Lot to Learn - Lee Marrow

These honky-tonks and bright lights used to thrill me I'd paint the town and stumble in at dawn But now there's no one listening for my footsteps And it's winding down to one more night alone I thought I had her wrapped around my finger I didn't think this bridge would ever burn I always thought she'd take me back But she taught me the cold hard fact When it comes to love, I've got a lot to learn It never crossed my mind that she might leave me She did her best to love me 'til the end If she were here, I know I'd treat her better But I won't ever get that chance again I thought I had her wrapped around my finger I didn't think this bridge would ever burn I always thought she'd take me back But she taught me the cold hard fact When it comes to love, I've got a lot to learn When it comes to love, I've got a lot to learn Oh, when it comes to love, I've got a lot to learn

Stepped off the plane down in Cabo Just meaning to stay for a week I got a funny sensation about this vacation The second the sand hit my feet Taxi driver took my two bags He saw me looking at my watch He said, "You won't need that here 'cause time disappears In paradise there ain't no clocks" You got a lot to learn about livin' It's a different world down here Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin' Does it go with tequila or beer? He dropped me off at the hotel I took a U-turn into the bar I sat down on a stool out by the pool Next to a lady smoking a Cuban cigar I ordered a drink and took out my cell phone I tried to make a call to L.A. Dang thing wouldn't work, I started to curse Bartender said, "I bet it can wait" You got a lot to learn about livin' It's a different world down here Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin' Does it go with tequila or beer? Ay, ay, ay, change is in the air Now, I ain't got a care Six months later I'm driving a taxi I got a Hawaiian shirt and a tan Pick up some guy in a Brooks Brothers tie I say, "It's time to loosen up man" You got a lot to learn about livin' It's a different world down here Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin' Does it go with tequila or beer? There's a lot to learn about livin' It's a different life down here Our biggest problem's decidin' what fish we're fryin' Does it go with tequila or beer?

Lasciviously they move Two powers bound for unity Like magnets they align, under immunity The product of their congress, their libidinous deed - Insatiable mouth of conflict and greed Beware the soon to be born bringer of pain One evil by another inseminated Pure hatred conceived The pairing of blood and power A spawn of harm produced Death and profit begotten, fused A ghost-producing offspring. Immorality's embodiment Spite and disgust incarnate. A progeny insane Tar-black ejaculate The seminal bile of conspiracy - The blood of those who died Their innocence, their marrow The pursuit of ruin. Murderous ambition Bloodshed, the careless taking of lives A conduct symbolic of its condition Behold the newborn monstrosity Descendant of avarice Indifferent war machine in all its violent glory A callous iron God born to reign Tar-black ejaculate The seminal bile of conspiracy - The blood of those who died Their innocence, their marrow

Muscle connects to the bone And bone to the ire and the marrow I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron Mouth connects to the teeth And teeth to the loves and curses Honey can you reach the spot that need oilin' and fixin'? H-E-L-P Help me, help me H-E-L-P Help me, help me Muscle connects to the bone And bone to the ire and the marrow So I pretend there aren't ten strings tied to all ten of my fingers H-E-L-P Help me, help me If you want we could go somewhere else H-E-L-P, H-E-L-P H-E-L-P, H-E-L-P
