BLISTER ON THE MOON

Everyone is saying what to do and what to think,
When to ask permission when you feel you want to blink.
First look left and then look right do not look straight ahead,
Make sure to take a warning of every word we've said.
Now you lay you down to sleep make sure and get some rest,
Tomorrow is another day and you must pass a test.
Don't try to think too different now what we say is best,
Listen little man you're no better than the rest.

Don't lay beside the wayside all around the road we've set,
Smile and look happy fool or we'll throw you in the wet.

Now if you learn your lesson well and step upon the line,
Save your breath until forever we should get along just fine.
We'll bend your heart until it breaks make sure you feel no pain,
We don't want to crush you and give you to the rain.

But now you want to run away or cannot see you run,
Run across the frozen air try rusting on the sun.
And if you it burn you don't yell out in pain,
Or wish you had a velvet sponge full of soothing rain.

So let's have that stiff upper lip now take a long deep breath,
Close your ears you cannot hear the rules are pre-set.
You thought we were illusions but we meant the words we said,
We're in command, you tiny fly, we'll crush you till you're dead.


LEAVING BLUES

Well, I'm leaving in the mornin',
I don't know which way to go.
I'm leaving in the morning,
Don't know which way to go.
But, I'm leaving in the mornin',
On that CNO.

I lay down on my pillow,
I cry myself to sleep.
I lay down on my pillow,
I cry myself to sleep.

Love you woman,
You know you are so, so sweet.
Rather see my coffin coming,
Right through my front door.
I'd rather see my coffin coming,
Right through my front door.
Than to hear you say,
You don't want me no more.

I lay down on my pillow,
I cry myself to sleep.
Lay on my pillow,
Cry myself to sleep.

Love you babe,
You know you are so, so sweet.
Leaving in the mornin',
I don't know which way to go.
Leaving in the morning,
Don't know which way to go.

But, I'm leaving in the mornin',
On that CNO.
On that CNO.

SUGAR MAMA

Oh well tell me sugar mama,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
Where in the world,
You get your sugar from.

Tell me sugar woman,
Where in the world did you get your sugar from.
Down in Louisiana,
I was workin' on your daddy's,
Working on your daddy's,
Working on your daddy's,
Sugar farm.

You know they're braggin' about your good sugar,
You know they're braggin' all over town.
You know they're braggin' about your sugar babe,
I swear they're braggin' all over town.

Come on sweet woman,
I like my coffee sweet in the mornin',
Woman I'm crazy about my tea at night.
I like my coffee sweet in the mornin',
You know I love my tea at night.

Come on sweet woman,
If I don't get my sugar three times a day,
Oh darlin' I don't feel right.

Sugar mama, sugar mama, sugar,sugar.
Ahh .. sugar mama, I just want you tonight.


BORN ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TIME

Born on the wrong side of time,
Even your best friend,
Is ready, to watch you die.
You don't want to live on the street,
So you've got to sweat till your'e dead,
To make ends meet.

Born on the wrong side of time,
Your days are so cold,
That you curse, just something to cry.

That you should be living in fear,
When you cry out,
Your friends just don't want to hear.
And you dream, of the day,
When the great mastertime,
Will call us .... to his side.

And you watch, your brothers,
Shake with fear, as they watch,
His serpintine .... eye.
And you can smell, their fear,
As they stand, and curse,
The fact that they're .... alive.
Born on the wrong side of time,
Pretend to yourself,
That some day, you'll do just fine.

You know that you live through a lie,
You'll only find out what went wrong,
When the sun makes us cry.


DUAL CARRIAGEWAY PAIN

You'll just have to own another man,
You'll just have to own another man,
How could you do those things to me?
When you know I'm doing the best I can.
Baby why you do these things to me,
I'll never know,
Baby why you do these things to me,
I'll never know,
When you know I love you,
And you know I'll never let you go.

Well, had that woman just won't do what's right,
Had that woman just won't do what's right,
You just wanna play around,
You just wanna stay out every night.

Try to do what's best for you,
Try to treat you kind,
Try to do what's best for you,
Try to treat you kind,
You just wanna play around,
You just wanna worry up my mind.

Well, had that woman just won't do what's right,
Had that woman just won't do what's right,
You just wanna play around,
You just wanna stay out every night.


SAME OLD STORY

Same old story, night and day,
Same old story since you went away.
I'm walking out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back baby,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.

Same old story, I can't believe,
Same old story, that you wanna leave.

Without you it's a nightmare,
And the air is chill,
Get the next train home,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.
Same old story, am I really down?
Same old story, in this one horse town.

Walking out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back woman,
Your place no one can fill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.

Same old story, am I really down?
Same old story, the earth goes round?

Walkin' out my shoes,
You can't count the tears I spill.
Come back baby,
I'm standing by the window sill,
It'll be the same old story,
Yes it will.


CATFISH

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty womens,
Fishing after me,
Fishing after me.
Well, I went down to my baby's house,
And I sat down on the steps.
She said, "Come on in and have me,
My old man just left,
Just now left".

Well, there's two trains a runnin',
And there's not one, goin' my way.
One runs at midnight,
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.
Other just for day.

Well, she's long,
And she's so tall,
Well, she shakes,
Like a willow tree.
They say she's no good,
She's alright with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.
Right with me.

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.
All you pretty women,
Swimmin' after me,
Swimmin' after me.

I wish I was your catfish.

I'M MOVIN' ON

See that big eight-wheeler coming down the track,
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back.
Movin' on, I'll soon be gone.
You're flyin' too high, for my little old sky,
I'm movin' on.
I've warned you baby, from time to time,
You just didn't listen, didn't pay no mind.
So I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone,
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue.
I'm movin' on.

Now Engineer, take the throttle in hand,
Take me back to the southern land.
I'm movin' on, keep rollin' on,
You're flyin' too high, for my little old sky,
Keep movin' on.

Fireman please, won't you listen to me,
Gotta pretty woman in Tennessee.
Keep rollin' on, keep rollin' on.
Goodbye, goodbye, it's all over now.
I'm movin' on.

Someday baby when you've had your play,
You'll want your daddy but your daddy will say.
Keep rollin' on, keep movin' on,
You're flyin' too high, for my little old sky,
I'm movin' on.

Movin' on, movin' on.
