She gone with the man in the long black coat Crickets are chirpin' the water is high There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry Window wide open African trees Bent over backwards from a hurricane breeze Not a word of goodbye not even a note

Play by the rules You're gonna miss all the fun He was a melon stealin' A do-it-anywayin' Playin' hooky from school A water tower poet class of '73 He'd say by God you better know it if you're runnin' with me

You know she left me, my baby left me My baby even left me, never said goodbye My baby even left me, never said a word Yes, my baby left me, never said a word Was it something I done, something that she heard? But, I stand at my window, wring my hands

Drink some Margaritas by a string of blue lights Listen to the Mariachi play at midnight Are you with me, are you with me? I wanna dance by water 'neath the Mexican sky Are you with me?

I'm bout to throw some game, they both one and the same Cupid's the one to blame, say it (make love to me) I'm bout to shed some light, cause each and every night You gotta do it right, what? (fuck, me!) Oh! Oh! Oh! Say it (make love to me) Oh! Oh! Oh!

She's a cool drink of water She might be the devil's daughter But she's a cool drink of water And I should run yes, I probably oughta I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring She took it to a pawn shop, like it didn't mean a thing She went

Oh mama, oh la, oh la, oh la Don't know what this is All of these new emotions I let them out in the open What do I do now, do now, do now? Do with all of this? Oh, what do I do now? Somebody pass me the water 'Cause I'm burning

The math ahead It's moon water The math behind it The math behind Remomrize numb And half the hum For moon water I'd hide Berlin

Hold it in love The river in your mouth is pouring out Water takes the Yeah I know Hold it in babe Oh I am not myself I am not feeling

Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down I will ease your mind When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all I'm on your side Oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found
