Black Cow
 
  • In the corner
  • Of my eye
  • I saw you in Rudy's
  • You were very high
  • You were high
  • It was a cryin' disgrace
  • They saw your face
  • On the counter
  • By your keys
  • Was a book of numbers
  • And your remedies
  • One of these
  • Surely will screen out the sorrow
  • But where are you tomorrow
  • I can't cry anymore
  • While you run around
  • Break away
  • Just when it
  • Seems so clear
  • That it's
  • Over now
  • Drink your big black cow
  • And get out of here
  • Down to Greene Street
  • There you go
  • Lookin' so outrageous
  • And they tell you so
  • You should know
  • How all the pros play the game
  • You change your name
  • Like a gangster
  • On the run
  • You will stagger homeward
  • To your precious one
  • I'm the one
  • Who must make everything right
  • Talk it out till daylight
  • I don't care anymore
  • Why you run around
  • Break away
  • Just when it
  • Seems so clear
  • That it's
  • Over now
  • Drink your big black cow
  • And get out of here
Aja
 
  • Up on the hill
  • People never stare
  • They just don't care
  • Chinese music under banyan trees
  • Here at the dude ranch above the sea
  • Aja
  • When all my dime dancin' is through
  • I run to you
  • Up on the hill
  • They've got time to burn
  • There's no return
  • Double helix in the sky tonight
  • Throw out the hardware
  • Let's do it right
  • Aja
  • When all my dime dancin' is through
  • I run to you
  • Up on the hill
  • They think I'm okay
  • Or so they say
  • Chinese music always sets me free
  • Angular banjoes
  • Sound good to me
  • Aja
  • When all my dime dancin' is through
  • I run to you
Deacon Blues
 
  • This is the day
  • Of the expanding man
  • That shape is my shade
  • There where I used to stand
  • It seems like only yesterday
  • I gazed through the glass
  • At ramblers
  • Wild gamblers
  • That's all in the past
  • You call me a fool
  • You say it's a crazy scheme
  • This one's for real
  • I already bought the dream
  • So useless to ask me why
  • Throw a kiss and say goodbye
  • I'll make it this time
  • I'm ready to cross that fine line
  • [Chorus:]
  • I'll learn to work the saxophone
  • I'll play just what I feel
  • Drink Scotch whisky all night long
  • And die behind the wheel
  • They got a name for the winners in the world
  • I want a name when I lose
  • They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
  • Call me Deacon Blues
  • My back to the wall
  • A victim of laughing chance
  • This is for me
  • The essence of true romance
  • Sharing the things we know and love
  • With those of my kind
  • Libations
  • Sensations
  • That stagger the mind
  • I crawl like a viper
  • Through these suburban streets
  • Make love to these women
  • Languid and bittersweet
  • I'll rise when the sun goes down
  • Cover every game in town
  • A world of my own
  • I'll make it my home sweet home
  • [Chorus]
  • This is the night
  • Of the expanding the man
  • I take one last drag
  • As I approach the stand
  • I cried when I wrote this song
  • Sue me if I play too long
  • This brother is free
  • I'll be what I want to be
  • [Chorus]
Peg
 
  • I've seen your picture
  • Your name in lights above it
  • This is your big debut
  • It's like a dream come true
  • And when you smile for the camera
  • I know they're gonna love it
  • I like your pin shot
  • I keep it with your letter
  • Done up in blueprint blue
  • It sure looks good on you
  • So won't you smile for the camera
  • I know I'll love you better
  • Peg
  • It will come back to you
  • Peg
  • It will come back to you
  • Then the shutter falls
  • You see it all in 3-D
  • It's your favorite foreign movie
Home At Last
 
  • I know this super highway
  • This bright familiar sun
  • I guess that I'm the lucky one
  • Who wrote that tired sea song
  • Set on this peaceful shore
  • You think you've heard this one before
  • Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
  • Still I remain tied to the mast
  • Could it be that I have found my home at last
  • Home at last
  • She serves the smooth retsina
  • She keeps me safe and warm
  • It's just the calm before the storm
  • Call in my reservation
  • So long hey thanks my friend
  • I guess I'll try my luck again
  • Well the danger on the rocks is surely past
  • Still I remain tied to the mast
  • Could it be that I have found my home at last
  • Home at last
I Got The News
 
  • You
  • In your Lark
  • You're a mark
  • You're a screamer
  • You know
  • How to hustle
  • Daddy
  • Is a rare
  • Millionaire
  • I don't care
  • Yeah you

  • Was I to know
  • About the warm
  • Soulful secret
  • You been keepin' for years
  • I got the news
  • Slow down I'll tell you when
  • I may never walk again
  • Broadway Duchess
  • Darling if you only knew
  • Half as much as
  • Everybody thinks you do
  • What I hear
  • May be true
  • I would still be proud
  • To know you
  • Spanish kissin'

  • You came ragin'
  • Love rampagin'
  • I got the news
  • Yes dear
  • How did you know
  • Can't you see our love will grow
Josie
 
  • We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
  • When Josie comes home
  • We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
  • When Josie comes home to stay
  • We're gonna park in the street
  • Sleep on the beach and make it
  • Throw down the jam till the girls say when
  • Lay down the law and break it
  • When Josie comes home
  • When Josie comes home
  • So good
  • She's the pride of the neighborhood
  • She's the raw flame
  • The live wire
  • She prays like a Roman
  • With her eyes on fire
  • Jo would you love to scrapple
  • She'll never say no
  • Shine up the battle apple
  • We'll shake 'em all down tonight
  • We're gonna mix in the street
  • Strike at the stroke of midnight
  • Dance on the bones till the girls say when
  • Pick up what's left by daylight
  • When Josie comes home
  • When Josie comes home
  • So bad
  • She's the best friend we ever had
  • She's the raw flame
  • The live wire
  • She prays like a Roman
  • With her eyes on fire
  • When Josie comes home
  • So good
  • She's the pride of the neighborhood
  • She's the raw flame
  • The live wire
  • She prays like a Roman
  • With her eyes on fire
