A
Horse With No Name
On the first part of the
journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and
rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly
with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground
was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a
horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember
your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to
give you no pain
La la la-a la la la ....
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river
that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the
desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember
your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to
give you no pain
La la la la-a la la la ....
After nine days I let the horse
run free
'Cause the desert had turned to
sea
There were plants and birds and
rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its
life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made
of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the
desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember
your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to
give you no pain
La la la la-a la la la ....

Ventura
Highway
Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road
Tell me, how long you gonna stay
here, Joe?
Some people say this town don't
look good in snow
You don't care, I know
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than
moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin'
through your hair
And the days surround your
daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in
the air
Doo-doo doo doot ...
Wishin' on a falling star
Waitin' for the early train
Sorry boy, but I've been hit by
purple rain
Aw, come on, Joe, you can always
change your name
Thanks a lot, son, just the same
Ventura Highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger than
moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin'
through your hair
And the days surround your
daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air, in
the air
Doo-doo doo doot ...

Don't
Cross The River
There's a little girl out lyin'
on her own
She's got a broken heart
She's not the kind to take you
down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(Ah--) And if she's comin' she's
showed no mark
She's heard no whistle blowin'
from the dark
She feels like leavin' and she
don't know why
Without no bridges she's trapped,
so I sigh
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the
other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that
you're leaving
You'll lose yourself and then
sometime
Maybe even save yourself some
grievin'
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the
other side
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the
other side
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide
Don't cross the river if you can't
swim the tide ...

Muskrat
Love
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat
land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled
and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on
cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey,
would you please be my
missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything
goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to
giggle
And they whirled and they twirled
and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...

Tin
Man
(Bunnel)
Sometimes
late
When things are real
And the people share the gift of
gab
Between themselves
Some are quick
To take the bait
And the catch the perfect prize
That waits among the shells
But Oz never did give nothing to
the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already
have
And Cause never was the reason for
the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please
Believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round,
round, round, round
Smoke glass stain'd bright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles
Oz never did give nothing to the
Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already
have
And Cause never was the reason for
the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please
Believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round,
round, round, round
Smoke glass stain'd bright colors
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsud green like bubbles
No, Oz never did give nothing to
the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already
have
And Cause never was the reason for
the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
So please believe in me
