Moving and grooving so soothing I want more
Moving and grooving I ain’t loosing like I did before
Who’s gonna set my soul on fire
I got a need and strong desire
I was rolling, but got no dice
Got no protection from the laws of vice
Moving and grooving so soothing I want more
Moving and grooving I ain’t loosing like I did before
No justice the big man said
A one way ticket to a dead man’s bed
He said there’s a reason why
Bad luck and trouble and no alibi
Moving and grooving so soothing I want more
I was searching and realized
The message from the outskirts opened my eyes
Train I ride goes to God knows where
A voice keeps saying honey life ain’t fair
Moving and grooving so soothing I want more
Moving and grooving I ain’t loosing like I did before
Chalking time like it just don’t matter
Chalking time like noon day chatter
Oh, I’m drawing the short straw again

Here I stand at my last refuge
Or, maybe it’s my last stand
Don’t move your head about what you’re seeing
Don’t move your lips about what their saying
Hey, hey
I won’t be seduced by these distractions
And, I won’t squander my precious time
Don’t move your head about, about what you’re seeing
Don’t move your lips about, about what their saying
Ho ho ho you don’t push that river
Ho ho ho you keep chopping that wood
Tragedy’s cousin has come to town
I will stay in this place of refuge
I will dance now by the river’s edge
Don’t move your head about, about what you’re seeing
Don’t move your lips about what their saying
Ho ho ho you don’t push no river
Ho ho ho you keep chopping that wood
Ho ho ho you don’t push that river
Ho ho ho you keep chopping that wood
You keep chopping that wood
You keep chopping that wood
You keep chopping that wood

Come on now everybody, oh I wish you would
Heading for the land of a thousand dances
Wilson Pickett now sure sounds good
Bogalusa ain’t hard to find
55 south and across the state line
La, la, la line
Gonna leave my trouble behind me
Oh, let me say it again
I’m gonna leave my trouble behind me
Heading, for the lo land again
Bogalusa ain’t hard to find
55 South and across the state line
La, la, la line
It’s just a heart beat away
Oh, yes it’s just a heart beat away
Come on boys
Here I go again
Five o’clock AM and there ain’t no end
Oh no the music’s kicking
And, you know there ain’t no quitting
Bogalusa ain’t hard to find
55 South and across the state line
La, la, la line
It’s just a heart beat away
Oh, yes it’s just a heart beat away
It’s just a heart beat away

Here ,now, this moment I can’t pretend
I say here, now this moment is gonna end
I was pushing, pushing so hard now, oh you just didn’t see
Calling on everybody
Everybody except Cindy Lee
Here, now, this moment I can’t pretend
I said here, now, this moment is gonna end
Closer now to the end of beginnings
Oh, and coming on strong
Living with this gun ain’t easy
It don’t matter because I’m already gone
This town is my religion
This town won’t let me go
This town is my reason
Oh, my heart and soul
Here, now, this moment I can’t pretend
I said here, now, this moment is gonna end
No age, no limit
No fear of borrowed time
I want to go where the Jackal dwells now
Hear the tales and live to tell
This town is my religion
This town won’t let me go
This town is my reason
Oh, my heart and soul
It was a narrow street he told me
And, I lived to tell
It was a narrow street he told me
And, I lived to tell

Please stay a little longer
Oh, don’t you know there ain’t nothing wrong here
It was a Saturday night situation
I was breaking every rule in creation
Sometimes it just ain’t enough now
The fear of fear keeping you stuck
I’m a rolling man
A cold black night
And got no plan
It’s the demon in me
Pushing so hard and wants to be free
Please stay a little longer
Oh, don’t you know there ain’t nothing wrong here
Get down get into it darling
I ain’t gonna quit you
It’s a party now built for two
A jamboree were going to
Please, stay a little longer
Oh, don’t you know there ain’t nothing wrong here
It’s soul satisfaction I need
To keep away the misery
It was solitary sadness you see
As you were walking away from me
Won’t you hear my plea tonight
I want to hold you in my arms so tight
Please, stay a little longer
Oh, don’t you know that there ain’t nothing wrong here
Please, stay a little while with me
Please, won’t you stay a little while with me

I’ve been tempted, oh and I’ve been strange
All my life, yeah
Won’t you give it a name?
You say it’s different, or maybe the same
Stuck inside the same old game
Can’t rewind though these demons of ignorance
The fire didn’t die, but my perception has changed
You say that it’s different, or maybe the same
Stuck inside the same old game
Oh, it’s the same old game now
Faith it feeds the tomb of the fools
Your death will come to you, you won’t even see it
You say it’s different, or maybe the same
Stuck inside the same old game
Your stuck inside the same old game

Oh, the temperature’s rising
It must be a 105
If, it gets any hotter now
Cooking this man alive
Oh, it’s cooking this man alive
My flesh is burning
About to burst into flames
I’ll never doubt a love that burns
Lifting my desire, oh it’s lifting my desire
I know you’re trying to melt the ice around my heart
This mortal fire, come and see it burn now
Come see it burn, now, now, now
I know you’re trying to melt the ice around my heart
This mortal fire, come and see it burn now
Come see it burn, now, now
My heart on fire, but what will tomorrow bring
I’ll never doubt a love that burns
Come on see it burn
I said come on see it burn
This mortal fire lifting my desire
This mortal fire, yeah, come on see it burn

What drives you on the road to ruin tonight?
And what wll guide you gonna make everything alright
You’re like a monkey with a shotgun coming for me
Coming for me
Think about it, brother what you gonna do
Life and death decisions all gonna fall on you
You’re like a monkey with a shotgun coming for me
Coming for me
Oh, I was thinking in this corner of my mind
We are under this volcano
Going to the end now and it just won’t stop
And, it just won’t stop
Oh, I was thinking in this corner of my mind
We are under this volcano
Going to the end now, and it just won’t stop
And, it just won’t stop
You’re like a monkey with a shotgun coming for me
Oh, you’re like a monkey with a shotgun coming for me
Going to the end now it just won’t stop

Been through the bad and the good
Still standing here you knew that I would
Leaving my troubles, gonna leave them behind me
A thousand miles away where they can’t find me
Taking me to the edge of insanity
Whew
Carry me on tomorrow
Sacrifice my yesterday
Leaving those troubles, gonna leave them behind me
A thousand miles away where they can’t find me
Taking me to the edge of insanity
Whew
Tolling Bell keeps ringing so loud in my head
Ding dong
Taking me to the edge of insanity
Whew
Tolling bell keeps ringing around my head
Tolling bell keeps ringing so loud in my head
Ding dong

Wondering and worrying gonna do you so wrong
The idiot wind is coming on strong
Mama we ain’t long we ain’t long for today, oh no
We can’t let the fools just have their way, oh no
Round and round and round we go
Round and round and round we go
Gonna wear you down, gonna sap your strength
Until you’re so mixed up you ain’t got no sense
Mama we ain’t long we ain’t for today, oh no
We can’t let the fools have their way, oh no, oh no
Round and round and round we go
Round and round and round we go
Silence will be my virtual doubt
Standing still my last account
Mama we ain’t long we ain’t for today, oh no
We can’t let the fools have just their way, oh no, oh no
Round and round and round we go
Round and round and round we go
