Cold beer and a strange cigarette Getting you high getting you wet Falling in love falling out of debt Straight gay black or white Strutting in the dark hiding in the light Doing it wrong doing it right just doing it You got your life on the one hand Mine in the other I got the right we all got the right One mans meat is the other mans lousy luck One mans meat is someones empty well One mans meat is some guys aching butt One mans meat is another mans living hell Short fat thick or thin Take it in the gut take it on the chin Living in glory living in sin Hard days work going down slow Riding the road where the greengrass grows Watching in die what dyou know Watch it One mans meat is the other mans lousy luck One mans meat is someones empty well One mans meat is some guys aching butt One mans meat is another mans living hell

I’ve been watching you dancing all night long Your legs go on forever Exquisite synchronicity, they never stayed together My head’s spinning, keeping focused on my mind and building this I don’t know who you are but I’m enslaved to make your service Makes you fall in line A moving silhouette It’s your body line You do that thing you read Make you fall in line Clearly defined It’s your body line A perfect outline, so divine Chilling to half it must’ve been hazy Smoking my eye a poppin Fight for your country, you got something to gain No one but Mike Jones driving Girl come in and out, my excuse to get me is in danger No will but that’s like just emptied it Wouldn’t want to be disillusion Makes you fall in line So heavenly ashamed It’s your body line My oh my, oh my, oh my Make you fall in line A perfect outline, so divine Body line When we’re moving, connection Well bring me to the main view It seems to want distraction But what I need
Dont get me started, lets get it right Theres no use to talk about it deep into the night Dont ask about secrets I could tell Im gonna keep them to myself No bad decisions, no good advice No time to think about it even once or twice No second chances looking down the road When theres the only way, only way to go Oh it makes me wonder Whats going on inside my head Well could it be the pressure that Im under Makes me forget the things I never said I cant remember, I cant forget Take it from me theres not a moment of regret Since the day I learned to tie my shoes I found it hard to spread the news Oh it makes me wonder Whats going on inside my head Well could it be the pressure that Im under Makes me forget the things I never said Its hard to swallow, its hard to take When I think about it now my knees begin to shake Never came to me to mention at the time Tell the truth it never crossed my mind Oh it makes me wonder Whats going on inside my head Well could it be the pressure that Im under Makes me forget the things I never said Oh it makes me wonder Whats going on inside my head Could it be the pressure that Im under Makes me forget the things I never said

Consider your position position your defense Why dont you let me ask you is it mere coincidence Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain Listen to the wind - a silent scream Tearing at your broken heart Like a forgotten dream And theres a time for peace a time for war Wondering what weve been put here for A time for giving a time to take A time for love and a time for hate A time for beg and a time to steal So you gamble on that spinning wheel Of all these things Ive had my fill Lord I need some time to kill Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got You thing youve got the given right to take another shot Ill take away your money all youve got is coloured beads Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds Theres a time for passion a time for pain A time to learn that were all the same A time to remember a time to forget Wondering how were going to pay our debts A time for thunder a time for rain Waiting for the seasons to change Of all these things Ive had my fill Lord I need some time to kill
My clothes dont fit and I have no point of view I got a bad reputation but I dont believe its true I had something going but I blew it down the can Not exactly what I planned Im a ramshackle man Thats what I am I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack Shuffling around never get to the top of the park I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand But he couldnt give a damn Im a ramshackle man Thats what I am I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do I start out fine then I pick up something new Stumbled through the door thats how it all began Now its buried in the sand Im a ramshackle man Thats what I am The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play Never feeling more than Im feeling right here today I used to be fresh but now Im second hand I do what I can Im a ramshackle man Thats what I am Im a ramshackle man Thats what I am

Some say the state of Texas Could accommodate the entire human population Five point six billion versions of the truth Under one roof, some revelation Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat Theres no going back Its a lie, its a fact Has the cat got your tongue Been too long in the sun Theres dust on your tracks Theres no going back Come to think of its a load of monkeys Every time you listen to your sun kissed lovers words Evil Louie is tomorrows sadness Its a game of madness in a perfect world Some would say French cuisines more appealing Than a cold drink, burgers and fries Some have said that a pillar of society An upright citizens incapable of lust and crime Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat But he dont stand a change With his pants around his ankles

Im in a bad spot babe I cant hear what you say Id love to stop and talk You keep fading away Just the way she said it Something in her tone Always so convincing But shes good on the phone Ill wait until shes ready That could be a while She always takes her time Then she turns up in style Something not right Didnt recognise the car Women being what they are There is no sense of reason In a reasonable world Makes any sense at all To a reasonable girl She said you know what I mean But I couldnt understand Didnt know what she said Im a reasonable man It wasnt meant that way I was only having fun She looked me in the eye But the damage was done I got the vague impression She was under my thumb I looked the other way And I had to succumb Girls like that I want girls like that Girls like that I like girls like that

Georgia, Georgia The whole day through Just a little song Keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind Georgia, Georgia Just a song of you Comes as sweet and clear As moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see The road leads back to you My Georgia, my Georgia No peace I find Just a little song Keeps Georgia on my mind
No one sees the things you do Because I stand in front of you But you drive me all the time You put the evil in my mind I used to sing and say my prayers Live my life without a care Now I have become a fool I tried to listen to the mule How can I change when my mind Is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground Just another slave for the mule
Maybe its because Im only starting That I think it wont take too long Maybe its because I can see you laughing That I think youve got it wrong Maybe I could be like Robin Hood Like an outlaw dressed all in green Someone said whats he gonna turn out like And someone else said never mind Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old As all the cats Id ever seen I grew my hair and bought a suit Of shiny white or was it cream I shook and shivered danced and quivered And stood on a mountain top No one came from miles around and said Man your music is really hot Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak My throat was tired and worn My pretty face just looked out of place As they poured on the scorn I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king He said, My boy, well have some crazy scenes There werent any scenes at all like he was talkin about He mustve been the king of queens Well I could write a million songs about the things Ive done But I could never sing them so theyd never get sung Theres a law for the rich and one for the poor And theres another one for singers Its die young and live much longer Spend your money and sit and wonder No one came for miles around And said man your music is really funky I believe that I must tell the truth And say things as they really are But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth Could I ever be a star? Nobody knows whos real and whos fakin Everyones shouting out loud Its only the glitter and shine that gets through Wheres my Robin Hood outfit? Well Ive come and Ive gone before you wink an eye No one ever cared enough to say goodbye The moneys good and the time you have Fun and games galore But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten And you wonder what you did it for No one came from miles around And said man whos he?

Can you remember, remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold, cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning the echo of a point in time And distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind Youve got to understand We must remain Perfect strangers I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life, your tears are lost in falling rain And if you hear me talking on the wind Youve got to understand We must remain Perfect strangers

We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didnt have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water But burning down They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out He was pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race, now Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare With the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there Few red lights and a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know well never forget Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water
