Who's To B

Everybody called the lady easy
For the way the lady was to please
Everybody told her she was crazy
Lovin' all that love away for free

People hate to see you make it easy
They'll never understand
Some take life for granted
'cause it seems to take so long
Easy takes it any way she can

Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let it go as easy as you can
It's the sweetest and the saddest place
A body's ever been
Feelin' easy come and go again

Instrumental break, and in the background:
.... easy
.... to please
.... she was crazy
.... and free

So let's take our time and make it easy
Bring that bottle from the shelf
Everybody's laughin' when there's money, love and friends
When they're gone the jokes are on yourself

Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Let her down as easy as you can
It's the sweetest and the saddest place
A body's ever been
Feelin' easy come and go again

Chorus:
Easy, come on, take it easy
Come on, here we go again
Bring us down a bottle from the shelf
'cause it's easy come to anyone with money, love and friends
When they're gone the jokes are on yourself

It started when the neighbors saw my fancy new t.v
That opens up the gate outside my home
And let's me let in anyone i really wanna see
And keep out all them other dudes i don't
Then one by one they started comin' over to perform
And someone played "temptation" on kazoo
Nellie got as naked as the day that she was born
And it sure was all over baby blue

Chorus:
I've got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field
And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence
But the biggest show in town is in my driveway
And we ain't had a good night sleepin' since

Orville baker's showin' us the fastest draw in town
Cora lee's clackin' on her spoons
Ol' jesse's trick dog sure does look dead lyin' on the ground
And jesse's wife is a-howlin' at the moon
Charly's ugly daughter sure can tap dance
Mable thatcher's walkin' on her hands
And just as i was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack
Ol' lulla bell amazed us with her fans

Chorus:
I've got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field
And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence
But the biggest show in town is in my driveway
And we ain't had a good night sleepin' since

Froney's got an act that's hard to follow
Norman plays a nimble tamborine
You should see what sara lee can swallow
And ol' billy does a wicked "mr. clean"
Good lord, if i'd've known this future when i started
Believe you me, i'd never change a thing
I got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom
And a world full of whackos in the wings

Get 'em burt !

Chorus:
I've got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field
And miles and miles and miles of barbed-wire fence
But the biggest show in town is in my driveway
And we ain't had a good night's sleepin' since

Chorus:
Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed
Leavin' is easy; lord, losin's the same
Life is a promise nobody keeps
Lay yourself down girl; rock me to sleep

We were the wild ones, proud in our prime
Me and the stallion, lord, one of a kind
See how we run, lord, see how we fall
Ridin' for moonlight, we done it all

Well, the daylight was dying, rooks in the wind
She stood before me, stripped to the skin
Next to my stallion, she purely shown
Gliding to moonlight, starlight and stone

The moonlight is silver, starlight is cold
Wakin' to laughter, shakin' my soul
She was runnin' my stallion, naked and free
Ridin' for moonlight, gone like a dream

Chorus:
Stay if you want to, don't be ashamed
Leavin' is easy; lord, losin's the same
Life is a promise nobody keeps
Lay yourself down girl; rock me to sleep

Silver was a rounder with a wicked reputation
Music was his magic and his madness rolled in one
It's said he charmed the fairest hearts of this world's fairest maidens

Quick as silver mercury and slippery as a song

Winding like a river through a thirsty world of strangers
Carving out a legend in a dream-forsaken land
Silver took his pleasures just as freely as he gave them
'cause hungry eyes weren't quick enough for silver's flashing hands

Then once upon escaping from the world of silk and shadows
Sudden growin' sicker of the secrets and the shame
He stumbled onto something real that beckoned like a candle
And never lookin' backwards, he surrendered to the flame

Chorus:
Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver moved instinctively within her soft defenses
Soon unfolding mysteries he'd never seen before
And wakening an ancient need, she slipped inside his senses
And silver took it easy as the closing of a door

Then soon he touched the secret fears she'd hidden with her sorrows
Darker than her raven hair and deeper than her eyes
And dared to try to lead her to the sunlight from her shadows
Following the line between her laughter and her lies

But silver left his magic with the legend he'd abandoned
Love had stripped him naked of illusion and it's charms
Then one long night her changing mind took kindly to a stranger
And morning found her moving in the golden stranger's arms

Chorus:
Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sacred as the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul

Silver stared in silence at the tangled scene before him
Time was burning frozen in the oceans of his eyes
And sadly turning backwards to the world that he'd forsaken
He donned the shining mantle of deception and disguise

Slowly, with the patience born of silent desperation
Silver worked his way into the darkness of her mind
Weaving through her conscience like a chance she might have taken
Sadder than the shadows of the love she'll never find

And silver's spell was stronger than the softly smiling stranger
Whose star was burning smaller in the naked light of day
And silver took her hand again, a wiser man, but sadder
Ready for the stranger who would steal her love away

Chorus:
Because hunger, is the surface, of a darkened pool of sadness
Silver pale reflection of a deeper need below
Mystery and magic are the holy forms of madness
Sworn to free the ecstasy that slumbers in your soul
