Dream, dream away Magic in the air, was magic in the air? I believe, yes I believe More I cannot say, what more can I say?
On a river of sound Thru the mirror go round, round I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel) Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold The spirit dance was unfolding
Ain't no people on the old dirt road No more weather on the old dirt road It's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come, yeah Oh oh oh old dirt road
Ain't no difference on the old dirt road Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah yeah yeah

Nobody loves you when you're down and out, Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine. Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime, I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.
Well, i've been across to the other side, I've shown you ev'rything, i got nothing to hide. But still you ask me, do i love you? What it is? What it is? All i can show you is it's all show biz, All i can tell you is it's all show biz.
Nobody loves you when you're down and out, Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine. Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime, I'll scratch your back and you knife mine.
Been across the water now so many times, I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind. But still you ask me, do i love you? What you say? What you say? Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away, Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away. What you say? What you say? What you say?
Well, i get up in the morning And i'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!
Then i'm lying in the darkness And i know i can't get to sleep, oo-wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey, Nobody needs you when you're upside down. Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday, Ev'rybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
(This is a story about your friend and mine Who is it, who is it, who is it?)
There you stand with your L.A. tan And your New York walk and your New York talk You're mother left you when you were small But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all
Steel and glass Steel and glass Steel and glass Steel and glass
Your phone don't ring no one answers your call How does it feel to be off the wall
Well your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied Well your teeth are clean but your mind is capped You leave your smell like an alley cat
Steel and glass Steel and glass Steel and glass Steel and glass
Sweet as the smell of success Her body's warm and wet She gets me through this god awful lonliness A natural high butterfly Oh I, I need, need, need her
Just like a willow tree A breath of spring you see And oh boy you don't know what she do to me She makes me sweat and forget who I am I need, need, need, need her
Well I was wondering how long this could go on, on and on Well I thought I could never be surprised But could it be that I bit my own tongue Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong
A bird of paradise The sunrise in her eyes God only knows such a sweet surprise I was blind she blew my mind think that I I love, love, love, love, love her I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared I'm scared, so scared I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared As the years roll away And the price that I paid And the straws slips away
You don't have to suffer It is what it is No bell book or candle Can get you out of this, oh no!
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred I'm scarred, uh huh I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred Every day of my life I just manage to survive I just wanna stay alive
You don't have to worry In heaven or hell Just dance to the music You do it so well, well, well!
Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me I guess I knew it right from the start Sing out about love and peace Don't wanna see the red raw meat The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart
I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired Of being so alone No place to call my own Like a rollin' stone
I bought a brand new airmobile, 'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Push in on the button, you will hear her sing
Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze
Hey! Hey! Well, you walk! You walk!
New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours, I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin showers Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me, Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll, Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol I let out my wings, then I blew my horn, Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborn
Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze
Hey! Well, you walk! Yeah, walk!
I bought a brand new airmobile, 'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Push in on the button, you will hear her sing
Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze
Hey! Hey! Well, you walk! You walk!
Flying with my baby last Saturday night, Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight Big, full moon, shinin' up above, Cuddle up, honey, be my love
Sweetest little thing that I ever seen, I'm gonna name you Maybellene Flying on the beam, set on flight control, Radio tuned to rock and roll Two, three hours passed us by, Altitude dropped into five-o-five Fuel consumption, way too fast, Let's get on home before we run out of gas
Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze
Git it on! Yeah, walk! Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it! Git it on, git it on! You know you can't catch me!
"AH, REMEMBER THIS? WHY, I MUST HAVE BEEN THIRTEEN WHEN THIS CAME OUT! OR WAS IT FOURTEEN? OR WAS IT TWENTY-TWO? I COULD HAVE BEEN TWELVE ACTUALLY."
JUST BECAUSE YOU LEFT AND SAID GOODBYE, DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL SIT AND CRY? EVEN IF MY HEART SHOULD TELL ME SO, DARLING, I WOULD RATHER LET YOU GO.
JUST BECAUSE I WANT SOMEONE WHO'S KIND, WITH A HEART AS GOOD AND PURE AS MINE. BUT MAYBE I AM ASKING FOR TOO MUCH, DARLING, PLEASE DON'T EVER BREAK MY HEART.
I KNOW YOU THINK YOU'RE SMART, JUST RUNNIN' AROUND BREAKING LOVERS HEARTS.
JUST BECAUSE YOU LEFT AND SAID GOODBYE, HEY! DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL SIT AND CRY? EVEN IF MY HEART SHOULD TELL ME SO, DARLING, I WOULD RATHER LET YOU GO.
UH-UH-UH -
"THIS IS DOCTOR WINSTON O'BOGGIE SAYING GOODNIGHT FROM RECORD PLANT EAST, NEW YORK. WE HOPE YOU HAD A SWELL TIME! EV'RYBODY HERE SAYS "HI". GOODBYE."
JUST BECAUSE YOU LEFT AND SAID GOODBYE, DO YOU THINK THAT I WILL SIT AND CRY? EVEN IF MY HEART SHOULD TELL ME SO, DARLING, I WOULD RATHER LET YOU GO.
UH-UH-UH, GOODBYE! UH-UH-UH, SO LONG! BEEN A LONG YEAR!
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes, she is, think about it Woman is the nigger of the world Think about it, do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man While putting her down we pretend that she's above us
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes, she is If you don't believe me Take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave of the slaves Ah yeah, better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen We tell her home is the only place she should be Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes, she is If you don't believe me Take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yeah, alright
We insult her every day on TV And wonder why she has no guts or confidence When she's young we kill her will to be free While telling her not to be so smart we put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world Yes, she is If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with Woman is the slave to the slaves Yes, she is If you believe me, you better scream about it
