Springtime In Paris - Tony Osborne

Instructions from the manual Could not have been more plain The blues are still required, that's right The blues are still required again Past territorial piss-posts Past whispers in the closets Past screamin' from the rooftops We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes [Incomprehensible] Men here of the secret They pass in upholstered silence They only exist in crisis They only exist in silence Past territorial piss-posts Past whispers in the closets Past screamin' from the rooftops We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes We live to survive our paradoxes [Incomprehensible] runin' out [Incomprehensible] sixty seconds on the dial And that takes a while

Standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona And I'm quite shure I'm in the wrong song Two girls sixty five got a piece tied up in the back seat "Honey, we're Recovering Christians" In the springtime of his voodoo He was going to show me spring And right there for a minute I knew you so well And right there for a minute I knew you so well Got an angry snatch, girls, you know what I mean When swiveling that hip doesn't do the trick Me pureed sanitarily Mister Sulu Warp speed, warp speed, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey In the springtime of his voodoo In the springtime of his voodoo Voice 1: Every road leads back to my door Every road I will follow Every road leads back to my door Got all crosses loaded Voice 2: And right there for a minute I knew you so well And right there for a minute I knew And I know she's not that foxy, boys I said I know she's not that foxy but You got to owe something sometimes You got to owe, boys, when you're your momma's sunshine You've got to give something sometimes When you're the sweetest cherry in the apple pie I need some voodoo on my prunes In the spring time of his voodoo In the spring time of his voodoo Yes, he, he was going to show me spring

When it's springtime in the rockies I'm coming back to you Little sweetheart of the mountains With your bonny eyes of blue Once again, I'll say I love you While the birds sing all the day When it's springtime in the rockies In the rockies, far away The twilight shadows deepen into night, dear The city lights are gleaming o'er the snow I sit alone beside the cheery fire, dear I'm dreaming dreams from out the long ago I fancy it is springtime in the rockies The flowers with their colors all aflame And though I long to be back in the rockies I'll wait until the springtime comes again When it's springtime in the rockies I'm coming back to you Little sweetheart of the mountains With your bonny eyes of blue Once again, I'll say I love you While the birds sing all the day When it's springtime in the rockies In the rockies, far away

Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Well, I found him in Pensacola In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellow in my hand Creased and yellow in my hand He was squinting and stubbled And standing in the door He said, "If you've come to take the car away I don't have it anymore I don't have it anymore" Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey He got the gospel on the radio And the gospel on TV He got all of the transcripts Back to 1963 Back to 1963 He said, "I sold my blood for money There wasn't any pain But I just can't stand the feeling It's in someone else's veins" It's in someone else's vei-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Vei-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Mama took me aside And she tried to change my mind She said, "Don't waste your time in looking There's nothin', nothin' left to find Nothin', nothin' left to find" So I left him in Pensacola In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellow in my hand Creased and yellow in my ha-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yay-yay Hey-hey, yay-yay Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey Hey-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey, yeah-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey

Whatever happened to this It was an island of bliss In this ridiculous place But now the river runs black And I don't know the way back I feel it going to waste We are the mongrels Underneath the table Fighting for the leavings Tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels Tearing up the floorboards Unaware of the banquet Up above our heads I reach across the divide I want to take you inside But something's holding me bound There is a thorn in my side That's coming on like a tide These tender feelings do drown We are the mongrels Underneath the table Fighting for the leavings Tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels Tearing up the floorboards Unaware of the banquet Up above our heads This is a chance for the prize It's waiting here in my eyes You hardly look at me now With every beat of my heart I want to make a new start But I don't seem to know how We are the mongrels Underneath the table Fighting for the leavings Tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels Rolling on the floorboards Unaware of the banquet Up above our heads
