Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye

If you will, devil may ride
Invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil may ride
Well, the invitation makes you feel fly
If you will, devil will ride
Well, the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try
When the inspiration's set to run dry?

Well, everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye

World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
'cause even the royal mail
Can't deliver us from what we've got into
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
You know it

Oh, so good i could just live for this lie
Oh, 'cause everybody wants to get by

It's too easy to like this living
Been taking it easy again
It's too easy to like this living

If you will, the devil will ride
But the invitation makes you feel fly
Did you ever even try
When the inspiration's set to run dry?
Did you ever even writhe
When the conversation turned to a guy?

And everybody wants a good time
Yeah, and everybody wants a good time
It's a goodbye

World going mad out there
Throw away all of your treasured possessions
Not even the royal mail
Can deliver us from what we've got into
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye
Guess it's bye-bye, baby bye-bye

Devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride
If you will, devil will ride
(repeat to end)

We came, we came, we came again
To stem the tide and point the blame
Came back from more
Came back to see what you had in store
Everyone join the line, everyone
Yeah

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down

So you wanna make catastrophe?
Won't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high

The same, the same, the same again
To steal the time and haunt the graves
Just because it's there
Don't mean you see it anywhere
Maybe it's a trick of the light
Maybe, yeah

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down

So you wanna make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody come alive

Yeah
So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down

So you wanna make catastrophe?
Don't you send it right over to me
I got some time
Everybody running high

So you wanna spin the world around?
So you wanna spin the world around?
And anybody else, cut 'em down

So you say we haven't turned around?
So you say we haven't turned around?
Just everybody else is going wrong
Going wrong

Rosalita's crawling round the knees
Rest my head, she's calling to me
In my dreams she's there for me
But open my eyes to see you there
I am falling

Sweetness, since you left me
It's been your flag i'm flying
But i'm sick of crying
Why did you choose to deceive me?
Was your plan just to kiss, fuck and leave me?
So, considerately, just please talk to me
I won't portray myself so pitifully
My little conceit, you see
Is that i will never need you more than now

Rosalita's walking out on me
Close the door, she's stalling, i see
She's so sweet, but not for me
But as we sit around and laugh about
She's trying to call me

Darling, though you hurt me
It's not from my lack of trying
You've got a fear of flying high
You have lost your patience
I see myself sink in your estimations
Forget the salutations
Just please study these tears
Your bitter words they just confirm my fears
Gonna let it fuck up all the years
Yet i will not need you more than now

Beautiful bitch, i could consider this a simple glitch
You're just a hopeless stitch in time
But then for your crimes
Please find yourself a little guilty with these lines
Got your conscience on my mind
Because i could not need you more
Oh, i could not need you more
Yeah, i could not need you more than now
Could not need you more than now

If i was unordinately different to what you say
I'd lie, oh i'd lie
If you could release me now
You know that i won't hesitate
To lie, i would lie

Bring it on, make it right
Bring it on into the light
Pick me up satellite
If it's wrong, make it right

Indecipherable gibberish - kind of guitar

If i lied and told you they were difficult or hard to take
I'd lie, i'd still lie
If you try to please me now
You know that i won't remonstrate
But lie i would lie

Bring it on, make it right
Bring it on, into the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right

We like quiet nights on the island
??read by patterned stars round our head
We can reach new heights in this island
We're dragged slowly to our ?feet?

Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, into the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right

Bring it on, make it right
Bring it out, into the light
Pick me up, satellite
If it's wrong, make it right

If i was inordinately different

California got her right
You will have to wait
Calling from the golden gate

Sentimental sparrows
Keeping me awake
Funny how the morning's late
Funny how the morning's late

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that i'd get stopped
But i could never see myself
In anybody else's arms
In anybody else's arms

Come around with your heavenly smile
Come around and drag me out again
After a while we can sit and watch them all rush by
Come around and drag me out again
Come around and drag me out again

Always wanted to leave
Always felt that i'd get stopped
But i could never see myself
No i could never see myself
With anybody else

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

California's angel
It's more than i can stand
Calling down the sunset's pain
Sentimental star unsolved
As soon as we wake
Funny in the morning state
Funny in this morning state

If you want a piece of my life
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna kiss then do it fast
Get in line, baby get in line
If you wanna practice, spill the past
Get in line, baby get in line
I will smile and chuckle till the last
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line
Get in line, baby get in line

<intro>

You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the tv screen
It seems to me, you'd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me
Plain to see that i'll give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, there's nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice

Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old son house in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But i've got yours, and you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi

<instrumental>

La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, 'cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the tv screen
Seems to me, you'd try anything twice
You'd try anything twice
Well let me hear you now..

Chasing after stories that have already been told,
Couldn't i look old sunhouse in the eyes,
I know where you carry such a fragile load,
And i've got yours, you've got mine
It's a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.
