Make It

good evening people, welcome to the show
got something here I want you all to know
when laughin' people bring on primal screams
you got to think of what it's gonna take to make your dreams
make it
don't break it
I said make it
don't break it
do then ya feel like the world's coming down on you
you know that history repeats itself
but you just learned so by somebody else
you know you do, you gotta think up fast
you gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
make it
don't fake it
said make it
don't fake it
better weather, pull yourself together
don't be catchin' the blues
better weather, pull yourself together
what have you got to lose
you're only paying your dues
if you're gone I'll get you anyway
although you know what you've been going through

Up

Somebody

I need a lady, not somebody shady
need someone to be close to
somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
help me see my whole day through
someone to share the load
somebody to walk the road I live on... live!
good Lord send me, good Lord mend me
send me down someone for me
said I won't be choosy, you could send me a floozy
send me anybody you please
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, some-somebody for me
now won't you send me somebody
yeah, somebody
won't you send me somebody
now won't you send me somebody
well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
call woman, woman, come on to me
save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)

Up

Dream On

every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay

yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win

half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you

sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

dream on, dream on, dream on,
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true
dream on

One Way Street

hey look on yonder, what's that I see
well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
say, listen babe, don't go wastin' your time
you keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
you got a thousand boys, you say you need 'em
you take what's good for you and I'll take my freedom
'cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I gotta go the other way
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
how could my sunshine be so damn shady
she'll say she love to talk a conversation
but I'm the one that makes my situation
this one way city, that I thought I knew
it's such a pity honey, that's it for you
there's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
you know your brother Spike, he's on the level
but you always lookin' like you're mad at the devil
don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
it's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten
you know I work so hard to keep it alive
now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I really been feelin' like I could be movin' on
your head's like a one way street
when you're foolin' everybody you meet
your head's like a one way street
you got to get yourself back on your feet

Mama Kin

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,

Write Me A Letter

I'm goin' away
well I've been away forever

I said, the ways of the night are evil
without that lord of day
but I'll never get so far away
I said write me

she good, she good to me
said there's no way to explain the kind of feeling that you get out in the
she good, she good to me

I love her
well I've been so many places
hidin' from the wind and the rain

Movin' Out

we all live on the edge of town
where we all live ain't a soul around
people start a-comin', all we do is just a-grin
said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out cause the city's movin' in
tell me who ya know, and I'll tell ya who too
go see my friend and he'll set you free
tell me what you need and maybe I can go too
no one knows the way but maybe me
nobody goes there, nobody shows where
nobody knows where you can find me
good morning glory, halleluh to ya
what is the story and what's been goin' through ya?
livin' like a king off the fat of the land
workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

we're movin' - we're gettin' out
we're movin' - without a doubt
we're movin' - we're goin' far
we're movin' - oh yes we are


level with God and you're in tune with the universe
talk with yourself and you'll hear what you wanna know
gotta rise above cause below it's only gettin' worse
life in time will take you where you wanna go, where you wanna go, x's a bunch
baby catch ya round, I don't know where I'm goin'

Walkin' The Dog

Mary Mac, dressed in black
silver buttons up and down her back
I know, 'cause I love her so
she broke a needle, now she can't sew
walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
ask your mama for fifteen cents
to see the elephant jump the fence
it jumped so high, it touched the sky
didn't come back till the fourth of July
mary mary, quite contrary
how does your garden grow
well well, silver bells, and little bitty bitty white shells
pretty maids all in a row

Get Your Wings

Same Old Song And Dance

get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
coincidental murder, with nothing to show
with the judge, constipation will go to his head
and his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend

gotcha with the cocaine they found with your gun
[ alt: shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun ]
no smoothy face laywer to getcha undone
say love ain't the same on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

it's the same old story, same old song and dance, my friend
it's the same old story, same old story
same old song and dance

fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
your old time connection, change your direction
ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend

when you're low down and dirty, from walkin' the street
with your old hurdy-gurdy, no one to meet
say love ain't the same, on the south side of town
you could look, but you ain't gonna find it around

I'm waiting for my girls, when you call my eyes.
You got no way to make a man honey,
You got to understand.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

Well, well, Lordie my God,
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor,
Make it perfectly clear.
You're the bait, and you're the hook,
Someone 'bound to take a look.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.

You must of come here to find it,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!

stagecoach lady, hourglass body
making things glow in the night
well, she would if she could, and she'd be good if she would only

and it's too bad, can't get me none of that!
Salt Lake City, salt-lickin' bitties
Roses honey stinkin' of gin

Train Kept A Rollin'

Well, on a train, I met a dame,
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City

But I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
Train kept a-rollin' all night long
With a "heave!", and a "ho!"

Seasons Of Wither

blues hearted lady, sleepy was she
love for the devil brought her to me
tears of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in
oooh woe is me, I feel so badly for you
oooh woe is me, I feel so sadly for you in time
bound to lose your mind
live on borrowed time
take the wind right out of your sail
fireflies dance in the heat of
hound dogs that bay at the moon
my ship leaves in the midnight
can't say I'll be back too soon
they awaken, far far away
heat of my candle show me the way
tears of a thousand drawn to her sin
seasons of wither holdin' me in

Pandora's Box

when I'm in heat and someone gets a notion
I jump to my feet, I hoof it to the ocean
we hit a beach where no one give a hoot
nobody never ever wears a suit
the ladies there, they look so proud
that's cause they know that their well endowed
I ain't much on Fannie's conversation
or care to much about her operation
but every time Pandora come my way
I get high, can't explain the sensation
to get it on I got to watch what I say
or I'll catch hell from the women's liberation
sweet Pandora
godlike aura
smellin' like a flora
open up your door-a for me

Uncle Salty

Uncle Salty told me stories of a lonely
baby with a lonely kind of life to lead
my mammy was lusted, Daddy he was busted
they left her to be trusted till the orphan bleeds
but when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

Uncle Salty told me when she was just a baby
that she'd get by and maybe someday she'd see
but soon she found her mother's love for all the others
the pushers and the shovers was the life to lead
but when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window
oooh, oh yeah
oooh, oh yeah, yeah yeah

now she's doin any for money and a penny
a sailor with a penny or two or three
hers is the cunning for men who come a-runnin'
they all come for fun and it seems to me
that when she cried at night, no one came
and when she cried at night, went insane

oooh, it's a sunny day outside my window

Adam's Apple

back when Cain was able
way before the stable
lighting struck right down from the sky
a mother ship with fate said let's give it a try
conscience was related
man he was created
lady luck took him by surprise
a sweet and bitter fruit
it surely opened his eyes
well she ate it
lordy it was love at first bite
well she ate it
never knowin' wrong from right

even Eve in Eden
voices tried deceiving
with lies that showed the lady the way
at first she stopped turned and tried to walk away
man he was believer
lady was deceiver
so the story goes but you see
that snake was he
she just climbed right up his tree


evil came like rainin'
who knows who's to blamin'
something tried to lay her to waste
and all she want and need was just a little taste..

Walk This Way

backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
till I talked to your daddy, he say
he said "you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways"
I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
oh, the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this!

seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin' up in the air
singin' "hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care
so I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I knowed love was here to stay
when she told me to

walk this way
just gimme a kiss
like this!

schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss
like this!

(repeat second verse, substitute this at the end)
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way
just gimme a kiss

Take me back to a south Tallahassee
Down cross the bridge to my sweet sassafrassy
Can't stand up on my feet in the city
Got to get back to the real nitty gritty

Yes sir, No sir
Don't come close to my

Can't catch no dose

sweathog ready to make a silk purse
from a J Paul Getty and his ear
with a face in a beer
Home Sweet Home

Get out in the field,
Put the mule in the stable
Ma, she's A cookin'
Put the eats on the table
Hate's in the City and My love's in the meadow
Hand's on the plow and my feets in the ghetto

Stand up, sit down
Don't do nothin'
Ain't no good when boss man's stuffin'
Down their throats with paper notes
as babies cry
When you're rockin' the street
Home Sweet Home

Mamma take me home sweet home
I was the last Child, just a punk in the street.

Combination

the street is cold, the dawn is grey
my heart says no but my head says stay
my work is finished, or so I've been told
can't part the three of us, once we got a hold

I forgot the name
I took a shot on the chin
I'm rearranging my game
tell by the shape I'm in

in line of fire, you know what to say
they gave us no choices, just one shade of grey
my legs keep movin', I don't seem to stray
but I know each step we take, they're one step away

I found the secret, the key to the vault
we walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all

Nobody's Fault

Lord I must be dreamin'
what else could this be
everybody's screamin'
runnin' for the sea

holy lands are sinkin'
birds take to the sky
the prophets are all stinkin' drunk
I know the reason why

eyes are full of desire
mind is so ill at ease
everything is on fire
shit piled up to the knees

out of rhyme or reason
everyone's to blame
children of the season
don't be lame

sorry
you're so sorry
don't be sorry

man has known and now he's blown it
upside-down and hell's the only sound
we did an awful job and now they say it's nobody's fault

old St. Andres
seven years ago
shove it up their richters
redlines stop and go

noblemen of courage
listen with their ears
spoke but how discouraging
when no one really hears

one of these days you'll be sorry
too many houses on the stilt
three million years or just a story
four on the floor up to the hilt

man has known and now he's blown it
upside-down and hell's the only sound
we did an awful job and now we're just a little too late

eyes are full of desire
mind is so ill at ease
everything is on fire
shit piled up in debris

california showtime
five o'clock's the news
everybody's concubine
was prone to take a snooze

man has known and now he's blown it
upside-down and hell's the only sound
we did an awful job and now we're just a little too late

Lick And A Promise

Johnny come lately on a Saturday night
singin' how-de-do
backstreet boogie in the house of delight
where they steal the show
the money come sour but the ladies are sweet
and it's a love affair
whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet
when the gang's all there
he gets his lovin' every night for free
he's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
I sing na na na na na
na na na na na
Johnny liked to gamble with his lady Louise
she was a blackjack deuces are wild
he got to thinkin' 'bout his nose in the breeze
But then Johnny looked and he smiled
he started thinkin' bout the fortune and fame
and the young girls down at his knees
he dug the money but forgot all the names
so he knew just how to appease
lick and a promise
lick and a promise
lick and a promise
he gave the ladies a lick and a promise
loose change clover in his early early years
had his poor mama pacin' the floors
he grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers

Critical Mass

arriving in boats, black hooded coats
tormentors climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed, covered my head
but they're flushin' me out with a broom
the leader, she's small, pinned my ass to the wall
for my seeds or she'd be losin' her past
time after time, she'd be readin' my mind
but she never got the feelin' to last
celebrate, celebrate, celebrate it
this is the critical mass
so far so good, I heard the other say
so good so far, they're takin' me away
I drink to you, your mind, her ass
we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
this is the critical mass
now the tallest of two, with a brush full of blue
paints surrealist scenes on the wall
so I tell her for fun, that it's really well done
but she just ain't listenin' at all
she points to my heart, tellin' me if I'm smart
I'll practice and phase
out and admit, when the shoe doesn't fit
and I went screaming out down the hall
need it
need your love
just then I heard a poundin' on the door
we're all here, sang the voice of twenty more
I drink to you alas, we'll take a drink and break the glass
celebrate, celebrate, celebreak it
we are the critical mass
time and space, is takin' me away
time erase, don't know the time of day

Bright Light Fright

It's the dawn of the day and I'm crashed and I'm smashed
As it is I'm feelin' like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is I'm all out of zoom

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the Good Morning News

The tricks of the night
Keepin' me in a daze
Open a bottle and I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror
Back into bed
Forget that it's day, time to party again

Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife

Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife
Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, Bright Light Fright, gimme the knife

Kings And Queens

long ago in days untold
were ruled by lords of greed
maidens fared with gold they dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
kings and queens and guillotines
taking lives denied
starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive
oh I know I
lived this life afore
somehow I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood of father's land
only to deceive
living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die
screams of no reply
they died
screams of no reply
and died
died
lordy, lordy, they died

Sight For Sore Eyes

underground is pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the light
that's when I knew she was a
sight for sore eyes
she was a sight for sore eyes
playin' no fair, sleepin' under stairs
downtown's a pity, takin' fair square
under where it's pretty gritty
I turned the screw she held the knife
oh holy Jesus, she's a sight for sore eyes
sight for sore eyes (she's a nitty gritty)
turnin' in style, walk a mile for your titty
naked foul while under there
under where it's pretty gritty
hey, don't you know people
she's a love lust hussy
she left, oh, she rust me
dear old girl
she was a sight for sore eyes
but she was sittin' pretty
a sight for sore eyes
she was a nitty gritty
sight for sore eyes
peeled back and parted
even at the start it was delight or demise
I feel like a leopard king
sight for sore eyes

Live Bootleg

Come Together

The street is cold, the dawn is grey
My heart says no but my head says stay
My work is finished, or so I've been told
Can't part the three of us, once we got a hold
I forgot the name
I took a shot on the chin
I'm rearranging my game
Tell by the shape I'm in
In the line of fire, you know what to say
They gave us no choises, just one shade of grey
My legs keep moving, I don't seem to stray
But I know each step we take, they're one step away
I found the secret, the key to the vault
We walked in darkness, kept hittin' the walls
I took the time, to feel for the door
I found the secret, the key to it all
I got the Nouveauree
And dragged it home to bed
I traded you for me
I took it all and said
I find my own fun, sometimes for free
I got to pay it to come looking for me
Walking on Gucci, wearin' Yves Saint Laurent
Barley stay on, 'cause I'm so damn gaunt

Sittin' so cool and nochalant
Draggin' on a cigarette

If push comes to shove
Gonna chip that wall away

Chip away
Chip Away at The Stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama
I wanna get next to you
You stand like a marble statue
Trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress
While the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble
If you strike it night and day
If hammer I must
I'm gonna get trough your crust
Gonna Chip That Stone Away
Chip it, I'm gonna nip it
All night long

I could see in his eyes
that we is goin' on trial

seems like the other day
my baby went away
she went away 'cross the sea

and then this letter came for me

it said that we was through
she found somebody new
oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?
oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no...

(remember) walking hand in hand
(remember) the night was so exciting
(remember) her smile was so inviting
(remember) then she touched my cheek
(remember) with her fingertips

the girl that said she'd be true

And now you just walk away
So take it and go all the way

Ah, you foolin' with the bitch's brew
That ain't the thing you outta fool . . .with
Now you keep your fingers out of there, honey
You no that ain't no . . fair
The way that you read me
Because of the way you did
The way the witches sight
Oh the things that you fight (God)

You been messin with the bitch's brew
Don't you know who you're talkin to?
Said you're talkin to the bitch's brew
Tell me you never really cared
The voodoo men, eyes of fire
Or hoodoo men most desire
The bitches are out in school
Tell from the light of the moon

I been thinkin' ran my hands through the sands of time
Yeah, and I been drinkin', just to make this here song rhyme.

Ooooh what the hell you want me to
I'll take it with the
Foolin' with the bitch's brew
Don't you
Don't you fool with the bitch's brew
I been foolin' with the bitch's brew
Don't be foolin with me now
Foolin with the bitch's brew

Bolivian Ragamuffin

Pack up your troubles in your old gym bag
You gotta dance to the tune of Bolivian Ragamuffin
I'll take short breaks, love her to the outbreaks

Standing on the seashore, lookin' at the city
See the street light, dog bite, go lady on the TD8
The wax museum and nobody gets to see themselves
There's others care to see what nobody wants to be a baby

Can't break, cabbage head
Try and get a salad made
Hold my pickle, hold the lettuce
Session waters don't upset us

Kick, stand, face look so evil, like Knieval
Never make third base like a toilet bowl cleaner
Like a squawk eight fool in I don't know orogotus
If I have to do rock a roller up a jello

Facial, connish lie
Smoke a bowl of feeling fine
Burn and people, try to let us
Session waters won't upset us

Hee lee cans (Kick in the pants)
Water fall (got on a dance)
Blame it all (Say gotta eve us a trance)
Ain't gonna do it
Ain't gonna do it
Ain't gonna do it
Ain't gonna do it
Ain't gonna do it...

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue

Cry me a river, I cried a river over you.

Told me love was true for me an...
Told me you was... you an... me an... Now you say you loved me
Well, juss ta prove ya do

Go on an
Cry me a river

Prelude To Joanie

At first we three thought
'Twas the biblical cord of life
Then noticing 'twas connected
To his head
How strange
Not to be believed
I reached out to feel
And the pony's eyes they opened
The cord got hard
The head looked around
And you know who pushed and gushed
The waters of life
First two hooved feet
Then the shine of his fur
But at first to my eyes only
Feather - feather - wings
The butterflies flew up in such colors
Exploding all around us
The rest I did not see
Till there he stood
All eyes in wonder
Whe me - who you
Look

Joanie's Butterfly

What a stormy night, when I met the pony,
It was so dark, that I could hardly see,
It smelled so sweet, you know who and Joanie,
So many butterflies, one could not see...
We all could feel desire, took off in flight,
It was hotter than fire, then came the light.

I smell the heat, the dancing ponies,
Unwrapped his wings, to dry off Joanie,
The pony he grew in size, the thunder and rain,
And finally realized, what was, what it does, and what it come to say.

Love to kiss the cheek of mother nature, nobody here can deny such things,
Make the ladies you love come honey, no butterfly should be denied its wings...

He was kick ass rocking horse! He was like a hell bent tied to the Gavin pole,
He was a one time fantasy, I got the bare bones riding to the Holy Land,
Bare backed, riding like a running man, nightmares,
And he can't hold the candle to my dreams!

We rode the night, and took to wing, it was so all right, it was everything,
We flew into burning skies, the thunder and rain, and finally realized,
What it is, what it does, and what it come to say!

No, no, no, no, took off in flight,
No, no, no, no, then came the light.

Flashback, somethings coming over me, no sweat one time fanatsy.
bare bones all in the wind it seems, hell, who's the chick,
That rides into my dreams?

No Libury,
No stablize,
No one try to please,
Nobody's eyes.

We'll never see us again, tell me when it passed,
Let it all begin, but all of that time, somebody shot an arrow...
Being tempted by the time is never,
Breaking me cause your cold sometimes...
Being seduced by your own pleasures,
Being king on your own time...

He was a kick ass rocking horse, he was a...
One horn, unicornucopia,
Two, two in utopia,
Three star, verge in to infinity,
Four, four, ya... yaa hoo....

Heart's Done Time

Met a woman, she had a man
Couldn't help it, I had a plan
Right around midnight he was gone
Saw her red light, she left it on

And oh my heart's done time

If there's a reason for these chains
It's like we suffer to ease the pain
Now I got this feelin' inside of me
My heart's in jail and I can't break free

And oh my heart's done time
And oh now she's mine

My ace in the hole so to speak

Up

Angel

I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin that I do is for you
I want your love let's break the wall between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light

You're my angel come and save me tonight
You're my angel come and make it alright
You're my angel come and save me tonight

Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside
Yes, it's true loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love, I'm nothin but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do, I'm sleepin' in this bed alone

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give when I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby

Up

Permanent Vacation

I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it's hot down in Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away

I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why

I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I go to get away

I go
