Well I know |
|
I ain't spoken of love in |
|
a coon's age. |
|
But I can't help it now. |
|
Just helping myself to |
|
whatever I can. |
|
I chose |
|
the softest |
|
kind of dove |
|
to chase around, |
|
to place bound and stout |
|
in a pose |
|
of arrogance, and loneliness, |
|
of cleanliness. |
|
Silence all the clocks tonight. |
|
It's show time, with drinks to spill. |
|
Hear my mouth, I've got the sounds |
|
to send you back home with peace of mind. |
|
Well I pace myself |
|
when marching |
|
because I tangle up |
|
my legs if I don't |
|
slow down, |
|
and look at my woman; |
|
remember that everything is round, |
|
complete, or completing. |
|
Silence all the clocks tonight. |
|
It's show time, with drinks to spill. |
|
Hear my mouth, I've got the sounds |
|
to send you back home with peace of mind |
