Lyrics

DANCING NANCIES

could i have been

a parking lot attendant

could i have been

a millionaire in bel air

could i have been

lost somewhere in paris

could i have been

your little brother

could i have been anyone other than me

could i have been oh anyone other than me

could i have been anyone

he stands touch his hair his shoes untied

tongue gaping stare

could i have been a magnet for money

could i have been anyone other than me

twenty three

i'm so tired of life

such a shame to throw it all away

the images grow darker still

could i have been anyone other then me?

then i

look up at the sky

my mouth is open wide, like and taste

what's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying

turn turn we almost become dizzy

i am who i am who i am well who am i

requesting some enlightenment

could i have been anyone other than me?

and then i'll

sing and dance and i'll play for you tonight

the thrill of it all

dark clouds may hang on me sometimes

but i'll work it out

and then i

falling out of a world of lies

could i have been dancing nancy

dancing nancy

could i have been anyone other than me?

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY

Up and down the puppies� hair

Fleas and ticks jump everywhere

�cause of original sin

Down the hill fell jack and jill

And you came tumbling after

�cause of original sin

Rip away the tears

Drink a hope to happy years

And you may find

A lifetime�s passed you by

What would you say

Don�t drop the big one

If you a monkey on a string

Don�t cut my lifeline

If you a doggie on a chain

Don�t bite the mailman

What would you say

I was there when the bear

Ate his head, thought it was a candy

Everyone goes in the end

Knock knock on the door

Who�s it for, there�s nobody in here

Look in the mirror my freind

I don�t understand at best

And connot speak for all the rest

The morning rise a lifetime�s passed me by

Every dog has it�s day every day has it�s way

Of being forgotten

Mom it�s my birthday

What would you say

CORTEZ, THE KILLER

He came dancing across the water

With his galleons and guns

Looking for the new world

In that palace in the sun.

On the shore lay montezuma

With his coca leaves and pearls

In his halls he often wondered

With the secrets of the worlds.

And his subjects gathered �round him

Like the leaves around a tree

In their clothes of many colors

For the angry gods to see.

And the women all were beautiful

And the men stood straight and strong

They offered life in sacrifice

So that others could go on.

Hate was just a legend

And war was never known

The people worked together

And they lifted many stones.

They carried them to the flatlands

And they died along the way

But they built up with their bare hands

What we still can�t do today.

And I know she�s living there

And she loves me to this day

I still can�t remember when

Or how I lost my way.

He came dancing across the water

Cortez, cortez

What a killer.

JIMI THING

Lately I've been feeling low

A remedy is what I'm seeking

I take a taste of what's below

Come away to something better

What I want is what I've not got

But what I need is all around me

Reaching searching never stop

And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while

'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mommy

If you could keep me floating just for a while

I'll get back to you

Sometimes a Jimi Thing slides my way and keeps me swingin'

I'd like to show you what's inside

And I sure don't care if you do or don't like it

Brother chaos rule all about

Sometimes I walk there

Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there

Shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling

The day is gone I'm on my back

Staring up at the ceiling

I take a drink sit back relax

Smoke my mind make me feel

Better for a small time

What I want is what I've not got

And what I need is all around me

Reaching searching never stop

And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while

'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... mommy

If you could keep me floating just for a while

I'll get back to you

Sometimes I think a Jimi Thing just keep me swingin'

I'd like to show you what's inside

And I sure don't care if you do or don't like it

Brother chaos rule all about

Sometimes I walk there

Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there

Shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling

(instrumental solo)

Lately I've been feeling low

A remedy is what I'm looking for cooking for

So I take a taste of what's below

Come away...

If you could keep me floating just for a while

'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called Jimi...

If you could keep me floating just for a while

Well I'll get back to you

Sometimes I think a Jimi Thing just keep me swingin'

I'd like to show you what's inside

And I sure don't care if you do or don't like it

Brother chaos rule all about

Sometimes I walk there

Yes, God knows, sometimes I take a bus there

Shouldn't care I shouldn't care bereaved as I'm feeling
