Who do you think you are looking at me like that Put your face on someone else's head Where do you think you're at hanging around my leg Put yourself in someone else's bed Whiskey women, American lay Whiskey women, American way What do you want from me clutchin' at my blue jeans You don't know where those old jeans have been Why do you look so hurt when I tell you where to go You've been there before from what I've seen Whiskey women, American lay Whiskey women, American way Who do you think you are looking at me like that Put your face on someone else's head Where do you think you're at hanging around my neck Put yourself in someone else's bed Whiskey women, American lay Whiskey women, American way.

The willow in the wind is gently weeping No city lights tonight for she is sleeping But in a little while she will awake and gently smile My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning. Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning She has so much to give but so little time to live My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning. As I look down the streets are slowly forming And the ladies of the night have stopped performing And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning And soft warm hands behind that give no warning Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning I have so much to say but so little time to stay With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning

I was born on the wrong side of the river Where the sun never shone on my brass Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming to pass I was waving the flag of indifference Never knowing the real reason why Casting doubt on my uncertain future It was time for a sudden goodbye I was born on the wrong side of the river Where the sun never shone on my breast Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming too fast

I followed the night till the morning sunlight And I thought of the changing times And I followed the child with the evergreen smile And the blue broken tears start to cry Blue broken tears hide away the years Misty highway seems colder today And I saw a Waterlow where the evergreen grows And the wise man knows why he crys And I heard a child call 'You're away from us all' And the blue broken tears start to rise Blue broken tears ain't nobody here Lost in the sun my only young one Blue broken tears our love disappears The evergreen dies drowned in my eyes

We were so close there was no room We bled inside each other's wounds We all caught the same disease We all sang our songs of peace Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Oh raise the candles high 'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light Oh raise them high again 'cos if you do we can stand dry against the rain Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown We were so close there was no room We bled inside each other's wounds We all caught the same disease We all sang our songs of peace Some came to sing some came to pray Some came to keep the night away Oh raise the candles high 'cos if you don't we can't stand black against the light Oh raise them high again 'cos if you do we can stand dry against the rain Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown Lay down, lay down, let it all down Let your white birds face smile up at the ones who stand and frown

You can call on me whenever you need me Hanging around never did any good And I want you to know the way that I feel Is good inside Oh oh oh oh oh It must be love I can see the garden of light all around me Cursin' in songs from those evergreen trees (?) And no one can say I'm a natural fool For walkin' this way Oh oh oh oh oh It must be love Love love love Love love love Love love love It must be love When you smile at me I can see all the stars at night Succulent moonlight is stroking your hair And I want you to know the way that I feel Is good inside Oh oh oh oh oh It must be love Love love love Love love love Love love love It must be love Love love love Love love love Love love love It must be love (That one's for you, Brian)

The original mixed-up kid Sleeps with the ladies all night Home in the morning light To nothin' Climbs in to an empty bed Pillows around his head Hide the tears he sheds For no one And Byron said Happiness is born its twin In those who share, for they will always win But what about the man who tries so hard But his heart is locked within The original mixed-up kid Must have been at the end of the line When they gave out the forms to sign For someone And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know For in a crowded street he can see the sleet When the other men just see the snow The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound (?) For you turned him upside down for nothin'

Maybe I'm just a loser Maybe it's because my boots ain't as clean as they could be Came to town with an even chance I'm feeling down the people I meet ain't fair to me Gave it a try but now I'm ready to cry And run back to the place where I was raised Maybe I'm just unfortunate Maybe I'm alone in thinking that I've got a lot to say Too far in to be anywhere Lost in the place where nobody seems to know the way Gave it a try but now I'm ready to cry And run back to the place where I was raised Home is where I wanna be Home is where you'll always see Friendly faces that'll never turn you down Or say goodbye Maybe I'm just a loser Maybe it's because my boots ain't as clean as they could be Came to town with an even chance I'm feeling down the people I meet ain't fair to me Gave it a try but now I'm ready to cry And run back to the place where I was raised Home is where I wanna be Home is where you'll always see Friendly faces that'll never turn you down Or say goodbye
