It was an April morning when they told us we should go 
As I turn to you, you smiled at me 
How could we say no? 

With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had 
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again 

Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know 
Below the streets that steam and hiss, 
The devil's in his hole 

Oh to sail away,
To sandy lands and other days 
Oh to touch the dream,
Hides inside and never seen. 

Into the sun the south the north,
At last the birds have flown 
The shackles of commitment fell,
In pieces on the ground 

Oh to ride the wind,
To tread the air above the din 
Oh to laugh aloud,
Dancing as we fought the crowd 

To seek the man whose pointing hand,
The giant step unfolds 
With guidance from the curving path,
That churns up into stone 

If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king 
So fast the heart should beat,
As proud the head with heavy feet. 

Days went by when you and I,
Bathed in eternal summers glow 
As far away and distant,
Our mutual child did grow 

Oh the sweet refrain,
Soothes the soul and calms the pain 
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again 

Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search 
The mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth 

The mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth 
From the earth... 

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way 
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas,
Hold the heavens from the earth. 

You said I was the only,
With my lemon in your hand 
Exhibition is your habit,
Emotion second hand. 
Had to pull away to save me,
Maybe next time around 
And she said, 'don't you wanna'?  
Don't you wanna cook it, cook it, cook it? 
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to try it,
Fry it, na na na yeah.

Heard a cry for mercy,
In the city of the damned 
Oh oh babe, damned.
Down in the pits you go no lower
The next stop's underground.
Oh, hello underground.
Wine and roses ain't quite over, fate deals a losing hand
And I said: didn't mean to... did not mean to fail 
You didn't plan it, you over-ran it 

You wanna do it, you wanna 
You wanna do it when you wanna 
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna 

When you blow it, babe,
You got to blow it right 
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama,
Baby, fake with all your might 
When you fake it, mama,
Please fake it right  (for yourself babe)

When you fake it baby,
You're fakin' it for your life, for your life,
for your life, for your life 
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna 
Do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna 

Oh, I can have you, baby,
But I don't know what to do, yeah 
Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do 
On the balance of a crystal,
Payin' through the nose 
And when they couldn't resist you,
I thought you'd go with the flow.

And now your stage is empty,
Bring down the curtain, baby please. 
Fold up your show 
Hadn't planned to,
Could not stand to fry in it
Hadn't planned it,
I over-ran it, (fryin) 
For your life, For your life. 

One time love, take care how you use it 
Try to make it last all night,
And if you take your pick 
Be careful how you choose it,
Sometimes its hard to feel it bite 
Feel it bite. 

A man I know, went down to Louisiana, 
had himself a bad, bad fight 
And when the sun peeked through 
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left & right 
Whiskers! 

Now, now, now, fright subsides 
Out at a hotel in the quarter,
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.
Whiskers! 

Down on Bourbon street, You know it's right 
You can see my friend, they run around all through the night 
Most everywhere, Until the closet's bare 
Run for the razor, Doin' up my hair 

New Orleans queens, Sure know how to schmooze it 
Maybe for some that seems alright 
When I step out, strut down with my sugar 
She'd best not talk like Barry White! 

One time love, take care how you use it 
Try to make it last all night,
And if you take your pick 
Be careful how you choose it,
Sometimes its hard to feel it bite 
Feel it bite. 

Nobody's fault but mine 
Nobody's fault but mine 
Trying to save my soul tonight 
It's nobody's fault but mine 

Devil he told me to roll  
Devil he told me to roll 
How to roll the log tonight 
Nobody's fault but mine 

Brother he showed me the gong? 
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong 
How to roll, the log tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine 

Got a monkey on my back.  
Got a monkey on my back. 
Gonna change my ways tonight 
Nobody's fault but mine 

I will get down rollin' tonight
Nobody's fault

Well... Oh baby baby. Don't you want a man like me? 
Oh baby baby, I'm just as sweet as anybody could be 
Oh baby baby, I want to look to your eyes, of blue 
Oh baby baby, It's more than anybody else could do 

Well... Oh baby baby.
You know when I see you walkin down the street 
Oh baby baby, Well you lookin good enough to eat 
Oh baby baby, I dont believe I've tasted this before 
Oh baby baby, I want it now 
And every mouthfull more of you. 

Talk about you, Yeah. 

Oh baby baby, You know that I wanted it more 
Oh baby baby, I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store 
Oh baby baby, It ain't the wrapping that sells the goods 
Oh baby baby, I got a sweet tooth when my mouth is full of you. 

Ooh baby oh baby its alright, its alright 
Ohh baby its alright...its alright 

Well, oh baby, baby, oh you sting like a bee
Oh baby, baby, I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh baby, baby, I got my spoon inside your jar
Oh baby, baby, don't give me too much, don't make me starve

Oh baby, baby, sugar sister on a silver plate
Oh baby, baby, I need a mouthful and I just can't wait
Oh baby, baby, see the shaking in my hand
Oh baby, baby, don't mean to fumble but it tastes so grand
Tastes so grand, tastes so grand, baby it's alright 

Oh baby it's alright, oh it's alright 
It's alright... (repeat) 

I was burned in the heat of the moment, 
Though it couldn't have been the heat of the day 
When I learned how my time had been wasted, 
(And a) tear fell as I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder, 
Event I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older 
I've got friends who will give me fuck all 

(On the) corner of Bleeker and nowhere 
In the land of not quite day 
A shiver runs down my backbone 
Face in the mirror turns grey

So (I) looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman 
To my surprise he'd melted away. 

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay 
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward. 

Lost on the path to attainment 
Search in the eyes of the wise 
When I bled from the heart of the matter 
I started bleeding without a disguise 

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause 
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around 
Or you'll land in a boat without oars 
Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe, 
I lost my way. 

Hey babe, Hey babe, 
I don't know where I'm gonna find it. 

Hey babe, Hey babe, 
Do you wanna know, 
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah? 

Let me tell you now, babe 
Let me tell you 
That it feels so good that it must be right 

Now my babe, 
Let me tell you 
That it feels so good that it must be right... 

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days? 
Oh twenty-four hours,
Baby sometimes seem to slip into days 
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way 
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow 
I've been watchin for the hands to move 
Until I just can't look no more 
How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes seems to slip into days? 
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way. 

To sing a song for you,
I recall you used to say 
"Oh baby this one's for we two",
Which in the end is you anyway 

How come twenty four hours,
Baby sometimes slip into days? 
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way. 

There was a time that I stood tall,
In the eyes of other men 
But by my own choice I left you woman,
And now I can't get back again 

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days? 
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby when I feel this way 
A minute seems like a lifetime 
When I feel this way...I feel this way
