You make me laugh Cause your eyes they light the night They look right through me You bashful boy You're hiding something sweet Please give it to me yeah, to me

Talk to me some more You don't have to go You're the Poetry Man You make things all right

I wish I was a willow And I could sway to the music in the wind And I wish I was a lover I wouldn't need my costumes and pretend I wish I was a mountain I'd pass boldly thru the clouds and never end I wish I was a soft refrain When the lights were out I'd play and be your friend I strut and fret my hour upon the stage The hour is up I have to run and hide my rage I'm lost again I think I'm really scared I won't be back at all this time And have my deepest secrets shared
I'd like to be a willow A lover, a mountain or a soft refrain But I'd hate to be a grown-up And have to try to bear my life in pain

Oh mommy mommy Oh mommy mommy, yeah I stood too near the gaslight And I cried The dirty city mist Had seeped too deep inside It took me on some kind Of heady ride They told me Charlie Parker died And I don't want the night to end And I don't want the night to end
Oh daddy daddy Oh daddy daddy Waiting half my life On platforms underground The other half I wasted As a desperate clown My problem now is That you're not around In dark delicious dreams of you I'll drown And I don't want the night to end
Oh baby baby Oh baby baby Wrapped around your soul Is where I wanna be But in the night blue music's All I seem to see The drunks out in the rain Down on one knee And what is to become Of you and me And I don't want the night to end
We see these manifold expressions All at once on his face And that's when we make our confession He has conquered inner space Take your children home I am one, I am one Take your children and tell them All the peoples of the world Should be as one So take your children home I am one
He kept on tickling us until We laughed screamingly for mercy And we marveled at his skill He said I'm glad you didn't curse me He might be my demise Cause he's such a good magician I'd like to get behind his eyes And sing and cry from that position
And I watched the world surround me From inside a phone booth And it began to astound me I tried to keep my couth I said it must be Sunday 'Cause ev'rybody's tellin' the truth And then again it might be Monday Yeah it might be Monday 'Cause ev'rybody's drinkin' vermouth She lent her hand At the kissing stand But she gave 'em away for free With an acid joke and a box of smoke She can barely see She drives her bus at dusk With headlights off And headphones up And for tomorrow She has planned a shopping spree There's a man who loved so hard He was like a billboard grin He toasted life and beauty 'Til his head began to spin He pressed his cheek On rainwashed streets And he wept into his gin Reincarnation And he came back as himself again December thirty-first Is the very worst time of the year You got to think of people That you like enough To share your beer Just when you're having fun It's January one And you wait for explanations To appear
There'll be no show tonight No the music won't sound right The audience is being impolite And I can't act tonight Don't make me And I can't act tonight I guess I missed my cue, yeah When he said we were through He walked off stage With some ingenue And all I can act is blue I really mean it And no stand-in will do Take back your Oscar Your horseshoe made of flowers You'll find me down At the local pool hall Tying up the phone for hours Who could have guessed how He'd rewrite the script For me, yeah I might be Sarah Heartburn But I can't cover up this jealousy And I can't cover up this jealousy Let me fly again soon And give me back my toy balloon He's got me grounded In my dressing room And he's got me grounded In my dressing room
My baby's out there with his lantern Searching for an honest man. Oh, it's crisis time Stuck in the suburbs, Dying on the vine. He knows how to give me gifts from above. He knows how to give me two-fisted love. Two-Fisted Love,Two-Fisted Love, Two-Fisted Love Oh, help us, Mary Jane We are wand'ring out on this desert plain Oh, we have no canteen, Can the thirsty stay sane after what they've seen?

He knows how to give me two-fisted love. Two-Fisted Love,Two-Fisted Love, Two-Fisted Love Oh, help us, Mary Jane We are wand'ring out on this desert plain Oh, we have no canteen, Can the thirsty stay sane after what they've seen?

You might just keep rolling sevens, time means nothing here You could turn the stone, think of all you'd own, even statues grin Everybody cash in, yeah, whoa Take the money and run, cash it all in now
The stars can always go walking with me Oh, what loyalty in the shine Nice, that they can be so free And all they spend is time
Cash it all in, cash it all in Cash it all in, cash it all in Cash it all in, cash it all in Cash it all in, cash it all in
I fell in love with a circus, that's why I left town Clowns breath down my neck, I thought they'd mark the deck Until I called out gin and the jokers cashed in
When I am secure and can give you enough I watch mother nature doin' her stuff No one owns the right to this, my love, freedom's tough It's tough for you, baby, it's tough for you, baby
So, how much can you get for your soul When you rock and roll, money can't be worthless When your music's mirthless, I love you back then At least until you cashed in
Cash it all in, cash it all in Cash it all in, cash it all in
Cash it, cash it all in Cash it, cash it all in Cash it, cash it all in
No regrets altho' our love affair has gone astray No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away Somehow our happy romance ended suddenly Still in my heart you'll be forever mine
No regrets because somebody new looks good to you No regrets sweetheart no matter what you say or do I know our love will linger when the other love forgets Still in my heart you'll be forever mine
Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card. We'll celebrate it, when we've made it, I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over...

Oceans of love-waves are washing me All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over. All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over. Nine of diamonds, Nine of diamonds Lord, that's a lucky card. We'll celebrate it, when we've made it, I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over your yard, I'll jump all over... When you feel that your train of thought's been derailed Let out your wild wishes from where they've been jailed You feel the future embracing you All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over. All over, All over, I hope this will never be all over.
