How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Udayana]

Wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Just notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well, you'll remember that you're the one
That called on them to call on me to get you your favors done
And after every plan had failed and there was nothing more to tell
And you know that we shall meet again if your memory serves you well

Wheel's on fire
Rolling down the road
Just notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode

[Nearly Sane]

In these days of confusion
You've turned angry and cold
You say it's an illusion
There's no fire in your soul

Say you don't love me
Say you don't care
But don't leave me standing here
Your heart's like a wheel

[Robbie]

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy

Jesus, gonna make up/out siviers
Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' bed

Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Oh meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord
Oh please meet me with another pair

[Udayana]

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
...

[Nearly Sane]

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome Pine
In the pale moonshine our hearts entwine
Where you carved your name and I carved mine

Oh, you - like the mountains are blue
Like the pine - I am lonesome for you
In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
On the trail of the lonesome Pine

On a mountain in Virginia stands a lonesome Pine
Just below is the little cabin home of a little girl of mine
Her name is June and very, very soon shell belong to me
For I know shes waiting there for me neath that lone Pine tree

[Aruntraveller]

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane?
What's her name Virginia Plain

[Nearly Sane]

I left my home in Monterey,
Just another no prospects man,
Who'd rather work in the foundries,
Than put fishes in a can,
I'm twenty five but I have not traveled far,
And I spend all my money on this misbegotten car,

And I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind,
And the Studebaker keeps on breakin' down again,
This Studebaker keeps on breakin' down again,

[Robbie]

Riding down the street
And I see a pretty girl
She wants me, I want her
I will take her to my world

I'm in my car
I'm stunting in my car
You know I'm in my car
I'm stunting in my car
My car

[Nearly Sane]

Cars
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live

In cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days

In cars
Here in my car
The image breaks down
Will you visit me please
If I open my door

[Robbie]

While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise

Young shawty I'm the pimp, so you know my game cold
Brush all my teeth cause my whole grill gold
Step out my house, pink gators on my toes
Tryna hit tha club before they all close
Hop in the Lac, Fleetwood eight four
Twenty inch G's with tha triple gold spokes
Creep in the door with my pockets on swole
Limp across tha flo like both of my legs broke
Slide to tha bar to get me somn cold
Got a glass of Thunderbird cause I can't stay in mode
Put down my glass and hit tha dance flo
Don't get mad at me boy what you cuffin' my hands for
If I want it I'ma get it ya know how my game go
? I'm pullin ya main woe
I'm chargin' for this game, I'm givin' you lames yos
Gotta line these girls up in a soul train row

[Nearly Sane]

He got up every morning
While I was still asleep
And I remember the sound of him shuffling around
Right before the crack of dawn
Is when I heard him turn the motor on
But when I got up they were gone
Down the road in the rain and snow
The man and his machine would go
Oh, the secrets that old car would know
Sometimes I hear him sayin'

Don't you give me no Buick
Son, you must take my word
If there's a God in heaven
He's got a Silver Thunderbird
You can keep your Eldorados
And the foreign car's absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a Silver Thunderbird

[Aruntraveller]

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing
I've got nothing to do but watch the passers-by
Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing
And they don't see it showing, why do I?

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

[Robbie]

Wake up, you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window, what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and papas insane?

[Nearly Sane]

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo
Pretty flamingo

[Udayana]

Well she's walking, through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams
And-a, fairytales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind

[Nearly Sane]

Snowdrops and daffodils
butterflies and bees
sailboats and fishermen
things of the sea
wishing-wells
wedding bells
early morning dew
all kinds of everything remind me of you

[Aruntraveller]

Nearly puked there NS - here's an antidote:

You look different every time you come
From the foam-crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart, when you're drunk you're terrific when you're drunk
I like you mostly late at night you're quite alright

[Nearly Sane]

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's garden in the shade

[Robbie]

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

[Nearly Sane]

So long boys you can take my place got my papers I got my pay So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to yellow river

Put my guns down the war is won
Put my bags as the time has come
I'm going back to the place that I love yellow river

Yellow river yellow river is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow river yellow river is in my blood it's the place I love
Get no time for explanation got no time to loose
Tomorrow night should find me


Sleeping underneath the moon at yellow river

[Robbie]

We got an inner-tube,
We got a trailer hitch.
We're near the river and far from rich.

But we have got each other and gas in the tank,
We're laughing all the way to the river bank.
Still can you imagine if we ever struck it,
I'd go shoot tequila take a lime and suck it.
And we'd all tell our bosses they can do the same
We'll find a big cruise ship and buy the whole dang thing.
We'd sail around the world and go to shore in a dinghy
But 'til that dream comes go and grab your bikini, 'cause

We got an inner-tube,
We got a trailer hitch.
We're near the river and far from rich.

[Nearly Sane]

Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushin' broom buys a
Eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

Third boxcar midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found, short but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road

[Robbie]

The early light is breaking
The morning sun is waiting in the sky
And I think I'm gonna break away
And follow where the birds of freedom fly
I need to give, I need to live
For the world is slowly turning
And the lights of love are burning in my eyes
Caravans, oh my soul is on the run
Overland, I am flying
Caravans moving out into the sun
Oh I don't know where I'm going
But I'm going

[Nearly Sane]

Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) it's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take the caravan to the mother land
One by one we gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied (stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
Well join together with hearts of gold

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born is so neglected and torn... torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love(stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love

[Robbie]

Night and stars above that shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan
Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
The memory of our caravan
This is so exciting
You are so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms
Of you beside me here beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan
