She got them eagle feathers and cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude
She never said she would stay by my side
She only wanted to be there for the ride
A bottle of wine, a couple of lines and she was there for the night
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no this ain't no place for me"
Angel of mercy, angel of greed
Never stop till she get what she need
She dance like Salome and curses with a Matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me
You got to move if you want to be free
Like the wind I'm just blowing anywhere I please
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Lady, you're no lady, you're my woman
Got the love I need, you are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Tried to change her ways
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
Lady, you're no lady, you're my woman
Got the love I need, you are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
'Cause she say, "Oh no, this ain't no place for me"
You might as well set me free

I was dreaming of the past
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day
I was hungry, felling low
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end
The road is long without friend
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
Just a young man looking homeward
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water the sun is shining
But will it ever, will it ever be the same
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun
But like a blindman I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where it's coming from
Be my friend, be my brother
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul
I need somebody, I need someone
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman I can feel the heat of the sun
But like a blindman I don't know, I don't know, I don't know where it's coming from

I've been looking for shelter from the pouring rain
Walking in circles coming back again
Looking out of your window waiting for a while
May not be the sweetest woman but I love the way you smile
Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door locked any time?
Well you can shake it, fake it
Make it feel so fine
And you can always smell the roses
But you know you got to draw the line
Black satin or lace, a painted face
I'll get my loving, I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want you can do it with me
So follow me down, follow me down
Down to Goldie's place
I'll see you there
In the perfume garden, flowers on the wall
Sweet smell of surrender and you can try it all
You don't ask no questions, you won't get no lies
You can get what you want for your pleasure and you can try it on for size
Looks like I been this way before
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door locked any time?
Well you can shake it, fake it
Make it feel so fine
And you can always smell the roses
But you know you got to draw the line
Black satin or lace, a painted face
I'll get my loving, I'll leave no trace
You can get your fun but it don't come free
If you want you can do it with me
If you want you can do it with me
If you want you can do it with me
So follow me down, follow me down
Down to Goldie's place
I said
So follow me down, follow me down
Down to Goldie's place
I'll see you there
So follow me down, follow me down
Down to Goldie's place

In the shadows of the dark night
You need a woman by your side
She'll help you make it in the cold light
And keep you warm and satisfied
If you want some more loving
Drive you out of your mind
Give a little sweetness and sugar
Just make it sure she understands
White skin women keep me howling for more
Brown skin honey I love
Got a whitesnake mama
You want to shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come and let it crawl on you
Just enough to see you through
You want to find a little angel
Sweet surrender in her eyes
Broke down heart through morning
To the moon is on the rise
Night time is the right time
For rolling on the silent gloves
Day time, night time, any time is the right time
Stealing round and making some love
White skin women keep me howling for more
Brown skin honey I love
Got a whitesnake mama
You want to shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come and let it crawl on you
Just enough to see you through
Listen
Back door man ain't done nothing
but creep around the door
When you see his woman weeping
You know the snake is there for more
Day time, night time is the right time
For rolling on the silent gloves
Night time is the right time
Make it sure you're the only one
White skin women keep me howling for more
Brown skin honey I love
Got a whitesnake mama
You want to shake it mama
Got a whitesnake mama
Come and let it crawl on you
And you, and you
Got a whitesnake mama

All of my life I been searching, walking on easy ground
The son of my father, never being pushed around
I've got the lord in my shadow, the devil in my blood
If you fool me, baby, I'm going to get you like a good man should
Like a gypsy, a traveller I was born
A vagabond without virtue, I was blessed before the dawn
I greet the morning with my back against the sun
You'll never see me, baby, 'cause I'm always on the run
I got time on my side, I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side, Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side, lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down before I get much older
Born on the dark side, where the sun man never shone
I never had nobody to cry when I was gone
I'm always in the moonwalk, I got the drifter in my blood
If you fool me, baby, I'm going to get you like a good man should
I got time on my side, I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side, Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side, lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down before I get much older
Time on my side, I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side, Sister Bluebird told me
Time on my side, lean upon my shoulder
I'm bound to settle down before I get much older
Time on my side, I don't need, I don't need nobody
Time on my side, I got the lord, the lord in my shadow
Time on my side, lean upon my shoulder
Time on my side, I don't need no one
Time on my side, I got the devil, the devil in my blood
Time on my side, I don't need it any more

You changed your reason
With the wave of your hand
Fill me with wonder like a child
'Cause you'll never understand
It's a sin not to say when it's over
It's a crime to deny when it's gone
'Cause you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin if you carry it on
If you want to make love, you whisper my name
I say I never want to use you for your love
But you tail me and you make it all the same
It's a sin not to say when it's over
It's a crime to deny when it's gone
'Cause you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin if you carry it on
'Cause I'm a man
A peaceful loving man
And I'm so tired to hold it inside
When I feel, I'm going to hide
Peace loving man
Peace loving man
Peace loving man
It's a sin not to say when it's over
It's a crime to deny when it's gone
'Cause you're fooling yourself, and nobody else
It's a sin if you carry it on
'Cause I'm a man
Oh, baby, I'm a man
Peace loving man
Baby, I'm just a man
Peace loving man
I can't use you any more
Peace loving man

I'm tired of bars in Boston
Been feeling small in New York
Scared of guns in Houston
And tired of business talk
Don't want to talk about it, baby
Don't want to get in no fight
I just want to go to a rock androll show
And shiver and shake all night
There's a riot in the Hyatt
And madness in the Holiday Inn
So throw your big leg over me, babe
I might not feel this good again
Crazy
The road can make you crazy
Makes you bold
And get cold
Cold in your jelly roll
So won't you
Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many miles away
Here, there, everywhere
No doubt about it, I had my share
Paid my dues, got my rock and roll shoes
And thats all right?
But I never, never, never
Thought I'd see the day
When I'd be dancing alone
So take me where the music
Take me where the music play
Then you can
Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many, oh so many
I left behind me many miles away
. . .

Every day I'm more confused
In my life you're all I know
Laid your love before me
I thought you knock me down
You had me screaming for more
There's a hole in the sky
Don't tell me you're sorry
Who cares?
There's a tear in my eye
Don't you tell me you're sorry
Who cares?
Used to be cool but I ain't no more
When you told me it was gone
Always playing love songs alone
Without you near I'll never make it on my own
There's a hole in the sky
Don't tell me you're sorry
Who cares?
There's a tear in my eye
Don't you tell me you're sorry
Who cares?
Now every time I want to hold you
You keep your love away from me
Now I can feel it and I need it close to me
If you really want me, baby, if you really care
You've got to stay right by my side
You've got to stay right by my side
'Cause I need you, baby
. . .

I was running for the folks I know who never had it good
But don't know if they're feeling fine when naturally they should
Recently I seem to have become a new born man
I want to share with everyone what happened in my past
Open up the door
Going to be down the road
Celebration, celebration
Celebration, celebration
Feeling come and go again never have to please
After she let you down bring you to your knees
When you're feeling good, nothing you can do
Going to take you to the Mardi Gras piss it out on you
Going to make you feel all right
Going to make it through the night
Celebration, celebration
celebration, celebration
If you want to know what happend in the past never had it good
Come on in and see the crime I really believe they should
Recently I've seen to have become an new born man
I want to share with everyone what happened in my past
I've never been one to tease
Only want to please
Celebration, celebration
celebration, celebration
Celebration, I just want to celebrate
Celebration, give me two, give me one
