  • Be Bayou

     I want to be Bayou/ Floating away with you

     Where you’re going to,/ I’m going too

     Cuz I want to be bayou/ Be Bayou Be bayou oh oh

     I want to be bayou be bayou

     

     Keep your mountains /so hard to climb

     And your deserts/so hot and dry

     Give me the warm, wet and wild of your easy ways

     I want to be Bayou/ Floating away with you

     

    Where you’re going to,/ I’m going too

     Cuz I want to be bayou/ Be Bayou Be bayou oh oh

     I want to be bayou be bayou

     We’re off the map, on a brand new route

     

    No one does it the way you do

     You make the same into something new A world all your own

     If we’re lucky we’ll see the sun go down

     A day well spent is like a leaf on the ground

     I’m gonna find you when it comes around,

     Again and again and again

     

  •  The Bones

Those bones, they are dancing on their own

You see those bones, they are parading down the road

Look at those bones, they are dancing on their own

You see those bones, they are parading down the road

Let me paint you a picture of some spooky things ,That voodoo man, they call him the king

He crafts his magic over everything Turns an average evening into a wild scene

Because those bones, they are dancing on their own

You see those bones, they are parading down the road

Look at those bones, they are dancing on their own

You see those bones, they are parading down the road

All of us lifeless until darkness falls Til the spirit moves us, one and all

We’re walking dead in the daylight hours, Then the drums starts beating and the trumpets sound

Because those bones, they are dancing on their own

You see those bones, they are parading down the road

You see those bones, they are dancing on their own

Look at those bones, they are parading down the road

People fill the street, what a sight to see

The prettiest of the dead, are leading the parade

  • Dancing in the Darkness

     

    Alice hands me a slice of cake

    Insisting that I eat

    She pours me a cocktail

    And says “let’s spill some tea.”

    From the corner of the room

    We watch the party play

    Sitting in the cheap seats

    Cause all the worlds a stage

     

    Words of wisdom whispered and the touching of a hand

    By a man with glowing eyes, dressed As Peter Pan

    He said things are getting strange here

    Get out while you can

    That’s when I asked the lion, am I your lamb

     

    Life is a costume party

    glitter on your tongue

    An evening spent as someone else is our idea of fun

    Lipstick left upon your check

    I’ll sing your favorite song

    Dancing in the darkness

    But leave before the lights come on

     

    Is this purgatory, is this Halloween

    I see ladies in waiting

    But where the hell is the queen

    We’re all watching from a balcony

     The parade is rolling by

    Ask the Prohibitionist

    How the hell he’d stay so dry

     

    I’m looking for Cecelia

    She promised me a hit

    I said “my well is empty.”

    But she don’t give a shit

    I’m knocking on that cellar door

    Hoping Joan will let me in

    She bends the ear of god

    And I have a complaint

     

    The hermit lies there napping

    I’m flirting with the fool

    The star has chosen to abstain

    From drinking with the moon

    The sun has said” it’s time to go.

    Leave your pentacles and cups.

    The cards won’t do you any good

    If you don’t shuffle the deck.”

     

    Damn everything but the circus

    Damn everything but the circus

    Damn everything but the circus

    Save the carnival

  •  Hell, or High Water

     I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

    I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

     

    When I was a child, I heard that thunder all around

    I ran to her side as that lightening crashed

    I remember the day my mother looked at me

    She said baby, that storm that’s out at sea… I bet it’s something to see

     

    So young at heart I was land locked, I loved my man

    But something had started to erode

    He saw his horizons were only caging me

    He said baby, that storm that’s out at sea…I bet it’s something to see

     

    Girl in the world in a man’s land, I crave the ocean

    Where my mother nature, she is unbound

    Swim like a mermaid, sing like a siren, wild and free,

     because baby that storm that’s out at sea…that storm is calling me

     

    Hell, or High water, this is where I’ll be

    Because baby that storm that out at sea…well that storm is me

     

    I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

    I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

     

    I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

    I will be here, Hell or High Water

    Nothing to fear, Hell or High Water

     

     

  • Lady Luck

     

    Lady luck won’t you look my way

    Put some love on this hand I play

    Seems I’ve been losing all my days

    So, lady luck won’t you look my way

     

    Flip that card and my heart stops

    Raise that bet right to the top

    Jack makes a flush my blood will rush

    I’m in the arms of lady luck

     

    Lady luck won’t you look my way

    Put some love on this hand I play

    Seems I’ve been losing all my days

    So, lady luck won’t you look my way

     

    King of Hearts, he had me down

    Waiting for him to come around

    I kissed the top of a thousand crowns

    It would not turn this hand around so…

     

    Lady luck won’t you look my way

    Put some love on this hand I play

    Seems I’ve been losing all my days

    So, lady luck won’t you look my way

     

     Look upon me with your favor let your love be mine

    With your fickle affection love me just this time

     

  •  Ship is Sinking

 If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing

And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing

We are under attack, all hands on deck

This vessels going down, What will the papers say

Those minstrels chose to play, as the water rose around

 

If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing

La la la la law la la la la lawww law

And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing

La la la la law la la la la lawww law

 

 Just open up your eyes, don’t you want to see things

From the other side, feel your heart beat again

We’ll make a dead man rise, he’ll dance by the fireside

Cause were all dying here, there’s nothing left to fear

 

If this ship is sinking, why don’t we go out singing

La la la la law la la la la lawww law

And if this world is ending why don’t we go out dancing

La la la la law la la la la lawww law

 We wont go quietly into these angry seas

They’re gonna hear us coming

They’re gonna hear us coming

  • USOS (United States of Suckers)

 

That old river started calling my name

Way across those country planes

Hills that circle fell away to distant lands

As her currents pulled me in like a grain of sand

 

Sinking low beneath the Mason Dixon line

I found a home from another place and time

Seducing me so there’s nothing that I miss

As she picks my pocket while she’s stealing a kiss…

 

Way beneath this angry sea

It’s the wild west in this big easy

The bass players drunk

But he’s still playing in key

In these united states of suckers…

 these rules don’t apply to me

 

the only time we march in line is in that old parade

we might wear a mask, but we don’t play the charade

that native son, he’ll never say that you belong

he can’t deny that beat in your heart is a New Orleans song

 

I’ll just sit here finishing my wine

and let the rest of the world run on a dime

first or last, we all cross that finish line

me and my friends, we prefer to take our time

 

Way beneath this angry sea

It’s the wild west in this big easy

The bass players drunk

But he’s still playing in key

In these united states of suckers…

 these rules don’t apply to me

 

You might loose your mind

She may save your soul

While everyone you keeps saying

Let the good times roll

 

Way beneath this angry sea

It’s the wild west in this big easy

The bass players drunk

But he’s still playing in key

In these united states of suckers…

 these rules don’t apply to me
