And the lights came down And the room was dark and quiet Just the lonesome sound Of mosquitoes on a diet And you looked at me With eyes a burnin' brightly And whispered low.... Will tomorrow like tonight be? And you held me close And I barely slept an hour But I never knew you better When the morning coffee sputtered And we shared an omelet Some toast and peanut butter Coltrane on the stereo Rain washing the shutters And we kissed good morning Then I headed home And the sky was shining And my head so heavy hung... Now the lights come down And the room is dark and quiet Just the lonesome sound Of mosquitoes on a diet And you look at me With eyes a burnin' brightly And whisper low.... Will tomorrow like tonight be?

I'm ferris wheelin' Feet up on the ceilin' I'm ferris wheelin' all the way The wheel is spinning round Turning me upside down You're looking better by the way You're looking better by the way You're looking better by the way... The sea it shivers Like sparkling blue mirrors Circling birds above the spray They dive and deliver Hunting for their dinner Counting their blessings by the day Counting their blessings by the day Counting their blessings by the day... And the moon's afar Shepherding the stars Smiling down on us Smiling down on us... I'm ferris wheelin' Feet up on the ceilin' I'm ferris wheelin' all the way The wheel is spinning round Turning me upside down You're looking better by the way...

Walking out on the sand Walking out on the street Over mountains and milestones and miracles I've got some beat feet... Beat feet, they need some lovin' Beat feet, bath salt and cucumber slices Beat feet, got nothing to prove Beat feet, take a power nap by the pool Walking through a wasteland Over clear cut empirical madness Now for Bambi, Thumper and the 7 dwarves The world is getting small And the sun's getting hotter I've got some beat feet They need some lotion Beat feet, peppermint scrub, baking soda Beat feet, got nothing to lose Beat feet, I don't wanna talk about it All considering, I have made it thus far Without a major incident Knocking on the wood of my guitar It's coming down to the hour To lace up my boots and pull my socks on Awesome pedestrian power Gonna find another route to get my kicks on I've got to beat feet To make like a tree and leave Beat feet, no quarters in the meter Beat feet, there's no time to talk about it
