Mud Slide Slim and the blue horizon,
Oh, Mud Slide and depending on you. I don't know but I've been told There's a time from time to time I can't eat, I can't sleep But I just like to move my feet 'Cause there's nothing like the sound of sweet soul music To change your lady's mind And there's nothing like a walk on down by the bayou To leave the world behind. Mud Slide, I'm depending on you, Mr. Mud Slide Slim on the blue horizon. I've been letting the time go by, letting the time go by, Yes, I'm letting the time go by, letting the time go by. I wanted cash in my hand Pick upon a piece of land Build myself a cabin back in the woods. Lord, it's there I'm gonna stay Until there comes a day When this old world starts changing for the good. Now the reason I'm smiling Is over on an island On a hillside in the woods where I belong. I wanna thank Jimmy Jimmy John and Mick and Robbie Of Nojets Construction to send me down homestead on a farm. Oh, Mud Slide, I'm depending on you. Mr. Mud Slim on the blue horizon. I've been letting the time go by, letting the time go by, Yes, I'm letting the time go by, letting the time go by. |

I found him by the stage last night, he was breathing his last breath.
A bottle of gin and a cigarette was all what he had left. Well, I know that you make music 'cause you carry a guitar, But God help the troubadour who tries to be a star. Come on and play the chords of love, my friend, Play the chords of fame, But if you want to keep your song, do mi, do mi do, Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no. You know I've seen my share of hustlers as they try to take the world And when they find a melody, they're surrounded by the girls. But it all fades so quickly like a sunny summer day, Reporters ask you questions and they write down what you say. Come on and play the chords of love, my friend, Play the chords of fame, But if you want to keep your song, do mi, do mi do, Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no. They'll rob you of your innocence, and put you up for sale. The more that you will find success, the more that you will fail. I've been around, I've had my share, and I really can't complain, But I wonder who I left behind on the other side of fame. Come on and play the chords of love, my friend, Play the chords of fame, But if you want to keep your song, do mi, do mi do, Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, Don't, oh don't, don't play the chords of fame. Don't, oh don't, don't play the chords of fame. Don't ... |

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off Just louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind. Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But mona lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze I can't find my knees" Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Sayin', "name me someone who's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him" But like louise always says "ya can't look at much, can ya man ? " As she, herself, prepares for him And madonna, she still hasn't showed We see the empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps on the road He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish trucks that load While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of johanna are now all that remain. |

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues,
Got shoes and money, good friends, too. I always play to win, and always seem to lose, That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues. That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues. And I know what's going on, And I know that the way is too long. And I know just exactly what's on your mind, You'll be back and I'll lose you forever. But I'm wondering why, girl, should I ask your name All the people standing by, are they in my game ? Love is just a story, a story without words, Words are even never seen and never even heard. And I know what's going on, And I know that the way is too long. And I know just exactly what's on your mind, You'll be back and I'll lose you forever. Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues Got shoes and money, good friends, too. I always play to win, always seem to lose, That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues. That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues. |

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly. Tell me what's making you sad, Li ? Open your door, don't hide in the dark. You're lost in the dark, you can trust me, 'Cause you know that's how it must be. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. Her eyes like windows trickle in rain Upon the pain getting deeper Though my love wants to relieve her. She walks alone from wall to wall, Lost in her hall she can't hear me, Though I know she likes to be near me. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. She sits in her corner by the door. There must be more I can tell her If she really wants me to help her. I'll do what I can to show her the way And maybe one day I will free her Though I know no-one can see her. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. |

This morning too didn't rise before noon
She's a lazy lady today. Always young and new with your eyes on the moon, You're a crazy lady like you said. Crazy lady. Now should I say more before I know you so well ? You're no hazy maiden in gray. How can I be sure ? It's not easy to tell, But you're a crazy lady like you said. Crazy lady. |

Oh, Lady Madeleine,
I miss you baby, I can't stand the pain. And I walk down the avenue And I think of you, Lady Madeleine. And Michele, what will she do Without you, Lady Madeleine ? And I walk down the avenue And I'm missing you, Lady Madeleine. And Spanish Tony don't know what to do, He's missing you, darling Madeleine. His strange world has all fallen through And he wonders, was his love in vain ? And I think I might go quite insane With the scenes here Lady Madeleine. So I walk down the avenue And I miss you, Lady Madeleine. And Spanish Tony, he don't know what to do, He's missing you, darling Madeleine. His strange world has all fallen through And he wonders, was his love in vain ? And I think I might go quite insane With the scenes here darling Madeleine.

I can't seem to learn not to love you,
You get to me every time. You're someone I just can't say 'no' to, And you're so good at changing my mind. Here I go down that wrong road again, Going back where I've already been. Even though I know where it will end, Here I go down that wrong road again. Though I see the web that you're weaving, You and your soft easy lies, If I stop to think I'm believing, And I'm falling for you one more time. Here I go down that wrong road again, Going back where I've already been, Even though I know where it will end Here I go down that wrong road again. Here I go down that wrong road again, Going back where I've already been. Even though I know where it will end, Here I go down that wrong road again. Here I go down that wrong road again, Going back where I've already been. Even though I know where it will end, Here I go down that wrong road again. Here I go down that wrong road again, Going back where I've already been. Even though ... |

I wish I could dance like Fontaine,
Floating along on a breeze, But when you come home And I get you alone I wish that I could put you at ease. I wish I could sing you a love song, Sing about the silvery moon, But the things that you say When I think it's OK Always seem to sing out of tune. Oh, I'm not the way That you want me to be, No, it's not like me, No, it's not like me. You say I should dress like a Lady, Read all the best magazines, But the people in there And the clothes that they wear, Take it from the girl of your dreams. You wish I could be a show-piece Something to show all your friends Is it true what they say, That I get in your way ? Is this about the place that it ends ? I'm not the way That you want me to be, No, it's not like me, No, it's not like me. I wish I could dance like Fontaine, Floating along on the breeze And when you come home And I get you alone I wish that I could put you at ease. |

You've been right and I've been wrong,
I've been weak and you've been strong. You've been good and I've been bad, Think I've had enough of that. 'cause all I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. I loved the days, you loved the night, I loved to love, you loved to fight. I drive to you, you're far away, It gets harder every day. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. Wish you could be a friend of mine, Wish you could learn to play with time. You say I dream my life away ¡º If I do, well that's ok. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. All I wanna do in life Is to love somebody with all my might. |
