Moon Go Down

Waited all night, baby
Moon go down
Waited a long time, baby
Moon go down
Plenty of time, baby
Don’t take mine
Plenty of time, lately
Don’t take mine

True hearts will rise, baby
True hearts will fall
Oh, sleep tight, baby
True hearts will fall

Waited a long time, baby
Moon go down
Waited all night, baby
Moon go down
Sun come up, baby, and
Moon go down
Sun come up just to
hang around.

Won’t you tear this love
like a thorn from my side?

Won’t you tear this love
like a thorn from my side?

Won’t you tear this love
like a thorn from my side?

Cave-In

When the better days come
won’t we have a time?
We’ll be holding block parties, shaking hands
and stopping crimes.
I know I’m talkin’ crazy
I know my voice ain’t right
Got up for work this mornin’
Never went to bed last night
When the better days come
won’t we have a time?

When the better days come
won’t the rooftops fly?
They’ll take to the air and we,
we’ll look inside.
We’ll see people makin’ love
Old ladies makin’ wine
Just like a carnival
and just this side of fine
When the better days come
won’t we have a time?

The Last Professionals

If there’s a spot they left off the map
then I’m sure that’s where you are.
An old gnostic tourist trap
where we could fall in love under different stars.
Sons and daughters of the last in line
you’re wasting time.

If there’s a tunnel to this world’s heart
then I better know where it ends.
An empty tombstone in a vacant lot, sayin’
someday we will rise again.
Sons and daughters of the last in line
you’re wasting time.

Dealers and barkers all sat down and wept
on the day that they saw me go by.
Me and my monkey are all I have left
You know I’ll be sayin’ bye-bye…

Funky Valentine

Lordy, lordy!
It’s hard to be humble when you wake up feelin’ this good.
Lordy, lordy!
I know I won’t stumble. I always do the things I should.
Lordy, lordy!
It’s hard to be humble when you wake up feelin’ this fine.
Lady, lady!
Won’t you give me a tumble? You can be my funky valentine!

People

Some people who know where they’re goin’
Other people just plain don’t
And then there’s some, when they find themselves a current
they get on board and they float.

I was hangin’ out down by the station
There’s a train there take me right from A to B
And I’m lookin’ back, when I’m makin’ my connection
Thinkin’ about you endlessly.

There’s writing you sent me on a postcard
There’s writing I read right off the wall
But in the end, it’s the writing on my ticket
tells me ’bout my next port of call.

There’s people who know where they’re goin’
There’s people who got someplace to be
And then there’s us, we’re like a river that keeps flowin’
Trying to make it back to the sea.

Monkey Blues

Well I would rather be a monkey
than be treated like this by you.
Everyone loves a monkey
and they love everyone too.
Just like little people
but with tails and fangs and fur.
Live their lives in the monkey house
and sleep upon the floor.

A monkey’s got no cares at all
it’s as happy as can be.
Flings his shit upon the walls
That’s the life for me!
If your woman gives you trouble
If your man just gives you grief
Get on down to the monkey house
Get you some relief!

Well I would rather be a monkey
than be treated like this by you
Everyone loves a monkey
Just like I love you

Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey
monkey, monkey blues.
Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey
monkey, monkey love.

Let’s Fall In Love

Don’t the moon look pretty?
Did you know that it’s a ship?
It’s going to take us way up to the sun.
And we, we’re all bored spirits
waiting round to take that trip.
But while we’re here on earth let’s have some fun.

The Greatest Jewish Cowboy of Them All

Everybody’s heard about the great cowboys
All of the Protestant faith
But there were Buddhists and Catholics too
found in the western States (uh-huh)

Old Nate held on to his Star of David
when he heard the coyotes call (ah-woo!)
None of his flock did he let stray
He was the greatest Jewish cowboy of them all.

Let’s Fall In Love

don’t the moon look pretty
did you know that it’s a ship
it’s going to take us way up to the sun

we we’re all bored spirits
waiting round to take that trip
but while we’re here on earth
let’s have some fun

don’t that moon look lovely
did you know that it’s a rock
no reason no purpose no beauty there at all

and me I’m just a monkey
that somehow learned to talk
to walk on two legs
maybe even fall

let’s fall in love
let’s fall in love
(lalalalalalala la)
even monkeys and bored spirits fall in love

don’t the moon look lovely
did you know that it’s a face
it’s looking down on everything we do

you could put your hand in mine
and that ain’t no disgrace
it don’t matter if he sees that too

let’s fall in love
let’s fall in love
he would do it if he could
he’d fall in love

let’s fall in love
’cause it’s feeling like we should
let’s fall in love

don’t the moon look lovely
now that’s all that I can say
I hope I’ve said enough and not too much

‘cuz the moon is just the nighttime
and darling you’re a summer’s day
and the moon you know is far too far to touch

let’s fall in love
let’s fall in love
let’s fall in love
let’s fall in love

Take Care My Friends

Take heart my friends
We’ll meet again
Take heart my friends
We’ll meet again
Fire from the mountain’s going to
burn up all the sea.
Take care my friends
Wait for me

Long time to go
Long time gone
Long time to go
Long time gone
Bottom of the ocean’s
never seen the light of day
Take care my friends
while I’m away.
