Planet Earth Song

VERSE

Down Silver Avenue in rain and mist

You're lookin' for Easy Street which don't exist

And count the years, yes, and count the years

You smash the mirrored walls and you cut your fist

You can't control yourself, you can't resist

And shed a tear, oh, yes, and shed a tear

CHORUS #1

Gotta love to live

Gotta wild, old, rambling road, boy

VERSE

You've seen the queen of hearts get torn in half

Beneath the chandelier, the golden calf

And diamond rings, yes, yes, yes and diamond rings

You've seen them factories and railroad yards

And silver moonlit walls with windows barred

And all these thing, oh, yes, and all these things

CHORUS #2

Gotta love to live

Gotta long, old, winding road, boy

(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)

VERSE

And back in Baltimore the morning came

Her face was paradise--you hear her name

Can't break her spell, oh, no, you can't break her spell

She's bound for distant lands and she won't be back

Her voice was soft and sweet, her skin so black

And fare you well, oh, say well, well, well and fare you well

CHORUS #3

Gotta love to live

Gotta lost, old, lonesome road, boy
