Look for a while at the china cat sunflower, Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun. Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono, Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peekin through a lace bandanna, Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack. A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle, To a double-e waterfall over my back.
Comic book colors on a violin river cryin leonardo, Words from out a silk trombone. I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls, In the eagle-winged palace of the queen chinee
I need a woman bout twice my age A lady of nobility, gentility and rage Splendor in the dark, lightning on the draw Well go right through the book and break each and every law
I got a feeling and it wont go away, oh no Just one thing then Ill be ok I need a miracle every day
I need a woman bout twice my height Statuesque, raven-dressed, a goddess of the night Her secret incantations, a candle burning blue Well consult the spirits maybe theyll know what to do
And its real and it wont go away, oh no I cant get around and I cant run away I need a miracle every day
I need a woman bout twice my weight A ton of fun who packs a gun with all her freight Find her in a sideshow leave her in L.A. Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave
And its real, believe what I say, yeah Just one thing I got to say I need a miracle every day
It takes dynamite to get me up Too much of everything is just enough One more thing I just got to say I need a miracle every day, I need a miracle every day, I need a miracle every day, (got to be the only way) I need a miracle
>Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
This old engine makes it on time, Leaves Central Station ’bout a quarter to nine, Hits River Junction at seventeen two, At a quarter to ten you know it’s drivin’ again.
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Trouble ahead, Lady in red, Take my advice you’d be better off dead. Switchman’s sleeping, train hundred and two is On the wrong track and headed for you.
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Trouble with you is the trouble with me, Got two good eyes but we still don’t see. Come round the bend, you know it’s the end, The fireman screams and the engine just gleams…
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better, watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind. And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, you know, trouble behind. And you know that notion just crossed my mind.
Sugar Magnolia blossom’s blooming Head’s all empty and I don’t care Saw my baby down by the river Knew she’d have to come up soon for air
Sweet blossom come on under the willow We can have high times if you’ll abide We can discover the wonders of nature Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
She’s got everything delightful She’s got everything I need Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double Pays my ticket when I speed
She come skimming through rays of violet She can wade in a drop of dew She don’t come and I don’t follow Waits backstage while I sing to you
She can dance a Cajun rhythm Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive She’s a summer love in the spring, fall and winter She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia Ringin’ that blue bell Caught up in sunlight Come on out singing I’ll walk you in the sunshine Come on honey, come along with me
She’s got everything delightful She’s got everything I need A breeze in the pines in the summer night moonlight Crazy in the sunlight yes indeed
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying When the moon is halfway down Sometimes when the night is dying I take me out and I wander round I wander round
Sunshine daydream Walkin through the tall trees Going where the wind goes Blooming like a red rose Breathing more freely Light out singing I’ll walk you in the morning sunshine Sunshine daydream Walk you in the sunshine
Truckin’ got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin’, like the do-dah man Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans New York’s got the ways and means; but just won’t let you be, oh no
Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home One of these days they know they better get goin’ Out of the door and down on the streets all alone
Truckin’, like the do-dah man. Once told me “You’ve got to play your hand” Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay’em down
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it’s been
What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same Livin’ on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine All a friend can say is “Ain’t it a shame?”
Truckin’, up to Buffalo. Been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on
Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again I’d like to get some sleep before I travel But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in
Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin’ pin Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin. They just won’t let you be, oh no
You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’ Get out of the door and light out and look all around
Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it’s been
Truckin’, I’m a goin’ home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin’ on Hey now get back truckin’ home
In another time’s forgotten space your eyes looked from your mother’s face, wildflower seed on sand and stone may the four winds blow you safely home.
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
I’ll tell you where the four winds dwell, In Franklin’s tower there hangs a bell, It can ring — turn night to day It can ring like fire when you lose your way.
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
God save the child that rings that bell, It may have one good ring, baby you can’t tell, One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused listen to the music play
Some come to laugh their past away Some come to make it just one more day; Whichever way your pleasure tends If you plant ice, you’re gonna harvest wind
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
In Franklin’s tower the four winds sleep, Like four lean hounds the lighthouse keep, Wildflower seeds in the sand and wind May the four winds blow you home again
Roll away the dew, roll away the dew Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew –roll away! Roll away the dew, you better roll away the dew –roll away! Roll away the dew, roll away the dew –roll away! Roll away the dew, roll away the dew
