I'm walking like a bum I can't go straight I'm full of rum trying to resist to coldness, I'm homeless Staggering into town harassing people cause I'm down trying to resist to madness, I'm hopeless Does anybody know where she is? Does anybody know where she lives? I'm thirsty again Roaming like a dumb My mouth is dry when will she come? Waiting for an aid from my personal barmaid I'm the drunkard on the run Pour Bacardi in my rum Waiting for an aid from my personal barmaid Does anybody know Does anybody know where she is Cause I need her Yes I need her now

You say I shouldn't watch television But I don't agree with you You say it's not a solution But what else can I do You know i feel fine in my chair I'm still and I stare I'm like a paper in a windy street Or like a lizard under the heat And you say I should stand up But you talk, you can walk away Leave me please leave me alone I'm happy I feel like a stone Thinkin' of Bridgewater Housatonic river Will I go there and get her Or will I stay and lose her Or will I stay a loser

I met her at the grocery store the girl that lives next door she had lips that looked so sweet the kind that i’d love to meet I saw her glance at me with a little mistery I think im gonna lose control cause there's a fire in my soul I wish so hard we could talk for a while I wish so hard that she gave me a smile She’s just a dream, that I can’t reach I wish so hard I saw her walking in a sensual way but there was nothing I could say because i’m shy, because i’m weak There was no word that I could speak “and a voice said “ come on come on

Eldorado 03:24
Sometimes I feel good, sometimes I’m bad My heart is lonely, you make me mad You are my hope, you are my new frontier I gotta run away from here Middle Eastern girl, you are so still Mysterious woman, you make me thrill What are you doing, what do you feel? I’m on the way, tell me your will It’s a long road, and I’m running wild It’s a long ride, to come at your side It’s a long road, a hard way to go It’s a long ride, you are my Eldorado… Cheyenne! You are my glory, you are my gold Will you remember the words I told I’m not in hurry , but you know the drill I’m on the way, tell me your will Middle Eastern girl, you are so still Mysterious woman, you make me thrill What are you doing, what do you feel? Show me your windmill

I met her at the butcher’s On a lovely sunny day I told her : Hello Misses Do you wanna go my way ? She told : Mister Jonhson Why are you so good to me? I answered : My dear lady I just wanna set you free Mmmmmm I took her in my Cadillac I took her on my Cadillac In longhorn city with my girl we ride She is naked and she runs me wild In Longhorn city with my girl I’m feeling glad

I can't wait that the cold days die I can't stand the nights passing by Something strong's pushing me to fly Far away from here Well I'm here standing on my own Motionless, like a heavy stone What is life when the sun is gone ? Far away from me There are so many things that I'd like to do So many words I've got for you And so many smiles so many songs I wanna sing to you /Telling I love you If you say that it's time to meet We could walk all along the streets When I'll come to this northern land Will you take my hand? I won't hide anything from you And I know you are also true So let us see what the night will be I hope you'll agree

When I was sad and on my own there was no place like granny's home She met me, with a little smile On a chair in the kitchen When she cooks the sunday chicken I'd stay, for a little while (She said) No one can survive We have to pass away And she closed her eyes With a little smile Can anybody help me? I’m digging a grave for granny Can anybody help me? I'm digging a grave for granny A housecoat with some flower prints And a tiny smell of mint My granny, that's how she was She said : " grandson, life is rough But I know you are tough enough Remember, to lead a life of love" But her time had come And last night she's gone She closed her eyes With a little smile

Sister Sue 03:25
When you wake up early in the morning Don’t you have that strange little feeling Something’s growing fast and warm inside of you Since we met on that sunday morning I can feel your heart that is bleeding Will you throw your bulky rosary away Yeah yeah yeah Jesus he loves you Yeah yeah yeah Jesus he loves you Less than I do Oh Sister Sue, I love you, let us live together Oh Sister Sue, it will be fun my lovely nun I can see your lips / are on fire And your eyes betray your desire Let me free you from your bloody nunnery What will you do, my pretty nun You'd better ru-un Why are you waiting A new life of fun Is coming around

Paradise 04:05
Somewhere in the desert There’s a place you need to know, my friend There’s a solitary man In the middle of waterfalls There’s an eagle in a tree Staring quietly down to me And a solitary rock With a candle on it, wonderful I’d like to take you there (Oh my love) you won’t believe me This is a paradise It’s such a mistery An answer maybe It’s unbelievable This is a paradise There’s a solitary man In the middle of waterfalls And a solitary rock Surrounded by fireballs

You are there, a jewel that I would like to touch A face, I’m staring so much Your eyes are hazy Can I come within? There’s a fire, chasing the cold I’ll cherish all the wonders you hold I wanna be lazy On your white coffee skin I wanna taste the forbidden fruit It’s a desire that I just can’t mute I wanna dive in the land of lutes Open your gate Show me the route It’s a promise, I’ll love till you the morning light I won’t let you sleep tonight Don’t think I’m crazy Can I come within? I’m hanging on the gloss of your lips Will you close your eyes when I’ll kiss? I wanna be lazy On your white coffee skin
