"Midnight Lightning"

"Midnight Lightning"


I get stoned
I can't go home
I'm calling long distance on a public saxophone
My head is achin'
Lord my mind is breakin'
Feel I got run over by Captain Coconut and his dog named Rover
Gotta keep on movin'
Gotta keep on movin'
To understand both sides of the sky
you gotta keep on groovin' yeah,
Good groovin'
'Cause you got your God and so do I
We gotta keep on lovin'
Good, good, good, lovin'
Make love on my dyin' bed
We gotta stop smokin', stop, stop,
I mean cigarette smokin'
Or else I cough myself to death
And to make love to you baby,
I wouldn't even have the breath
we gotta keep movin'
keep on groovin'
Understand both sides of the sky
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
You got your God and so do I.

"Mojo Man"

"Mojo Man"


Flames!
I see electric flames yall
They are burning all over
All over me.
Voodoo, Voodoo
That’s what they call it now
And ya best better
Gone and let it be
But I’ve always been a gambling man
So you know I’m gonna, gonna, gonna take a chance
This why cause,
Can’t love electric flames
Though it can fuck with me
Cause I’m, I’m a Mojo Man
And I’m from
Let me tell ya, I’m from Voodoo Land
Mojo Man
From a far away land
Gotta change anything yall, anything
With the touch of hand
You made me
whoever you may be
Just take my voodoo ingenuity
I was raised in a land way back
Near a Fiji land
With a one eyed toad, just walking, in the palm of my hand
Devils, troubles, witches prove
Every girl to me
And old black cats, were my company
So you know I wasn’t alone
Mojo Man
From a far away land
Gotta change anything y'all, anything
With the touch of hand
You made me
whoever you want to be
Just take a little voodoo ingenuity
Mojo, mojo, mojo, mojo, mojo, Mojo Man now
I’m a Mojo Man
I’m a say it
I’m a Mojo Man
I’m a Mojo Man

"Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away"

"Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently, Gently Away"


Moon, Turn The Tides... Gently Gently Away
So down and down and down and down
And down and down we go
Hurry my darling we mustn't be late
For the show
Neptune champion games to an aqua
World is so very dear
Right this way smiles a mermaid
I can hear and man is full of cheer.

That man is full of cheer
I could hear that man is full of cheer
Lord thank you

"Mr. Bad Luck"

"Mr. Bad Luck"


[Was released as "Look Over Yonder" before]

Look over yonder here come the blues
The thirteenth of any time, powered by fools
I can see 'em comin'
Wearing a blue armoured coat
You're sittin' here with your violins
Hittin' wrong notes
Look over yonder, he's comin' my way
When he's around, I never have a happy day
(you even bust my guitar strings)

Look over yonder, look over yonder, look over yonder etc.

Look over yonder
Well, he's talkin' to my baby
They found my peace pipe on her
Now they're draggin' her away
Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around
Well, he's knockin' on my door
How my house is tumblin' down

Now don't you come no closer
The path is keepin' me bolder
Wait by my door baby
Unless you want to start another war
Look over yonder, hey
Look over yonder
Look over yonder
Look over yonder

"My Friend"

"My Friend"


Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright...
Make it a double, or eh...
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
(I don't know!)

Y'all pass me that bottle,
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah!
Let me get my key, ahum!

Well, I'm looking through harlem
My stomach squeal just a little more
A stagecouch full of feathers and footprints,
Pulls up to soap?box door
Now a lady with a pearl?handled necktie
Tied to the driver's fence
Breathes in my face,
Bourbon and coke possessed words
& quot;haven't I seen you somewhere in hell,
Or was it just an accident? '
(you know how I felt then, and so..)

Before I could ask 'was it the east or west side?'
My feet they howled in pain
The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep,
But not as deep in my mind as the rain
And as they pulled away I could see her words
Stagger and fall on my muddy tent
Well I picked them up, brushed them off,
To see what they say,
And you wouldn't believe..
`come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle,
And bring along the bottle and a president'

And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend,
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you,
And you do just the same as him
(gets very lonely up this road, baby)
(yeah, hmmm, yeah)
(got more to say!)

Well I'm riding through la (huh),
On a bicycle built for fools
And I seen one of my old buddies
And he say, 'you don't look the way you usually do'
I say, 'well, some people look like a coin-box'
He say, 'look like you ain't got no coins to spare'
And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this..
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone,
And combed this breath right out of my hair
And sometimes it's not so easy
Especially when your only friend
Talk, sees, looks and feels like you,
And you do just the same as him

Just got out of a scandinavian jail,
And I'm on my way straight home to you
But I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror,
To make sure my friend's here with me too
And you know good well I don't drink coffee,
So you fill my cup full of sand
And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
Sharing lipstick around the broken edge
And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
And your cat he attacked me from his pill?box ledge
And I thought you were my friend too
Man, my shadow comes in line before you
I'm finding out that it's eh not so easy
Specially when your only friend
Talks, looks, sees and feels like you,
And you do the same just like him

(lord it's so lonely here, hmmm, yeah)
Yeah!
(pass me that bottle over there...)
Yeah, yeah, okay...

"Night Bird Flying"

"Night Bird Flying"


She's just a nigh bird flyin' throught the night
Fly on
She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she's flyin' down to me
But, 'til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free

So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw your blues and shoes and things
And lay it down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings,
Better hear what I say, yeah
Oh, carry me home
Please take me through your dreams
Inside your world I want to be

Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
Hold on 'til the sun gets out of bed
Hold on, hold on, baby
Fly on

"Once I Had A Woman"

"Once I Had A Woman"


Lord, I had a woman
Lord knows she was good to me in every way
Yes, I had a woman
A real woman
Lord, she gave me loven both night and day
My sun shine
Whoo hoo
For my woman
Or else or else
Its going to take me one more day
If it takes me
She went way down in dallas
Way down in texas land
Lord she had me wrapped around her wrist and around her finger baby
Like a ring wrapped around a finger of a severed hand
I'm lookin' for my dallas honey bee
Who can you be
Who can you be
Oooh hoo hoo help me
Help me look for her
Oh yeah

"One Rainy Wish"

"One Rainy Wish"


Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
A misty blue and the lillac too
A never to grow old.

A there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
A waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not like a before
This timeless day
A but you walked and ya ha
Once smiled my name
And you stole
My heart away
A stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right !

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lillac too
A never to grow old.

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lillac too
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lillac too
Gold and rose, gold and rose, gold and rose.

It's only a dream
I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows
Above me and you.
Gold and rose the color of the velvet walls surround us.

Shoot down some of those airplanes your flyin'
Especially the ones that are flyin' too low

Especially the ones that your flyin' too low

Come on back to earth my friend
Come on back up with me
We've all been up through the night time baby

Flyin' too much today
It's so groovy to float around sometimes
Even a jelly fish will tell you that
I said floataion is groovy
And he said
And a jelly fish will agree to that

Yeah, but that old jelly fish
Been floatin' around so long
Lord he ain't got a bone in his jelly back
Floatin' every day and every night
Ridnin' high is a risk
Sometimes the wind ain't right

With the power of soul
Anything is possible

Anything is possible
With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of soul
Anything is possible
With the power of you
Anything you wanna do

Playing too much with one toy tends to lead

the wind ain't right!
