|
(Joan Baez) |
|
You've got eyes like Jesus |
|
But you speak with a viper's tongue |
|
We were just sitting around on earth |
|
Where the hell did you come from? |
|
With your lady dressed in deerskin |
|
And an amazing way about her |
|
When are you going to realize |
|
That you just can't live without her? |
|
Take it easy |
|
Take it light |
|
But take it |
|
Your lady gets her power |
|
From the goddess and the stars |
|
You get yours from the trees and the brooks |
|
And a little from life on Mars |
|
And I've known you for a good long while |
|
And would you kindly tell me, mister |
|
How in the name of the Father and the Son |
|
Did I come to be your sister? |
|
Take it easy |
|
Take it light |
|
But take it |
|
You've done dirt to lifelong friends |
|
With little or no excuses |
|
Who endowed you with the crown |
|
To hand out these abuses? |
|
Your lady knows about these things |
|
But they don't put her under |
|
Me, I know about them, too |
|
And I react like thunder |
|
Take it easy |
|
Take it light |
|
But take it |
|
I know you are surrounded |
|
By parasites and sychophants |
|
When I come to see you |
|
I dose up on coagulants |
|
Because when you hurl that bowie knife |
|
It's going to be when my back is turned |
|
Doing some little deed for you |
|
And baby, will I get burned |
|
Take it easy |
|
Take it light |
|
But take it |
|
So little brother when you come |
|
To knock on my door |
|
I don't want to bring you down |
|
But I just went through the floor |
|
My love for you extends through life |
|
And I don't want to waste it |
|
But honey, what you've been dishing out |
|
You'd never want to taste it |
|
And if I had the nerve |
|
To either risk it or to break it |
|
I'd put our friendship on the line |
|
And show you how to take it |
|
Take it easy |
|
Take it light |
|
But take it |
