Introduction:
A
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Wal
And my very swe
she's the Angel of Compassion
and she's
And every dr
lifts a happy face to thank her
all the women
the men they dance on the polka dots
and it's pa
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
it's CLO
Yeah, the wome
the men they dance on the polka dots
and
and
We
and the cider's laced with acid
and the Ho
And the moon i
and the summer night is fragrant
with a mighty
So we str
down the snakes and up the ladder
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
I can't say much has happened since
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
(can't say much has happned since, can't say much has happened since)
but that doesn't make a fool of me
there's a voice that sounds like God to me
I love you now there's nothing left
but I just don't care what happens next
it's something in between, I guess
by the winds of change and the weeds of sex
but there's nothing really happening
gets me fumbing gets me laughing
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
we're busted in the blinding lights
and it's once for the Devil and it's once for Christ
(busted in the blinding lights)
busted in the blinding lights
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
