"Emily"

"Emily"


Emily, take me 'cross the water home
Emily, look how much we have grown
Emily, I still remember the day
Waking up, chasing the shadows away
It won't be long 'til I see your face
Eyes as bright as the sun
It won't be far down this lonesome road
'Til I see you again

Emily, run so fast through the fields
Make believe, all our dreams were so real
It won't be long 'til I see you smile
Turning my night into day
It won't be far down this lonely way
'Til I can hold you again

Emily we can hide, hide from them all
Emily, they can't catch us
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now
They can't catch us now

"Estoy Sentado Aqui"

"Estoy Sentado Aqui"


Estoy sentado aqui, que me pasan la tequila
El amor y triste vida no me importa a mi
Ahora pienso enboracharme pa quitarme este coraje
La mujer que yo queria me dejo a mi

Estoy sentado aqui, y con sentimiento espero
Ya parese que me muero por estar sin ti
Que tristesa me acompana
Le hace falta al corazon la ternura de tu
Amor que tu vida me dio

Estoy sentado aqui, y con sentimiento espero
Ya parese que me muero por estar sin ti
Que tristesa me acompana
Le hace falta al corazon la ternura de tu
Amor que tu vida me dio
Estoy sentado aqui

"Evangeline"

"Evangeline"


Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

I can still remember this little girl
Black eyes just staring
At this big old world
Ran off to find some American dream
Train ticket in one hand
In her new blue jeans

Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

She went out dancin' on a Saturday night
Silk stockings and high heels
Blue liner on her eyes
But on Sunday morning she's all alone
Head lying on the nightstand
By the telephone

Evangeline is on the roam
Just barely seventeen
When she left home
Don't know where she is
Or where she's going
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

"Everybody Loves A Train"

"Everybody Loves A Train"


[Spoken:]
A long time down away on Eastside, Southside,
Los Angeles, Detroit, America, U.S.A.
Sittin' right about here watchin' high heels
And sneakers tread concrete platform headin' straight
For who knows where and why and how come

Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

[Spoken:]
I'm thinkin' in sick brain,
"Say man, where you goin' with all those stories
Wrapped up in suitcase and handbags and old rags?"
Says, "I can't say, but the 12:40's got my name."
Well it goes without sayin', everybody loves a train

Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
Jump on a car when she comes around
Steel whistle blowin' a crazy sound
Jump on a car when she comes around

Clack, clack, clack
Goin' down the rails and comin' back
Train a-comin' goin'
Clack, clack, clack
Clack, clack, clack

[Spoken:]
Just goes without saying that everybody loves a train
Go ahead and call us insane, but we all just love a train
Go ahead!

"Free Up"

"Free Up"


Alarm clock's broken
I gotta quit smoking
Dog done gone
But everything will be fine

Car's got a flat
There's a hole in my hat
Cash done gone
But everything will be fine
Help me out, brother

Free up
Come on, free up
Gotta free up
Free your mind

Everything will be fine

Just free up
Free your mind

Ooh, now free up

Free your mind
(Free up)
You will find
(Free up)

Free your mind
(Free up)
Everything will be fine

"Gates Of Gold"

"Gates Of Gold"


Far away beyond those hills is mystery untold
Far off almost out of sight there's beauty to behold
Which way do we go, can't say that I know

Some say it's a place where you'll never grow old
Lord know what we'll find behind those gates of gold

Almost there and yet so far is where we'll find our home
So close but still so far are stories to be told
Which way do we go, can't say that I know

Some say it's a place where you'll never grow old
Lord know what we'll find behind those gates of gold

Mama, come gently rock my soul
And tell me please, what we'll find behind those gates of gold

"Georgia Slop"

"Georgia Slop"


Way down south where I make my stop
They do a dance down there called the Georgia Slop
They all hang out at Peg Leg Lee's
And they don't give a hoot about no police
Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about
They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out

They get paid on Friday when their work's all done
And they all do it up 'til Monday comes
When they do the Slop they turn loose hands
And move like a chicken when he's scratching in the sand
Shuffle your feet and spin like a top
Shake shake shake the Georgia Slop

I stopped to get a soda and dig that jive
I met a chick, she weighed 385
I started lookin' and I couldn't stop
She and I got together and did the Georgia Slop

Peg Leg Lee's is where I'm talking about
They knocked down, kicked, and dragged 'em out
Do it baby, do it baby, do it baby, do it baby
To the right, to the left
Oh baby, yah do it baby

"Get To This"

"Get To This"


Shake your shoes off and let loose your feet
Go on out and take it to the street
It don't matter, let 'em all come see
Just grab somebody, anyone you meet

They might be big
They might be small
Maybe brown or round or short or tall

Shake your head and let your hair fall down
It don't matter if anyone's around
Go outside and give 'em all a shout
Let 'em know what it's all about

We might be big

We may be brown 'n round or six feet tall
Gonna have us a real good time
Don't be late
And get to this

"Good Morning Aztlan"

"Good Morning Aztlan"


There's a tattoo heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of a name that looks like Joe
And a young girl's looking
At her makeup in the mirror
Puts a little gold ring on her toe

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

There's a sharp dressed man
Playing something on a fiddle
In the backyard right next door
And everybody's mother
Is cooking something in the kitchen
Got dishes stacked ceiling to floor

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day

A red rooster crows
A little Mexican tune
On the chain link fence by the gate
Somebody's daddy's out there
Honkin' on the horn
Hurry up, we're gonna make him late

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
If you're long down that highway
No matter where you are
You're never really far
Good morning Aztlan

There's a big fat heart
With an arrow through the middle
Of this place that I call home
And when I get lost
And don't even got a nickel
There's a piece of dirt I call my own

I gotta say one, two, three more things before I go on

You can't run and try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
You can't run to try to hide away
Here it comes, here comes another day
Where you are, never really far away
Good morning Aztlan

"Grim Grinning Ghosts"

"Grim Grinning Ghosts"


The crypt doors creak
And the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

Don't close your eyes
And don't try to hide
There's a silly spook sitting by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

As the moon hangs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for a midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where the spirits dwell
Restless bones with eerie eyes
Rising spooks of every size
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

The crypt goes creak
And the tombstones quake
Spooks come out for a swinging wake
Happy haunts materialize
And begin to vocalize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

Don't close your eyes
And don't try to hide
There's a silly spook sitting by your side
Shrouded in a daft disguise
They pretend to terrorize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

As the moon hangs high o'er the dead oak tree
Spooks arrive for a midnight spree
Creepy creeps with eerie eyes
Start to shriek and harmonize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

When you hear the knell of a requiem bell
Weird glows gleam where the spirits dwell
Restless bones with eerie eyes
Rising spooks of every size
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
