I want to live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Pa send me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see, your baby loves to dance
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
I think I'd like to go back home
And take it easy
There's a woman that I'd like to get to know
Livin' there
Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day to day runnin' around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Everybody, everybody knows (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Everybody knows, alright now
Every time I think about back home
It's cool and breezy
I wish that I could be there right now
Just passin' time
Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here
I gotta get away
From this day to day runnin' around
Everybody knows this is nowhere
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Everybody knows (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Everybody knows
Everybody knows (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
Everybody knows, everybody knows, oh yeah
Everybody knows, everybody knows (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Everybody knows, everybody knows (la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
And take it easy
There's a woman that I'd like to get to know
Livin' there
Everybody seems to wonder
What it's like down here

Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
It's hard enough losin'
The paper illusion
You've hidden inside,
Without the confusion
Of findin' you're usin'
The crutch of the lie
To shelter your pride when you cry.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
Now you're movin' too slow
And wherever you go
There's another beside.
It's so hard to say no
To yourself and it shows
That you're losing inside,
When you step on your pride and you cry.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
How the hours will bend
Through the time that you spend
Till you turn to your eyes,
And you see your best friend
Looking over the end
And you turn to see why,
And he looks in your eyes and he cries.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.
It won't be long, it won't be long.
It's hard enough losin'
The paper illusion
You've hidden inside,
Without the confusion
Of findin' you're usin'

To shelter your pride when you cry.
Round and round and round we spin,
To weave a wall to hem us in,
It won't be long, it won't be long
How slow and slow and slow it goes,
To mend the tear that always shows.

Down By The River
Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride, yeah
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, ooh
Shot her dead, ooh
You take my hand, I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
It's impossible to make it today, yeah
Ooh, yeah
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away, yeah
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead, dead, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh shot her dead
Shot her dead
Be on my side, I'll be on your side
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone

The Losing End (When You're On)
I went into town to see you
Yesterday
But you were not home.
So I talked to some old friends
For a while
Before I wandered off alone.
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.
Well, I miss you more than ever,
Since you've gone
I can hardly maintain.
Things are different round here
Every night,
My tears fall down like rain.
It's so hard for me now
But I'll make it somehow,
Though I know I'll never be the same.
Won't you ever change your ways,
It's so hard to make love pay
When you're on the losing end,
And I feel that way again.

Running Dry (Requiem For The Rockets)
[ Featuring Neil Young, Crazy Horse ]
(Nice guy)
Oh, please help me, oh, please help me
I'm livin' by myself
I need someone to comfort me
I need someone to tell
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I've shamed myself with lies
But soon these things are overcome
And can't be recognized
I left my love with ribbons on
And water in her eyes
I took from her the love I'd won
And turned it to the sky
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I've shamed myself with lies
My cruelty has punctured me
And now I'm runnin' dry
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I've shamed myself with lies
But soon these things are overcome
And can't be recognized
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I've shamed myself with lies
But soon these things are overcome
And can't be recognized

Cowgirl In The Sand
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello, ruby in the dust (hello, ruby in the dust)
Has your band begun to rust?
After all the sin we've had
I was hopin' that we'd turn bad
Old enough now, to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello, woman of my dreams (hello, woman of my dreams)
Is this not the way it seems?
Purple words on a gray background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello, ruby in the dust (hello, ruby in the dust)
Has your band begun to rust?
After all the sin we've had
I was hopin' that we'd turn bad
Old enough now, to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
Hello, woman of my dreams (hello, woman of my dreams)
Is this not the way it seems?
Purple words on a gray background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
