I wanted to know If it’s all a joke Why is everybody so calm And if it is love It always is love It ain’t need a reason be To be And she’ll leave the thought Of me on the train While trying to Keep your mind sane And if it is up It always is up It ain’t need a reason to be Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone The raven has spoke And taken his toke And left us with nothing But wine And if you decide That you got to hide You’ll never get out Of that bind You could have been kind You’re stuck in your mind I waited around For that ride And if you feel down Then bring me around I’ll be there most Of the time Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone You it’s wrong But it’s alright You it’s wrong But it’s alright You it’s wrong But it’s alright You it’s wrong But it’s alright That road has been walked That talk has been talked And no one Is up in your que It’s always a sign When you’re out of line The water is starting to cool The kettle was hot And now it is not We standing here Just like fools And you can decide Just what's on your mind But you can never Be told Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been Oh well I’ve been gone

Just take your time And savor a drop If it's ain’t that hot It’s wild ride And if you’re trying To keep your cool Stay up in that pool All of the night I’m selling paper to an old bluesman In a big black suit Down on the sidewalk I cheated death By jumping the clutch In a flatbed truck I’m playing the lotto I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care Some people tell ya That your up all night And it ain’t alright But there stuck in the fifties And if you think That that vintage teak Makes you seem oblique Well you got that right man I caught the L On a Friday night In a big rush hour No need to slow down I broke my leg in A downhill run For a big blue prize And I glass of red rum I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care Alright You got a new way Of seein’ around Always lovin And never alone yeah You got a look And lovely eyes and I’ve been to Reno I already know I don’t know if you’re readin’ that sign I don’t know if you’re readin’ that sign I don’t know if you’re readin’ that sign I don’t know if you’re readin’ that sign I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care I don’t care

I’ve been gone for to long That’s a matter of fact And all my friends on the corner They won’t look back And it’s all so damn easy When you’re rollin’ the dice And you wait by the station For some bad advice Yeah it’s alright You can change You’re ok It’s just another Kinda mellow That you’re Lookin’ for When you batten down the windows And open the door Just let the clouds roll by And the feelin’ is more Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor As the leaves turn to red I can feel all the gloom The old man smoke his pipe As he sits in his room All the weight on your shoulders Oh man, dose it ache So you drink a bit of whiskey And it all turns to grey Yeah it’s alright You can change You’re ok It’s just another Kinda mellow That you’re Lookin’ for When you batten down the windows And open the door Just let the clouds roll by And the feelin’ is more Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor All along I have known that All along I have known that All along I have known that All along I have known that Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor Rain-drops on the floor

Put it all down - wonder around We build it up - they tear it down Land that I love - changin’ too fast They’re smokin your grass & steelin your past All the people are a movin And your layin On the floor Times a skippin We are sleepin like an old dog At the wheel Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn Oh, Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn Riding the line - skippin' the signs Payin' your dues - servin' your time They'll take you have - in their evil ways Eyes in the dark , shifting the frames One decision Of derision No it Ain't right Not At all Simply said friend not to offend times a knockin’ on your door Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn Oh, Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn oh it’s alright If you want to burn Yeah it’s alright with me oh it’s alright If you want to burn Yeah it’s alright with me oh it’s alright If you want to burn Yeah it’s alright with me oh it’s alright If you want to burn Yeah it’s alright with me Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn Oh, Don’t stare at the sun Don’t stare at the sun Engines starting to turn Starin’ to turn

Green Lagoon 07:19
I can tell you dear It’s all alright and You can tell me dear Your darkest fears And when we’re alone Time moves slowly Everybody else Is on the move And if you’re feelin’ blue That’s alright cause I can be your friend In times of need And in the green lagoon We’ll open our eyes Look on through the glass And back at you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax It’s hard to live a life In modern fashion Everyone is trapped By their own mirror Wade on by the signs Of sly deception Truth remains aloof A wound that mars And if you’re feelin’ blue That’s alright cause I can be your friend In times of need And in the green lagoon We’ll open our eyes Look on through the glass And back at you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax You don’t know I don’t know And we don’t know Darlin’ You don’t know I don’t know And we don’t know Darlin’ You don’t know I don’t know And we don’t know Darlin’ You don’t know I don’t know And we don’t know Darlin’ Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax Why don’t you Just relax
