Along The Red Ledge

(words & music by john oates)

Pleasure beach
You may look but never find
That neglected place in time
Like a dream just out of reach
Pleasure beach
Not a place you left behind
Or a place you'll ever find
It's a dream just out of reach
It's a place called pleasure beach
There ain't no waves in a swimming pool
There ain't no fun til you break the rules
We're ever young but never free
I guess that's how it was meant to be
On the beach our thoughts were hot
But our hearts were cool
We fell in love
But we like to fool around with everyone we meet
It's you for you
And me for me
Pleasure beach
You make look but never find
That neglected place in time
Like a dream just out of reach
Pleasure beach
Not a place you'll ever find
It's a dream just out of reach
It's a place called pleasure beach

There was something about the way you left tonight
That really tore my heart
I remember the look in your eyes, it really ripped me apart
Oh the look
One last time
It can't be the last time
I gave so much to make you mine
How can it be
It's the second time around i've had this vision
And i don't like it, no
When it all happened before, i knew i'd never come back
All the way
Oh the look one last time
It can't be the last time
I took so much but i gave you mine
How can it be

Put on your feline finery "da' katz" are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking with a tabby, tom, and calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
Wee got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley katz, allen katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley katz, alley katz make me meow, meow, meow
Felix is a puss in boots
He really likes to scratch and bite
Sylvester is unnatural
The kitty is a catamite
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, come on, paws on the line
Alley katz, alley katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley katz, alley katz make me meow, meow, meow

One for the money
One song i'm writing for you
And if you can't take me with you girl
Take this melody for a memory
Love in the morning
Love in the late afternoon
There'll be no words when i leave you girl
Just a melody for a memory
And if you can't take me with you
Take this melody for a memory
She cried when he left her
Her eyes went black with the blue
The infrequent letters
The sooner the better
The cold distant phone calls
Will have to do
And if you can't take me with you
Take this melody for a memory
Take part of me, take part of me
Take this melody for a memory

Mighty high or low down
Change around the words and they say
Low is not the last one
Cause you know, if you know
You'd be learning from a hit lip
Success is sitting fat and limp
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural only natural
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love
Who d'ya think your heroes are?
Failures everyone
But you all love them for their innocence
When they fall when they fall
The loser's always deified
Winner only takes home the prize
But don't blame it on the system
It's only natural it's only natural
For you to blame it on yourself
Blame it on me
But don't blame it on love
