Just got back from Paris France. All they do is sing and dance. All they got is romance. What a tragedy. . Every boulevard has lovers. Every lover's in a trance.
The night is getting on, the band is getting show. The crowd is almost gone and here we are still dancin'. Nothing to do but waltz. Our feet can barely move, my legs are yellin'"Whoa".
This morning I was born again and a light shines on my land. I no longer look for heaven in your deathly distant land. I do not want your pearly gates don't want your streets of gold.
Big fake snowflakes hanging from the streetlights. Marsh mellow children bundled up real tight. Short fuses, long lines, so much for a silent night. Then magically we all wake up.
Look at the happy people. Christmas is in the air. Well, I know the secret of Christmas. A secret Im willing to share. (Oh, right, yeah, yeah). . Its not the glow you feel when snow appears.

I've got a feeling, call it intuition. I've got a feeling we're getting into something more. You've been talking telling me your secrets. Baby, that's just a crack in the door.
I wake up to the sunshine. Out my window. And the passin sound. Of a homeless man. Singin an ol Cole Porter song. . The faucet leaks. The TVs on the blink again.
Everybody wants an easy ride. On the merry-go-round that we call life. Take your drive on cruise control. Then you wait to find out it's a winding road.
The way his shoulders bore the world. You could see he'd loved the girl. He looked like he'd walked through hell. On a road the rest of us knew well. I said, "friend, I've worn those shoes.
