Our love is alive, and so we begin
Foolishly laying our hearts on the table
Stumblin' in
Our love is a flame, burning within
Now and then firelight will catch us
Stumblin' in
I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last?
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that has no past
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (ooh)
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time to be in love
A bad time to be in love
I wanna see it painted
Painted black
Black as night
Black as coal
I wanna see the sun
Blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted
Painted black, yeah
Isn't it a pity
Now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Sweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice
I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
And the banjo and me, we got a feel for singing
Till armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns
When the man comes around
Well, I started out
Down a dirty road
Started out
All alone
And the sun went down
As I crossed the hill
And the town lit up
The world got still
I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing
I favor alternate history. Currently it’s Bombs Away! by Harry Turtledove, the first of a trilogy set during the Korean War. The US uses nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula, and the Soviets retaliate in Europe.
Sun is comin' and it's getting warmer
Tell me spring is just around the corner
I'm sitting watchin' all of the flowers
Birds are singin' getting louder and louder
And here I am missin' you
Here I go I'm lovin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm wantin' you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm needing you
Run run run run runnin'
Here I go I'm loving you
Run run run run runnin'
Run run run run runaway
Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
Do you remember, 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember, how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah
Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing
With both hands holdin' my ding-a-ling-a-ling
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well, good God almighty which way do I steer
For my
Cheeseburger in paradise
And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
No, but not with kicks, you just need help, girl
"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America
Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat
They never said your name, but I knew just who they meant
Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you about the Texas
I'll tell you about the Texas Radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you about the maiden with wrought iron soul
Report to the dance floor honey
You n your girls got moves
Look at u u got back groove
N I could do a little 1 step 2
I don't stand at the bar I pass through
You've heard I'm a star its true
I've bin doin it since electric boogalooed
Maximum vibes I wanna get too
