As I got on a city bus found a vacant seat. I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street. I shouted, to the driver, "Hey, conductor, you must.
Well, now, I'm out here under guard tonight. I wear the ball and chain. Joined up to fight the Yankee cavalry. Oh, we got here cold and hungry. Then they marched us through the rain.
One night I was lookin' high up at the sky. A shootin' star was fallin' and I didn't know why. Whenever it rains like this, I think of you. I am sitting here inside my own universe.
Kind ladies and good gentlemen. You've thrown your dollar down. Walk in and please experience. Feel free to stroll around. We take it to the limit. The competition's fierce.
Can I get a light from you, Mr. Smith?. And do you know where the party is?. I've been walking a blue streak all night long. And I'm tired of looking for a place to piss.
Yeah you know it, we won't forget you. I don't show it, it's all I can do. . You leave it alone, it's all that I want to. You're here on my phone, it's all that you could do.
Monsters of the id. No longer stayin' hid. And terrors of the night. Are out in broad daylight. No need to knock on wood. Don't stop to say a prayer. It won't do any good.
Guess I'll Be Okay. . Ohhhh ohhhh ohhh. I spend all of my time. Waiting by my bedside alone. I guess I'm doing fine. Unless somehow my mood has shown.
Mission bell is ringin' for you. No one 'round and nothin' to do. Memory will fly and will fall. It's something you used to write on the wall. . Chorus:.
(Wall of Voodoo). Performed by Wall of Voodoo. I feel a hot wind on my shoulder. And the touch of a world that is older. Turn the switch and check the number.
Me and my dad. We've got a good thing going. Fishing trips, the hard way's the best. Man-to-man talks, when the going gets tough. The tough get going.
It could have been a million years ago or maybe yesterday. I crawled out of this wilderness, a debt I had to pay. I must have tipped the scales somewhere way back.
They say that I'm a loner. They say that I'm a stooge. But all I've ever wanted. Was back in baton rouge. We'd paddle up the river. Go fishin' in a stream.
Now we were young and we were bold. We were three out on the road. Stayin' up all night and drivin' past the dawn. Me and two from tennessee, up in lights on that marquee.
Drivin' outta vegas in their automobile. She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel. With the windows wide open. . All the money from the store, they'd gambled away.
Look at the way they're walking. All these people around are givin' me looks. Keep a big secret on the quiet side. Where's the nearest place to hide?.
Let's go. Wanted:. Strong and able-bodied worker. Minimum wage. Fifty-eight hour week. . An average joe from the grand design. He breaks his back for big talk.
