Traveling Wilburys

I don't want nothing
Nothing but you
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon

I'm so tired waiting
Waiting for you
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon

So many moons have come and gone
And none of them were blue
Too many times the sun came up, but
It came up without you, you, ya yoo hoo oo

You won't call me
Call me lonely
Am I waiting
Looking for a new blue moon

So many moons have come and gone
And none of them were blue
Too many times the sun come up, but
It came up without you, you, you, you yahoo

Someday when you want me
Someday you may see
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon
I was waiting
Looking for a new blue moon

Blue Moon

Margarita
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Margarita
Ah, ah, ah, ah

It was in Pittsburgh, late one night
I lost my head, got into a fight
I rolled and tumbled till I saw the light
Went to the Big Apple, took a bite

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Still the sun went down your way
Down from the blue into the gray
Where I stood, I saw you walk away
(Margarita) You danced away

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I asked her what we're gonna do tonight
She said, "Cahuenga Langa-Langa Shoe Box Soup"
We better keep tryin' till we get it right
Tala mala sheela jaipur dhoop

She wrote a long letter on a short piece of paper
Oh Margarita

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night, selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man

Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn
They knew that they'd find freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood, he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill

It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said, "Everyone of you's a liar
If you don't surrender now, it's gonna go down to the wire"

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory

Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn't care about the loot
Jan had told him many times, "It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught."

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

Someplace by Rahway Prison, they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said, "Boy, you didn't think that this could last"
Jan jumped out of bed said, "There's someplace I gotta go"
She took a gun out of the drawer and said, "It's best if you don't know"

The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The Monkey Man was on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man, "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I'm sitting in a gambling club called The Lion's Den
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on

I guess I'll go to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain't no more opportunity here, everything's been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don't think about nothing but the Monkey Man

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they're standing
Never saw them when they fell

Well, it's all right, riding around in the breeze
Well, it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well, it's all right, doing the best you can
Well, it's all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (At the end of the line)
Waiting for someone to tell you everything (At the end of the line)
Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (At the end of the line)
Maybe a diamond ring

Well, it's all right, even if they say you're wrong
Well, it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Well, it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay
Well, it's all right, every day is Judgment Day

Maybe somewhere down the road aways (At the end of the line)
You'll think of me and wonder where I am these days (At the end of the line)
Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays (At the end of the line)
Purple Haze

Well, it's all right, even when push comes to shove
Well, it's all right, if you got someone to love
Well, it's all right, everything'll work out fine
Well, it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive (At the end of the line)
I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive (At the end of the line)
It don't matter if you're by my side (At the end of the line)
I'm satisfied

Well, it's all right, even if you're old and gray
Well, it's all right, you still got something to say
Well, it's all right, remember to live and let live
Well, it's all right, the best you can do is forgive

Well, it's all right (all right), riding around on the breeze
Well, it's all right (all right), if you live the life you please
Well, it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well, it's all right (all right), we're going to the end of the line

She's got her pudding in the oven
And it's gonna be good
She better not leave me
And go out to Hollywood
She got the best pudding in the neighborhood
She's my baby

She can drive a truck
She can drive a train (my baby, my my baby)
She can even drive an aeroplane
She's so good to look at in the rain
She's my baby

She's comin' down the sidewalk
She's stumblin' through the door
She's coming home from places
She's never been before
She sits down on the sofa
She poors herself a drink
Says, "Ooh honey, honey ain't no time to think"

My baby
My baby
My baby

She's got a body for business
Got a head for sin
She knocks me over like a bowling pin
She came home last night and said,
"Honey, honey, honey it's hard to get ahead"

My baby
My baby

She can build a boat
She can make it float (my baby, m-my my baby)
She can play my guitar
Note for note
She likes to stick her tongue right down my throat
She's my baby

My baby
My baby
My baby

Look out your window
That grass ain't green
It's kinda yellow
See what I mean?

Look up your chimney
The sky ain't blue
It's kinda yellow
You know it's true

It's so hard to figure what it's all about

When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out

Look down your drain pipe
What color do you see?
It's got to be yellow
Don't try to fool me

And don't it make you wanna twist and shout

When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out

Be careful where you're walking
You might step in something rough
Be careful where you're talking
And saying all that stuff

Take care when you are breathing
Something's funny in the air
And somethings I'm not saying
'Bout what's happening out there
It's inside out

Look into the future
With your mystic crystal ball
See if it ain't yellow
See if it's there at all

Ain't no shadow of doubt
Don't it make you wanna twist and shout

When your outside's in (inside out)
And your downside's up (upside down)
Yeah, your upside's right (rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out

(Inside out)
(Rightside up)
Yeah, don't it make you wanna twist and shout
When you're inside out
Inside out

Waltzing round the room tonight
In someone else's clothes
You're always coming out of things
Smelling like a rose

You hang your head and your heart is filled
With so much misery
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

You say, "Let's go to the rodeo
And see some cowboy fall"
Sometimes it seems to me you've
Got no sympathy at all

You keep on going on and on
About how you're so free
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belonged to me

It ain't easy to get to you
But there must be some kind of a way
If only two could look to you
For only one moment of each day

You're saying that you're all washed up
Got nothing else to give
Seems like you would've figured out
How long you have to live

You could feel like a baby again
Sitting on your daddy's knee
Oh, how happy you could be
If you belonged to me

The guy you're with is a ruthless pimp
Everybody knows
Every cent he takes from you
Goes straight up his nose

You look so sad, you're going so mad
Any fool can see
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belong to me
You'd be happy as you could be
If you belong to me

While you're strolling down the fairway
Showing no remorse
Glowing from the poisons
They've sprayed on your golf course

While you're busy sinking birdies
And keeping your scorecard
The devil's been busy in your back yard

Steaming down the highway
With your trucks of toxic waste
Where you gonna hide it
In the outer space?

You don't know what you're doing
Or what you have to guard
The devil's been busy in your back yard

Sometimes you think you're crazy
But you know you're only mad
Sometimes your better off not knowing
How much you've been had

You see your second cousin
Wasted in a fight
You say he had it coming
You couldn't do it right

You're in a western movie
Playing the part
The devil's been busy in your back yard

Sometimes they say you're wicked
But you know that can't be bad
Sometimes you're better off not knowing
It'll only make you sad

They're coming down picadilly
Dripping at the dash
Wasting sticky willy
Covering him with their cash

They just might not have noticed
They've been beating him so hard
The devil's been busy in your back yard

The devil's been busy in your back yard
The devil's been busy in your back yard

7, 7, 7 deadly sins

(Sin number one) was when you left me

You walk in, half past nine
Lookin' like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene

Woman, I've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And you'll take all the rest

Up all day, down all night
Working on the job
Everything I do is wrong
I always end up robbed

Woman I try so hard
Done all I can do
They're gonna put me in the poor house
Leave all the best for you

(Ooh, in the poor house)
(Ooh, in the poor house) Oh

If a drove a pulpwood truck
Would you love me more?
Would you bring me diamonds
And hang around my door

Woman, I've done my best
They're ain't much left for me
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And throw away the key

(In the poor house)
(Ooh, in the poor house)

You walk in, half past nine
Lookin' like a queen
Serving me with papers
Calling me obscene

Woman, I've tried so hard
Just to do my best
They're gonna put me in the poor house
And you'll take all the rest

(In the poor house)
(Ooh, in the poor house)
(In the poor house)
(Ooh, in the poor house)

Where were you last night?
You were so uptight
What did you do, who did you see?
Were you with someone
Who reminded you of me?

Where were you last night?
Where were you last week?
Were you up a creek?
Did you stay up pacing the floor?
Got me worried
You ignore me more and more

Where were you last night?
You weren't around me
When they found me
Where were you last night?

You better stop your messin' around
Your name is going round from town to town
It's making me sad, making me feel bad
Where were you last night?

Where were you last year?
You sure as hell weren't here
You weren't waiting where you said
You sent someone in your place instead

Where were you last night?
It's getting to me, get me gloomy
Where were you last night?

Well, I woke up this morning
The place was such a wreck
I couldn't reach the bathroom
Thought I better clear the deck

I tried to call the lawyer
And asked him what to do
He referred me to his doctor
Who referred me back to you

And when you checked the manual
You kept inside the case
It said put it in a cool dry place

Well I drove around the city
Looking for a room
That was high above the water
Where my things could be in tune

There was no one to help me
Nobody even cared
I had to go through hell
To get those things up there

I paid my first subscription
Then I joined the idle race
And they said, "Store it in a cool dry place"

I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums
Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum
Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score
And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor

Some places they get mildew
And others get too hot
Some places are so damp that
Everything you got just rots

All kinds of condensation
Direct result of rain
And not much compensation
When everything's been stained

Some have sentimental value that
Cannot be erased
Go store it in a cool dry place

We got solids and acoustics
And some from plywood board
And some are trimmed in leather
And some are made with gourds

There's organs and trombones
And reverbs we can't use
Lots of DX-7s
And old athletic shoes

I bought a great big building
It took up one whole block
I made an inventory
Of all the things in stock

The place was getting longer
I was up all night
I used up all my pencils
But I went on despite

The blurring of my vision
The sweat upon my face
I got to put this stuff away
I mustn't leave a trace

The landlord's breathing down my neck
He says it's a disgrace
So I said "Put it in a cool, dry place."

I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light

Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me
Heading for the light

Oh, I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down, I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
As I'm heading for the light

Oh, my hands were tied, jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
As I'm heading for the light

I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

Heading for the light

Heading for the light

You took my breath away
I want it back again
Look at the mess I'm in
I don't know what to say

I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All I can do is wait
You took my breath away

You took this song of mine
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit

It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away

One day when the sun is shining
There will be a silver lining

You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been

I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away

You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away

You put your hand on your head (hand on your head)
Put your foot in the air (foot in the air)
Then you hop around the room (hop around the room)
In your underwear (in your underwear)
There ain't never been nothin' quite like this
Come on baby it's The Wilbury Twist

Lift your other foot up (other foot up)
And fall on your ass (fall on your ass)
Get back up (get back up)
Put your teeth in a glass (teeth in a glass)
Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
It's a magical thing called The Wilbury Twist

Everybody's trying to do The Wilbury Twist
China, Belgium, France and Japan
Thailand, Poland, Pakistan
Everybody's trying to do The Wilbury Twist

Roll up your rug (roll up your rug)
Dust your broom (dust your broom)
Ball the jack (ball the jack)
Howl at the moon (at the moon)

Everybody's talkin' 'bout The Wilbury Twist

Everybody's trying to do The Wilbury Twist
Puerto Rico, U.S.A
England, Cameroon, Norway

Turn your lights down low (your lights down low)
Put your blindfold on (your blindfold on)
You'll never know (you'll never know)
When your friends have gone (when your friends have gone)
Could be years before you're missed
Everybody's trying to do The Wilbury Twist

It's a different dance (it's a different dance)
For you all to do (for you all to do)
Spin your body (very versatile)
Like a screw (spin your body like a screw)
Better not forget it on your shopping list
(You can stop and buy one, it's The Wilbury Twist)

Ain't never been nothin' quite like this
(Better come and get it, it's The Wilbury Twist)
I guess by now you've got the gist
(Everybody's crazy about The Wilbury Twist)
