The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes Lyrics
4 ContributorsThe Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes LyricsOut of sight, do it
The people rose and set off for the sun
At night they read their star signs
A people proud for they know their kingdom come
Their skin was tanned by moonshine
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
I know now why they gone and it's all past
There come a European
His love was good but his lust, it lingered last
And stuck like a devil demon
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
On lonely nights you can hear the distant call
And good hearts hear the rhythm
And now I know pride before a fall
On the road to freedom
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Got to keep-a-movin'
Got to keep-a-movin' on
Woh, woh, woh, woh, now
I'm an insider, baby (or "Human inside, baby"?)
So long, baby
Goodbye

Baby Face Lyrics
2 ContributorsBaby Face LyricsPut up, Baby Face
I love your lipstick, Baby Face
It makes me all shades of red
Give me wild while you do to me one
Make me hot when I should be sleeping in my bed
I love your big eyes, Baby Face
They seem to suggest much more than you say
I love the mark in your secret place, oow Baby Face
Love is like a peppermint machine, that's green, it's green
I love your hair down, Baby Face
And I can picture ya as you do, oow, with your fingers running through
I love ya, Baby Face
The way you bite your lips, ooo...ow!
How 'bout (the) Baby Face? {repeat 17 times}
Chatting Today Lyrics
2 ContributorsChatting Today LyricsI worked for the union and on my very first communion, you know
It never ever, ever, ever worked out right
So I spent the night sleepin' on the railway
I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said "So long, amigo. Good night" and slept on the railway
The railway, there's no better way, ooh the railway
And it's nice to talk to you today
I worked for the miller, a very, very nice type of fell-a {fellow}
But I could see that it was never gonna work out right
So I split and spent the night sleeping on the railway
I worked in the subway arc, oh yeah, yeah
You know it never, no no never, no never no, ever no, worked out right
So I said "So long" and spent the night on the railway
The railway, give me a bottle of whiskey, ooh the railway
Ooh, there's nothin' like the railway
And I'd like to thank someone for mascara and good things that I done
And for the time ya spent and the friendship begun
And most of all starry nights on the railway
Ooh, I don't know no better way
Than just, ooh, lyin' back an' drifting away
I can hear it, I can hear it
