Mambo Sun
Beneath the be-bop moon I want to croon with you
Beneath the mambo sun I got to be the one with you, ooh, with you, ooh, with you
My life's a shadowless horse if I can't get across to you 
In the alligator rain my heart�s all pain for you, ooh, for you, ooh, you
Girl, you're good and I've got wild knees for you 
On a mountain range I'm Dr. Strange for you, ooh, for you, ooh, you

Upon a savage lake, make no mistake, I love you 
I got a powder-keg leg and my wig's all pooped for you, ooh, for you, ooh, you
With my hat in my hand I'm a hungry man for you 
I got stars in my beard and I feel real weird for you, ooh, for you, ooh, you
Beneath the be-bop moon I'm howling like a loon for you 
Beneath the mambo sun I've got to be the one for you, ooh, for you, ooh, you
Oh, take me

For you, oh, yeah, for you, for you
For you, for you, for you
For you, for you, for you

Cosmic Dancer
I was dancing when I was twelve, I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was out, I was dancing when I was out
I danced myself right out the womb, I danced myself right out the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon, I danced myself right out the womb
I was dancing when I was eight, I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late, is it strange to dance so late

I danced myself into the tomb, I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon, I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand the fear that dwells inside a man, oh
What's it like to be a alone, I liken it to a balloon 

I danced myself out of the womb, I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon, I danced myself into the tomb 
But ghen again, once more 
I danced myself out of the womb, I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon, I danced myself out of the womb

Jeepster
You're so sweet, you're so fine
I want your all and everything just to be mine
Cos you're my baby, cos you're my love
Oh, girl, I'm just a jeepster for you love

You slide so good with bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
Cos you're my baby, yes, you're my love
Oh, girl, I'm just a jeepster for you love

Just like a car, you're pleasing to behold
I'll call you Jaguar, if I may be so bold
Cos you're my baby, yes you're my love
Oh, girl, I'm just a jeepster for you love, oh

The wild winds blow upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip, it always makes me weak
Cos you're my baby, yes, you're my love
Oh, girl, I'm just a jeepster for you love, alright

Your motivation is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning up my feet
Cos you're my baby, ooh, yes, you're my love
Oh, girl, I'm just a jeepster for you love
I said, girl, I'm just a vampire for your love 
And I'm gonna suck you

Monolith
The throne of time is a kingly, a kingly thing
From, whence you know, we all do begin
And dressed as you are girl in your fashions of fate
And baby, it's too late 

Shallow are the actions of the children of men
Fogged was their vision, since the ages began
And lost like a lion in the canyons of smoke
Girl, but it's no joke, oh no

Shallow are the actions of the children of men
But it's no joke, oh no, oh no

The throne of time is a kingly, a kingly thing
From, whence you know, we all do begin
And dressed as you are girl in your fashions of fate
And girl, it's too late, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
But it's too late, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

Lean Woman Blues
Take ten
One and two and buckle my shoe, oh

Oh, lean love
All you give to me is lean love
I'm like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in his hand and I'm blue, yeah

Oh, black day
All you give to me are your wild ways
When you're the love of my life
And then you gorge me with a knife and I'm blue - that's untrue, oh

Lightning 
Oh, the heavy world is frightening - I'm talking to you
I'm like a child in the sand
On the beach of the land of you
Oh, I'm your friend - let your hair down

Oh, lean love
All you give to me is your lean love
I'm like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in my hand and I'm blue - yes, I really like you

Yeah

Girl
Oh, God - high in your fields above earth
Come and be real for us
You with your mind
Oh yes, you are beautifully fine

Oh, girl - electric witch
You are limp in society's ditch
You are visually fine
Oh yes, you are, but mentally dying, oh
Oh yes, you are

Oh, boy - just like a boat you are sunk
But somehow you float, you do 
Mentally weak
Oh yes, you are, but so much you speak

Oh, girl - electric witch
You are limp in society's ditch
You are visually fine
Oh yes, you are, but mentally dying

I could have loved you, girl, like a planet
I could have chained your heart to a star
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas

I could have built a house on the ocean
I could have placed your love in the sky
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas

I could have turned you into a priestess
I could have burned your fate in the sand
But it really doesn't matter at all

Rip Off
One and two and three and four and
One, two, three, four

In the moonlight and fighting with the night
It's a rip off
Kissing all the slain, I'm bleeding in the rain
It's a rip off, boss, such a rip off

Rockin' in the nude, I'm feelin' such a dude
It's a rip off
Dancin' in the dark with the tramps at the park
It's a rip off, such a rip off, yeah

See your baby's stud, sliding in my mud
It's a rip off
Bleached on the beach, I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip off, yeah

See the girl in dance in her man-skin pants
It's a rip off
Terraplane Tommy wanna bang your gong
It's a rip off, such a rip off

Gypsy girl's good, people treat her like a fool
She's a rip off
The president's weird, he's got a burgundy beard
It's a rip off, such a rip off
Oh, yeah

I'm the King of the highway, I'm the Queen of the hop
You should see me at the Governor�s ball doing the rip off bop
I'm a social person, I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip on his silver hip living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley, I'm the fleetfoot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said, all of which I understand

Caught like skunk in space and time
It's a rip off
If it's hers, well, it must be mine
It's a rip off, such a rip off
Oh, my God

Dancin' in the nude, feelin' such a dude
It's a rip off, ooh
Mountings of the moon remind me of my spoon
It's a rip off, such a rip off

Bleached on the beach, I want to tickle your peach
It's a rip off
See the girl in dance in her man-skin pants
It's a rip off, do it, yeah
Oh, my goodness, babe

There Was A Time
There was a time, everything was fine
You got drunk on the day like it was wine
And all the children, they put flowers in their hair
And all the grown-ups, they put daggers there instead

Like a Palamino stud, come on, hold my hand

There's a man on the corner, got his head in his hat
He dances like a gypsy, so he must be where it's at
Do the rock - do the woodland rock

The wind is the thing that makes the body swing
It brings you up and takes you down and treats you like a king

Met a little momma, she was sweet, she was gone
She's got legs like a railroad, face like a song

Wind is in the willows, my house is up a tree
The seas of change are flowing, I want everybody free

The King of the Mountain cometh
On his arm there was a dove
In livery green and tapestry clean
He called it his Falcon of Love, oh yeah, called it his Falcon of Love

Was a child of fifteen years
His eyes were bored with galactic lores
He had points upon his ears, oh yeah, points upon his ears

Was a changeling son from Mars
He learned his song from the Cosmic Throngs
And played them on a Fender guitar, oh yeah, played them on a Fender guitar

Came to sell me a wonderous thing
In a horn of oak with a sulpherous smoke
She gave me King Solomon's ring, oh yeah, gave me the magical thing

On his arm there was a dove
In livery green and tapestry clean
He called it his Falcon of Love, oh yeah, called it his Falcon of Love
