Well, I wake up late in the afternoon, |
|
I eat my eggs to the evening news, |
|
and the sun's gone down 'fore I find my shoes, |
|
Music fills the air, but it's all the blues. |
|
And she won't let me fly away |
|
she won't let me fly away |
|
Well, we got no heat and the window's broke, |
|
The storm rains came, ev'rything got soaked |
|
And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke, |
|
Then the Lord looks down sayin', |
|
"Can't you take a joke? |
|
The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard, |
|
The ocean's just a mem'ry in my dream, |
|
Then a man comes a T.V. sellin' soapsuds |
|
To dirty up my rivers and my streams. |
|
Like a myst'ry movie without an end, |
|
When you think it's over, it just begins, |
|
It's not always true that the good guy wins, |
|
I been down so long that I got the bends. |
|
And she won't let me fly away |
|
she won't let me fly away |
|
she won't let me fly away |
|
she won't let me fly away |
|
she won't let me fly away |
