Cracklin´ Rosie

Cracklin' Rosie, get on board
We're gonna ride till there ain't no more to go
Taking it slow
Lord, don't you know
Have me a time with a poor man's lady

Hitchin' on a twilight train
Ain't nothing there that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie, you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby

Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile
God if it lasts for an hour, that's all right
We got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don't asks no questions, yeah

 

Tears of a clown

Now if there's a smile on my face
it's only there tryin' to fool the public
but when it comes down 
to foolin' you;
Now honey, that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression
give you the wrong impression
Really I'm sad
I'm sadder than sad
You're gone and I'm hurtin' so bad
Like a clown I pretend to be glad

Now there's some sad things 
known to man
but ain't too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around

Now if I appear to be carefree
it's only to camouflage my sadness
In order to keep my pride I try
to cover the hurt 
with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you
that I've been happy since you
decided to go
Oh, I need you so
I'm hurt and I want you to know

Now there's some sad things 
known to man
but ain't too much sadder than
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around

Just like Pagliacci did
I try to keep my sadness hid
(aaargh! I can't remember! 
It'll come to me and I'll send it
along.)
But in my lonely room I cry
the tears of a clown
when there's no one around

 

Question

Why do we never get an answer, 
When we're knocking at the door. 
With a thousand million questions, 
About hate and death and war? 
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
 There is nothing that we need. 
In a world of persecution, 
That is burning in its greed. 
Aaah... Aaah... 
Why do we never get an answer, 
When we're knocking at the door?
 Because the truth is hard to swallow,
 That's what the war of love is for. 
It's not the way that you say it, 
When you do those things to me. 
It's more the way that you mean it, 
When you tell me what will be. 
And when you stop and think about it,
 You won't believe it's true. 
That all the love you've been giving, 
Has all been meant for you. 
I'm looking for someone 
to change my life, 
I'm looking for a miracle in my life. 
And if you could see, 
What it's done to me,
 To lose the love I knew, 
Could safely lead me through. 
Between the silence of the mountains,
 And the crashing of the sea. 
There lies a land I once lived in, 
And she's waiting there for me. 
But in the grey of the morning, 
My mind becomes confused.
 Between the dead and the sleeping, 
And the road that I must choose. 
I'm looking for someone 
to change my life, 
I'm looking for a miracle in my life. 
And if you could see, 
What it's done to me, 
To lose the love I knew, 
Could safely lead me to,
The land that I once knew, 
To learn as we grow old, 
The secrets of our soul. 
It's not the way that you say it, 
When you do those things to me.
 It's more the way you really mean it,
 When you tell me what will be. 
Aaah... 
Why do we never get an answer, 
When we're knocking at the door. 
With a thousand million questions, 
About hate and death and war? 
'Cos when we stop 
and look around us, 
There is nothing that we need. 
In a world of persecution, 
That is burning in its greed. 
Aaah...
