your heart beat again
We’ll make a dead man rise, he’ll dance by the fireside
Cause were all dying here, there’s nothing left to fear
If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing
La la la la law la la la la lawww law
And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing
La la la la law la la la la lawww law
We wont go quietly into these angry seas
They’re gonna hear us coming
They’re gonna hear us coming
USOS (United States of Suckers)
That old river started calling my name
Way across those country planes
Hills that circle fell away to distant lands
As her currents pulled me in like a grain of sand
Sinking low beneath the Mason Dixon line
I found a home from another place and time
Seducing me so there’s nothing that I miss
As she picks my pocket while she’s stealing a kiss…
Way beneath this angry sea
It’s the wild west in this big easy
The bass players drunk
But he’s still playing in key
In these united states of suckers…
these rules don’t apply to me
the only time we march in line is in that old parade
we might wear a mask, but we don’t play the charade
that native son, he’ll never say that you belong
he can’t deny that beat in your heart is a New Orleans song
I’ll just sit here finishing my wine
and let the rest of the world run on a dime
first or last, we all cross that finish line
me and my friends, we prefer to take our time
Way beneath this angry sea
It’s the wild west in this big easy
The bass players drunk
But he’s still playing in key
In these united states of suckers…
these rules don’t apply to me
You might loose your mind
She may save your soul
While everyone you keeps saying
Let the good times roll
Way beneath this angry sea
It’s the wild west in this big easy
The bass players drunk
But he’s still playing in key
In these united states of suckers…
these rules don’t apply to me
