Mama Kin

It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.

Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.

Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.

Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.
[repeat once]

One Way Street

hey look on yonder, what's that I see
well that old bogus honey coming after me
I thought you told her I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed I was hangin' around
say, listen babe, don't go wastin' your time
you keep on comin' round you'll hear the same old line
you got a thousand boys, you say you need 'em
you take what's good for you and I'll take my freedom
'cause lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I gotta go the other way
I thought I knew her, my cagey lady
how could my sunshine be so damn shady
she'll say she love to talk a conversation
but I'm the one that makes my situation
this one way city, that I thought I knew
it's such a pity honey, that's it for you
there's nothin' over here I never showed ya
I made it pretty clear I'm glad to know ya
you know your brother Spike, he's on the level
but you always lookin' like you're mad at the devil
don't say I cop a 'tude, it's all forgotten
it's just you're much too rude, your fruits are rotten *
you know I work so hard to keep it alive
now all I hear from you is nothin' but jive
lately it's been so hard now to make ends meet
and honey, your head's a one way street
and I really been feelin' like I could be movin' on *
your head's like a one way street
when you're foolin' everybody you meet
your head's like a one way street
you got to get yourself back on your feet

Dream On

every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay

yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win

half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things you do, come back to you

sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

dream on, dream on, dream on,
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on, dream on, dream on,
and dream until your dream comes true
dream on [7x]

Make It

good evening people, welcome to the show
got something here I want you all to know
when laughin' people bring on primal screams *
you got to think of what it's gonna take to make your dreams
make it
don't break it
I said make it
don't break it
do then ya feel like the world's coming down on you
you know that history repeats itself
but you just learned so by somebody else *
you know you do, you gotta think up fast *
you gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
make it
don't fake it
said make it
don't fake it
better weather, pull yourself together
don't be catchin' the blues
better weather, pull yourself together
what have you got to lose
you're only paying your dues
if you're gone I'll get you anyway
although you know what you've been going through

Somebody

"Somebody"

I need a lady, not somebody shady
need someone to be close to
somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
help me see my whole day through
someone to share the load
somebody to walk the road I live on... live!
good Lord send me, good Lord mend me
send me down someone for me
said I won't be choosy, you could send me a floozy
send me anybody you please
somebody say you will
somebody further still
somebody, some-somebody for me
now won't you send me somebody
yeah, somebody
won't you send me somebody
now won't you send me somebody
well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
call woman, woman, come on to me
save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)
