Daddy (POY)
Daddy She's A Goddess
Dance Between Two Women
Dancing Barefoot
Deep Water
Do You (Spirit)
Don't (POY)
Down At The Bridge
Down So Long (Spirit)
My bones are tired, Daddy
I don't get enough sleep
I don't eat as good as I should, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I sleep past noon, Daddy
Drink lots of black coffee and I smoke like a chimney,
Yes, I left the refrigerator door half open, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to rip out your throat, Daddy
For all those things you said that were mean,
Gonna make you just as vunerable as I was, Daddy
What's that say about me?
Sometimes I want to bash in your teeth, Daddy
Gonna use your tongue as a stamp
Gonna rip your heart out the way you did mine, Daddy
Go ahead and psycho-analyse that
'Cause I'm your creation, I'm your love Daddy
Grew up to be and do all those sick things you said I'd do
Well last night I saw you sneak out your window
With your white hood, Daddy
What's that say about you?
I'm sloppy, what's that say about you?
I'm messy, what's that say about you?
My bones are tired, Daddy.
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Saw her walkin' late at night by the liquor store
Set down my Lucky Lager and followed her out the door
Pretty young thing should know better than to walk home alone
So I saw my duty, had to take her home
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Sister likes to feel her up
Late at night
Use her body for a dartboard
And pin her up right
Oh bullseye there it is again
It's always so fun, 'cause with you I always win
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Read the paper
Check the brass
You're never gonna find that
Body grass
She likes it here
She told me so
She cries "Oh baby!"
Takes all the bowls of coal
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Ain't never gonna find us mountain men
'Cause her sister got boring, we won't be bored again
She's so fine, she's a hillbillies dream
Up here in the mountains, you can't hear her scream
Daddy she's a goddess
Can we keep her tonight?
Daddy she's a goddess
Watch her move
Her hair so clean when she skin's so smooth
Her nose don't drip like me
Daddy can we keep her please please please
Oh yeah yeah
Daddy she's a goddess
(Yodel)
Daddy she's a goddess
(Yodel)
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo daddy
Daddy she's a goddess
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Daddy
Thank you for the flowers you brought me today
And thank you for the kindness you showed me today
No love can be stronger than between two strong women
No man can ever know the dance between two women
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?
Thank you for the wisdom the knowing from inside
And thank you for the comfort only a woman can provide
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?
Thank you for the strength without a need for power
And thank you for the rhythm, the sacred circle
Love can't be stronger than between two strong women
No man can ever know the dance between two women
Like you and I
We can dance... My lady... May I have this dance?
When you find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to scrape yourself up
But you keep seeping out like cheap gin through a broken cup
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else
And when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
When you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love
Love, love, it's nothing without love
It's nothing without love
When you realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
And you wake up to see all your dreams have been compromised
Our standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
'Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've
Made
We sacrifice our pride, compromised our health
We must demand more, not of each other, but more from ourselves
'Cause when you're standing in deep water
And you're bailing yourself out with a straw
When you're drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it's these little times that help to remind
It's nothing without love
Love, love, it's nothing without love
It's nothing without love
Hey, you say you like the way the cowboys tip their hats and say, "How’s it goin’ ma’am?"
But you’re never quite clear if their glares are sincere
Or really only just second hand
To you it’s all roses, it’s a lavender haze
The man is a marvel, but it’s a shame about his brains
But that’s OK
You say "He’s got straight teeth and it’s good sex"
You look to the sky
You look to the man
You claim innocence and not to understand
Or do you, do you?
There’s a big man wearing a white suit and patent leather shoes
He wants to take his monkeys to see the kids at the zoo
'Cause the gypsy on the corner said, "Hey, Mister you can’t lose."
And it’s your first day at the track
You feel that heat on your back
We all want to find a way to beat the system
Find some rhythm in the madness
Get down on your knees and pray
Say, "I’ll do whatever you want, God Just let me have my way"
Well will you, will you?
Come on all you merry men
Rally your cry
Dance with the devil for tomorrow we’ll surely
Hey, hey blow the men down
You with all your cigarettes and cool stares
Filled with blank glares and loaded regrets
Just like the girls today with nothing to say
No more pigtails and pony rides
They’re sophisticated
They sip on lattes
And have their eyes on a bigger prize
We shake our fists and say, "Well good golly we’re mad
That God kills children with our very own hands"
We claim innocence and not to understand
Or do we, do we?
Come on all you merry men
Rally your cry
Dance with the devil for tomorrow we’ll surely
Hey, hey blow the men down
Blow the men down
Hey
Don't walk too close
Don't breathe so soft
Don't talk so sweet
Don't sing
Don't lay oh so near
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Please let me forget
All those sweet smiles
All of the passion
All of the peace, the heat, the pain
All those blue skies
Where your words were my freedom
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Too many times
I've cared too much
I stood on the edge
And saw that you held my hand
And knowing too well
I couldn't hide from those eyes
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Hey, you say you like the way the cowboys tip their hats and say, "How’s it goin’ ma’am?"
I went down to the corner market store
Didn't really know what I was going for
Must have been a stroke of destiny
That's a break onto me
We met in the frozen food section
It was Mrs. Swanson love connection
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
You can really tell a lot about a man
By if he likes his peaches to eat fresh or canned
Does he like Tide or prefer Wisk
I never got to know a guy as good as this
You (?)
It was love at first sight, there was no denying
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
It's not real fast, but it goes real far
Like what I say, wouldn't have it any other way way way
I walk slowly towards you down the aisle
I got this future flash and it made me smile
I knew right then I had better leave or forever hold my peace
Put your grocery bag inside my cart
And I knew I'd never get ya out of my heart
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
Down at the bridge, down down down at the bridge
The sun sets across the ocean
I’m a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don’t even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
It feels like someone’s face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do
But I’ve been down so long
Ooh, it can’t be longer still
I’ve been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
I looked to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'Til I saw an angel in a bathroom who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said it’s simple, like flipping a coin
Don’t matter what side it lands on, so long as it’s someone else’s dime
But I’ve been down so long
Ooh, it can’t be longer still
We’ve been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
(Not on the recorded version)
'Cause if you're the top of the bottom
It all feels the same
We live out of fear if we're too rich or we're too poor
Guess all I can do is museter up some change
And little bit of faith
And take some dignity when I walk through this door
Well I've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And I've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near
I take a trip
Catch a train
Catch a plane
Got a ticket in my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
(Not on recorded version)
I'm just a faceless body lost in this vast and worthless sea
In a thousand people I do not know
But really they are no different from me
They all have passion
They all have fear
They all have intense confusion
And no sweet moments that are clear
They all have aspirations
High hopes and dreams
And are really that alone like me
We've been down so long
It can't be that much longer still
And we've been down for so long
That the end must be
The end must be
The end must be drawing near
