Wow!
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile, I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best

Chorus:
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande

I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you

(chorus)

Hey now (wow), look at that, did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive, you make me feel
Alive, alive, alive

I'll take my cahnce, 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking
I tell you seomthing, I know what you're thinking

(chorus)

Her name is Rio, she don't need to understand
I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio, Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the Rio Grande

My Own Way

I saw you at the airace yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying, no not me

I'm never bothered, what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
I ain't your problem anyway

Chorus:
'Cause I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cause I've got my own way

No. 1 public figure, what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same

Now you're on the Sandlane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me

(chorus)

I'm on 45th between Sixth and Broadway
7UP between Sixth and Broadway

Even on the darkest night when empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
When the lights of hope are fading quickly then look to me
I'll be your homing angel, I'll be in your head

Because you're lonely in your night mare, let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter, let me in

I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground
When all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind

Because you're lonely in your night mare, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
And it's silent on your stone field, let me in

Must be lucky weather when you find the kind of wind that you need
C'mon, show me all the light and shade that made your name
I know you've got it in your head, I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge, turns you captive all the same

Because you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in
And it's barren in your garden, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in
Because it's silent in your stone field, let me in
ANd you're lonely in your nightmare, let me in
Because you've waited through your ice age, let me in

Because you're so lonely in your nightmare, let me in
And it's cold out on your stone range, let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter, let me in

Darken the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd.
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you.
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf.
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf.

Hungry like the wolf (3x)

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's doscord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

We're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane

People tell me I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling, too
You just can't laugh all the time

Chorus:
And if the fires burn out, there's only fire to blame
No time for worry 'cause we're on the roam again
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Not on your own, so help me, please hold back the rain

So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn

Okay, go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

(chorus)

(A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego)

I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime.
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things
Telling me not there man it's no go

(Don't go there boy)

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her don't know how
Too many things too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind.
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me Take another chance boy carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me? Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need? I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
And it's us who make the noise

Chorus:
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion

Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil follows me Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners
In regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things
So why does he try to bother me? Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross make a church bell ring
How many reasons do they need? Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
I might just be right this time Searching for the undeniable truth
That a man is just a fool

(chorus)

I don't remember quite how I met you, wasn't long ago
Just get a picture of sun
In your eyes, the waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie
Or you could've said last night
Just took me out on a limb
And I don't really know what I'm doing here

Chorus:
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
I'm out of reach, I'll talk if it feels right
So nearvous to say, tell me, can't you see
If you want, I fall out forever
I can't say no more...bebe dance with me
And plase don't say leave it till later
I've had my last chance on the stairway

Funny, it's just like a scene out of Voltaire twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We'll turn and see the circles we traced
Ain't no game...when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night

(chorus)

Wonder why
Wonder why...what makes me rise so high
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
I don't even know what you're thinking
Don't even know what you're drinking
But it keeps this heaven alive

(chorus)

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
and you know just what it takes and where to go.

Chorus:
Don't save a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after

Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way.)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day.

(chorus)
Save it til the morning after. Save it til the morning after

Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
but fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise

Don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now. Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after (4x)
Save a prayer til the morning after

Out on the tar plains
the glides are moving
all looking for 
a new place to hide
You sit beside me
so newly charming
sweating dewdrops glisten
freshing your side

And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart

Way down the lane away
living for another day
the aphids swarm up 
in the drifting haze
swim seagull in the sky
towards some hollow
western isle
my envied lady
holds you fast
in her gaze

And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart

Sing Blue Silver

And watching lovers part
I feel you smiling
what glass splinters 
lie so deep in your mind
to tear out from your eyes
with a word to stiffen
brooding lies
and I'll only watch
you leave me
further behind

And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart

Sing Blue Silver
Sing, Sing Blue Silver
