Dancing Nylon Shirt (part One)

I know it won't be easy

I've got to get you out of my mind

I don't want this way of living

The blind are leading the blind

Picking it up putting it down

I'm getting tired, too many shades of brown

If a life's worth living, it's worth living good

I'm gonna live it just the way I think I should

Oh drink a bottle of wine

Be a friend of mine

When the spirit releases the anger decreases

And primitive races can capture their places

And serve at the table and study the faces

Of the pillars of Universal wisdom

I got that body fever

You put temptation right in my face

My spirit's rising but

They want me back in my place

You gotta buy it, you gotta try it

Can't do without it and it will not be denied

(Are you saying there's nothing here for me?)

You want a god, you want a guide

Come here boy; gonna take you for a ride

Oh drink a bottle of wine

Old friend of mine

When the madness descends on the planet

That's governed by money and hunger

And hate and disaster

Misunderstanding that goes hand in hand

With our glistening prophets of doom
