Words of the Prophets

It's the same old story all over again You turn a lover into just another friend I want to love you, I want to make you mine Won't you lay it on the line? I'm tired of playing all your foolish games I'm tired of all of your lies making me insane I don’t ask for much True would do just fine Won't you lay it on the line [Chorus:] Lay it on the line Lay it on the line Lay it on the line Don't waste my time You got no right to make me wait We better talk, girl, before it gets too late I never ever thought you could be so unkind Won't you lay it on the line? [Chorus] You know I love you, you know it's true It's up to you, girl, what've I got to do Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time Won't you lay it on the line? [Chorus]

Lightning smokes on the hill arise Brought the man with the warning light Shouting loud, "You had better fly!" While the darkness can help you hide Trouble's comin' without control No-one's stayin' that's got a hope Hurricane at the very least In the words of the gypsy queen Sign of the gypsy queen Pack your things and leave Word of a woman who knows Take all your gold and you go Get my saddle and tie it on Western wind, who is fast and strong Jump on back, he's good and long We'll resist 'til we reach the dawn Runnin' seems like the best defense Stayin' just don't make any sense No-one could ever stop it now Show the cards of the gypsy town Sign of the gypsy queen Pack your things and leave Word of a woman who knows Take all your gold and you go Shadows movin' without a sound From the hold of the sleepless town Evil seems to be everywhere Heed the spirit that brought despair Trouble's comin' without control No-one's stayin' that's got a hope Hurricane at the very least In the words of the gypsy queen Sign of the gypsy queen Pack your things and leave Word of a woman who knows Take all your gold and you go Sign of the gypsy queen Pack your things and leave Word of a woman who knows Take all your gold and you go Sign of the gypsy queen Pack your things and leave Word of a woman who knows Take all your gold and you go

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave White lightning, bound to drive you wild Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl "Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Every word of every song that he sang was for you In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could You do? Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please Black velvet and that little boy's smile Black velvet with that slow southern style A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees Black velvet if you please If you please, if you please, if you please

Begin the day With a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive Plays that song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood Off on your way Hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact In your happy solitude Invisible airwaves Crackle with life Bright antennae bristle With the energy Emotional feedback On a timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price Almost free... All this machinery Making modern music Can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted It's really just a question Of your honesty One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity For the words of the profits Are written on the studio wall, Concert hall Echoes with the sounds... Of salesmen.
