The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holding and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sailed away with me
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sailed away with me
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
And I see a lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away
We will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away
We will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea

Let me sail, let me sail
Let the orinoco flow
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea
De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De
Sail away, sail away, sail away [x4]
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea
De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De, De
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Turn it up, Turn it up, Turn it up, up, Adieu, Ohhhh
Sail away, sail away, sail away [x4]
From the North to the South
Ebudae into Khartoum
From the deep sea of Clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never seen
We can sail, we can sail
With the orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sigh, say goodbye
Ross and his dependency
We can sail, we can sail...(Sail away, Sail away, Sail away)

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows
And a dream is just a vessel that must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you, and never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle, just to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
So, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
Too many times, we stand aside and let the water slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow, that has now become today
So don't you sit up on the shoreline, say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids, and dare to dance the tide
Yes, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
So, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know, I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all
Yes, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
So, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
Yes, I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she SAILS
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
I heard there's a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into Hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about me
And my ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
In the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to England
I shall watch the English mist roll through the dale
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

Here I stand, watching the tide go out
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you
I watched your ship as it SAILED out to sea
Taking all my dreams
And taking all of me
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
The sighing of the waves
The wailing of the wind
The tears in my eyes burn
Pleading, "My love, return"
Why, oh, why must I go on like this?
Shall I just be a lonely stranger on the shore?
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves, spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But we'll try, best that we can
To carry on
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, baby
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
Singing "Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me"
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

Out upon the islands on a cool summer night
Buddy, you don't got to hurry, take your time
What you need is on the menu and you get it tonight
Buddy, you got womens on your mind
Could this be magic? Or could this be love?
Could this turn tragic
You know that magic often does
And I see lonely ships upon the water
Better save the women and children first
SAIL away with someone's daughter
Better save the women and children first
I hear music on the landin' an' there's laughter in the air

I am a sailor, you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail
For the heart's treasure, together we set SAIL
With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Together we're in this relationship
We've built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any charts
We're navigating to the shores of the heart
Life is an ocean and love is a boat
In troubled waters that keeps us afloat
When we started the voyage, there was just me and you
Now gathered 'round us, we have our own crew
Life is an ocean and love is a boat

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town, we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, ay-yeah-ay
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home
Let me go home
(Why don't you let me go?)
Hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B)
Feel so broke up, I wanna go home
Let me go home
The poor cook, he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail (hoist up the John B's sail)
See how the mainsail sets (see how the mainsail sets)
Call for the captain ashore, let me go home
Let me go home, I wanna go home

Dinning and dancing with every pretty girl I can find

Well I went down to the grundy county auction
Where I saw something I just had to have

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
PRETTY flamingo

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver, or the devil, he may take you"
Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
I took all of his money and it was a PRETTY penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy
Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o
Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a-roarin'
And me, I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah
Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
He called Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

A ginger sling with a pineapple heart
A coffee dessert, yes, you know it's good news
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
Cool cherry cream, nice apple tart
I feel your taste all the time we're apart
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
You might not feel it now
But when the pain cuts through
You're going to know and how
The sweat is going to fill your head
When it becomes too much
You'll shout aloud
(Instrumental/Solo)
But you'll have to have them all pulled out
After the Savoy truffle
You know that what you eat you are
But what is sweet now turns so sour
We all know obla-dibla-da
But can you show me where you are?

I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table
But I never get it right
No, I never get it right
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stingin' me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
And I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I got what I need
I try to stick this pin through a butterfly 'cause I
I like all the pretty colors
But it just fell apart, so I flung it in the fire
To burn with all the others
'Cause I never get it right
No, I never get it right
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees
I can't understand why they're stingin' me
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I got what I need
I'll rip and smash through the hornet's nest
Do you understand I deserve the best?
'Til you do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I've got what I need
And this time, I'll get it right
This time, I'll get it right
It's gonna be this time, I'll get it right
God, let it be this time, I get it right
So I'm cuttin' that branch off the cherry tree
Singin' this will be my victory
Then I
See them comin' after me
And they're followin' me across the sea
And now they're stingin' my friends and my family
And I
I don't know why this is happening
But I'll do what I want, I'll do what I please
I'll do it again 'til I got what I need
I keep swingin' my hand through a swarm of bees 'cause I
I want honey on my table

You come on like a dream, PEACHES AND CREAM
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful
And you're mine (mine, all mine)
You're all ribbons and curls
Ooh, what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine
(Mine, all mine, mine, mine)
You're my baby, you're my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed, I could not stop
You walked out of my dreams, into my arms
Now you're my angel divine

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With TANGERINE trees and MARMALADE skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat MARSHMALLOW PIES
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh...
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Vanilla soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I won't, maybe I won't, maybe I will
The tutti fruit with fruity blue cheese
Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
Well, you gotta eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green
Ah, but porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
It weaves it's web from a drink
And I do believe I'm gonna get one
And leave enough room for dessert
Chicken ripple ice cream

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster!
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Motion in the ocean
His air hose broke
Lots of trouble
Lots of bubble
He was in a jam
He's in a giant clam!
Rock, rock
Rock lobster!
Down, down
Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster!
Rock lobster
Rock lobster
Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'
Rock, rock
Rock lobster
Down, down
Lobster... rock!
Lobster... rock!
Let's rock!
Boys and bikinis
Girls and surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's frugin'
Twistin' round the fire, havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes, bakin' in the sun
Put on your noseguard
Hit on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter
Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jellyfish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!
Rock lobster
Rock lobster

… You don't like crazy music, you don't like rockin' bands
You just wanna go to a movie show
And sit there holdin' hands
You're so SQUARE
Baby, I don't care
… You don't like hot rod racin' or drivin' late at night
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark
You just wanna hold me tight
You're so square
Baby, I don't care
… You don't know any dance steps that are new
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do
… I don't know why my heart flips, I only know it does
I wonder why I love you, baby
I guess it's just because
You're so square
Baby, I don't care

They seek him here, they seek him there
His clothes are loud, but never SQUARE
It will make or break him, so he's got to buy the best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
And when he does his little rounds
'Round the boutiques of London town
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he's in stripes
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
They seek him here, they seek him there
In Regent Street and Leicester Square
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
Oh yes, he is (oh yes, he is)
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly
In matters of the cloth, he is as fickle as can be
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion
He's a dedicated follower of fashion

Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on the state road map
That's where I was born and where I'll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody's in a rat race
And these days that's a special way of life
Down home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home
A man's good word and a handshake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home
In the corner of the hardware store
Gathered round on a checkered board
Old men telling lies and crownin' kings
Kids drivin' round the old town square
Cops roll down in the cool night air
Go and see what's shakin' at the Dairy Queen
Down home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home
A man's good word and a hand shake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home
Those of us raised up down home
When I was a boy, I couldn't wait to leave this place
But now I wanna see my children raised
Down home
Down home
Folks know
If there fallin' on hard times they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down home
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home
A mans good word and a handshake are all you need
Folks know
If they're fallin' on hard times, they can fall back home
Those of us raised up
Down home
Down home
Way down home
Down home
Down home

She grew up in an Indiana town
Had a good-looking mama who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night
Whoo-ooh!
Whoo-ooh!
Well, she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than they'd seen
I was introduced and we both started grooving
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin'
On, keep movin' on"
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again
Whoo-ooh!
Whoo-ooh!
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You never slowed down, you never grow old
Tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down
Tired of myself, tired of this town
Oh my, my, oh hell, yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again
There's pigeons down on Market SQUARE
She's standin' in her underwear
Lookin' down from a hotel room
The nightfall will be comin' soon
Oh my, my, oh hell, yes
You got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up alone
I hit my last number and walked to the road
Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm
Tired of this town again

I used to be a renegade
I used to fool around
But I couldn't take the punishment
And had to settle down
Now I'm playing it real straight
And yes, I cut my hair
You might think I'm crazy
But I don't even care
'Cause I can tell what's going on
It's hip to be SQUARE
It's hip to be square
I like my bands in business suits
I watch them on TV
I'm working out most every day
And watchin' what I eat
They tell me that it's good for me
But I don't even care
I know that it's crazy
I know that it's nowhere
But there is no denying that
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
It's not too hard to figure out
You see it every day
And those that were the farthest out
Have gone the other way
You see them on the freeway
It don't look like a lot of fun
But don't you try to fight it
An idea whose time has come
Don't tell me that I'm crazy
Don't tell me I'm nowhere
Take it from me
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
So hip to be square
Tell 'em, boys
So hip to be square
(Hip, hip)

Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
An' just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
But please realize
You'll probably be surprised
For it's the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind
The mind, the mind

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my MIND
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good

I've had nothing, but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her MIND
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines on your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn't planned
I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what I'd came there for
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind
Stay away, look out
If you're out on a moonlit night
Be careful of them neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin' to win you with her feminine ways
Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
You'd better get out of there fast
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you
She's just a devil woman

Beware the devil woman

I don't even care, we could have all three
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
Even if you have, even if you need
I don't mean to stare, we don't have to breed
We can plant a house, we can build a tree
I don't even care, we could have all three
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said, she said
She said
Said, good

In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
Karen, she's a silver sun
You'd best walk her way and watch it shine
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now, well, I'm crying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
Dark and silent late last night
Think I might have heard the highway calling
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say, "I'm going, I'm going"
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
It's with a holy host of others standing 'round me
Still, I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it looks like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
I said can't you just feel the moonshine?
And ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind?
When I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Well, I'm already gone, I'm gone
Say nice things about me 'cause I'm gone, South, I'm gone
You got to carry on without me, I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind, yeah
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of MIND
I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind
It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News
It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind
