Mid-Century Modern

Mose Alison swingin' on the radio
Driving to the Valley Ho
Stickin your thighs to the red naugahyde
Ordering a hot cup of Joe
Imposible curves back at the Clarendon
Mosaic platinum and gold
Purple dessert hills in the dyin' light
Phoenix is rising here tonight
Mid-Century Modern girl, doin' the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin' on the hardwood floor
Water falling down the plexiglass walls
A paradise of sunshine and chrome
Starlight shining down the bottom of the pool
You can see it from the rooftop bar
We're gonna see Sedona tonight
Sagueros and pink bungalows
Don't take a picture of her Airstream trailer man
She thinks you're gonna foreclose her
Mid-Century Modern girl, doing the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin on the hardwood floor
Going to drive to the Canyon in the dawn's early light
And listen to our shouts echo
Maybe walk a path to the bottom one day
And watch my ticker explode
Fried cheese and hot sauce heaped on a plate
With microbrew Rattlesnake Beer "Get bit"
A reporter got killed here on this very day
It all happened right here in this place
Mid-Century Modern girl, doing the Fandango
Mid-Century Modern girl, stompin' on the hardwood floor
And the sun is strong, a drought's coming on
Where is the water.
And the sun is strong, a drought's coming on
Where is the water.

I got my cash, I got my keys
I'm gonna get me out of this rodeo
Got my guitar , I've got my needs
I've got tunes cranked up on the radio
Jacked up full of Joe with a heartbeatin' rhythm and
Life , on the road
Drivin' on the Yellowhead
Going to see my baby tonight, my baby-o
I got my shades , I got my cell
I got a gizmo watching' for the radar
I can't be stopping half way there
I don't wanna be sleeping' in my car
Five will get you ten I'll be rollin' in by quarter to three
I'll bet you any money she'll be over the moon for me
Got fire in my belly got desire
I got new shoes stomping on the gas line
I got a fake tan I gotta dirty plan
I got money honey baby got the time
Can't get there fast enough don't wanna be late again
When they ever gonna make the limit 110 hey?
I got my heart . iI got my love
I got a great big big ol' smile
I got things on my feeble mind with my imagination running'
Wild, the faster I go the sooner I'll be lovin' her
Cornfields and telephone poles are starting to blur
She got the look she got her ways ,
She's got the will she's got the nerve
She's got a hunger , she likes to play
She can cook, baby she's got curves
Baby honey baby I'm missing you more and more,
Baby honey baby I'm knocking' at your door
Now there she is , just like I planned
She always does this to me
Her smilin' face , her lovin' arms
I can't believe she's loving' me
Baby honey baby, good to see you too
Baby honey baby, keep on doing what you're doing
Baby honey baby, I'm never ever ever gonna leave you oo

(Leslie's) Birthday
03:20

The sun comes up on another day
The sky is grey and blue
I'm lying here in my big old bed
First thing you know I'm thinking about you
This day you are another year older honey
And it sure looks good on you
I hope you're missing me and wondering if
I sit around thinking about you
Those big eyes shine like diamonds
That smile so bright and true
And how wonderfully you've shown
Your heart to me
Now I just sit around thinking about you
And how wonderfully you've shown
Your heart to me
Now I just sit around thinking about you
And carefully you show your heart to me
I just around thinking about you

Gold Ford Stilettos
03:57
|
|||
|
I've been working like a dog all day
Well not really that's a lie
But doing nothing can really take a toll on a guy
She says"baby come on, you need to get out of this place"
"You've been cooped up way too long"
"I'll even put my gold Ford stilettos on"
I said OK. When you swing those long legs round in the seat
I start thinking I could write a libretto
You only like to wear 'em when we go uptown
With the Galaxy shining and the ragtop down
It's not like we'll be out walking
Just like to get out there in style
But when we get home later babe, leave 'em on for awhile
Talking 'bout those Gold Ford Stilettos
When you swing those long gams out on the floor
It ain't nothing like they've got in the ghetto
Only takes a little bit of something you got
To make a grown man think he's really livin' it up
Now I'm happy as a clam these days
somethings cooking' all the time
Especially when those Gold Ford Stilettos start to shine
Talking 'bout those Gold Ford Stilettos

Honeybee
03:26
|
|||
|
Flying high above the trees 'Landing on a lilly leaf
Drawn to crimson repartee, oh honeybee
Buzzin' round the crooked fence
On the balm and on the scent
Finding all the sweetest plants, honeybee
Powder pickin' for their friends
What everybody needs
Sweeter than the breeze
Like birds believe in trees
I believe in honeybee
As sure as anyone can tell
There won't be a person left to fall
for anything
Without a honeybee
or anyone
What everybody wants
Sweeter than a song
Like you need the trees to breath
You're gonna a need a honeybee
How's a body supposed to know
How it happens , how to tell
Seems we need to keep the peace
with honeybee
Little wings beating strong
Hauling all that honey home
A humming hive in harmony, honeybee
A single sting will be the end, of honeybee
Little wonder
Honeybee

Blueberry

Blueberry, about to appear on the vine
Can't wait to see you come summertime
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
The first thing you are going to see are
People in love
Like out of the blue , a gift from above
Looking at 2 people in love
Blueberry all fresh and shiny new
Wont be long until they're holding you
When you wave your arms around
You know what you're going to do ?
You'll be reaching out for people in love
Like out of the blue a gift from a hove
Touching 2 people in love
That's when you'll say "how lucky am I"
When you look up into those thankful eyes
When the light of day shines down on you
Your first breath will fill their hearts too
Blueberry, growing up all well and strong
That's our wish for you
As you travel along
When you tell your story some day
You might sing us a song
It's gonna about people in love
Like out of the blue a gift from above
You just might say "how lucky am I"

Good To Be Home
04:15

The Florida coastline turns into a thin line
From way up here.
Egrets and waiters and white alligators have all disappeared
And palm trees and cobblestone streets sure had their charm
At the Fountain of Youth
We learned about Ponce De Leon
It was so nice to walk the town square with nothing on
But we're going home
Through the eye of the storm
We're going home
We're over Chicago, some day maybe we'll go
But now we're prairie bound
They're salting the runway and clearing the pathways
as we touch down
And shades of white and grey are all you see
Our cab drivers new door was stolen within a week
His new wife is so darn smart she can read his mind
And the cat's in the window as we pull into the drive
It's good to be home
In the eye of the storm
It's good to be home
With a flood coming on
Now Fargo is bracing because they are facing
Yet another rise
Water is dangerous and friends and strangers
are building a dike
The inevitable crest will make its way to you
As the river out back rises up I get a better view
Its cold in this house and I've put on my toque
I won't turn up the heat 'cause Spring is way past due
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
In the eye of the storm
It's good to be home
With a flood coming on
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
It's good

Why Do You Call Me
02:43

If You Don't Want Me
Why do you call me
I try to help you
You just don't get me
You're making things up
That never even happened to you
If I'm so bad dear
Why do you call me
This was a glad song
Now its a sad one
I was so good to you
Why can't you just talk to me
You like to feel pain
You want to slander my name
If you don't want me
Why do you call me
I really love you baby, You know that it's true
But in the middle of the night
Do you wanna cuddle and coo
Or beat me baby…..black and blue
You like to feel pain
You want to slander my name
Hey, If you don't want me
Why do you call me
You're either down low
Or flying high somewhere
You're putting on a show
Or hiding in despair
Now I have no clue
And baby neither do you
If I'm don't want me
Why do you call me
If I 'm so evil , why do you call me

Back To You
03:05

You've been running from the government
You've been running from the law
You been running from the repo man
Running your self raw
You been telling everybody lies
running from your self
You been running us ragged honey
running round like hell
and i've had it now
there's nothing left to do
Before you come on back to me
Ya gotta get back to you
You've been walking around here
with a chip or 2
Sitting on your shoulder while you are getting older
It don't look good on you
You gotta get out now
and find your due
Before you get to see me honey
You gotta get back to you
Back to you, It's what cha gotta do
Before you get on back to me
You gotta get back to you
Solo
There's a lotta people watching you
Pushing rocks up a hill
Talking bout you loosin your way
going for the kill
loosin all those people
who were best for you
Before they come back thru that door
Ya gotta get back to you
Back to you, It's what you gotta do
Before you get on back to me
You gotta get back to you
You had the world by the balls
They said you looked so bold
Every one wanted what you had
What you touched was gold
You were looking so fine back then
Every where you went
You were in your prime back then
But that's all been spent
Every body every day
opened doors for you
Before you get back to those doors
You gotta get back to you
Back to you, It's what you gotta do
Before you get on back to me
You gotta get back to you
I'm saying' we're thru
You know i've been there too
Before you come back to my door
You gotta get back to you

I Want My Money Back
03:34

She got a deal on a hell of a man
He was so hot and so cool !
He was just what she was lookin for,
kind and good and true
Her whole world was lookin pretty sharp
It was so NOT out of whack !
Every day was like a big holiday where you never wanna come back
He was free and all tuned up
he was all ready to go
Only cost her some of her time ,
freedom, money and love
So when things turned a little sour
And she started doubting his words ,
She started seein what he lacked
She started saying Hey ! I want my money back
Its all over honey
I want my money back
Its all over honey
I want my money back
The price you pay for what you want
Can get you into a jam
The heartache, suffering and troubled times
Was never in the beautiful plan
You start seeing things a different way
You start saying , "what have I done?"
You start thinking , "where's all the fun?"
Its all over honey
I want my money back
Its all over honey
I want my money back
