lirik lagu orinoco – seattle
(interlude)
no need to lie about a gutter life
open your mind to a long hot summer night
(piano rhythm)
dolly dagger called me a liar for kissin girls under rainbow bridge
love or confusion got me choosin
women or one rainy wish
(verse)
let’s go back to ’83
to the ol town that had raised me
long since escapin a belly b-tton window
had my hair shakin in the wind slow
through crosstown traffic i was cruisin wild
with the spanish castle magic of a voodoo child
tryin to hit on the foxey ladies
thinkin, “she’s so fine”
but they were actin awfully shady
and i screamed, “how could it be oh why?”
i said to one, “come to my place i lead you follow”
she replied, “i’m fine gotta go for the night wait til tomorrow?”
“besides you’re so mysterious, when it comes to somethin as bold as love are you even experienced?”
i felt kickin in and then wept in manic depression
i allowed my emotions to stand at attention
i couldn’t hold it in as i sat on the curb crying
up above i see the flocks of night birds flying
it was a very rainy day, i wanted to dream away
camouflage the pain away, and just go off and leave today
i traveled the land
arrive at a watchtower go up to the top and make castles from sand
and while gods made love and had obscene fun
i picked off angels with joe’s machine gun
delivered words of wisdom as i played in an electric church
and won’t leave til my worries and stress is left in the dirt
when i exited the holy building i turned around
to see the sacred stylish house burnin down
but the weird thing as it burned in a blaze
the smoke and fumes turned to purple haze
among the casualties was a midnight lamp
my optics near popped out the sockets
because through the dim light land
just straight ahead
like a hot meal she was blazin red
s-xy signs in those gypsey eyes
she said, “we gotta live together call me little miss lover”
“i’ve got an abusive man i wanna leave em
and seems you need a little helper to show you true freedom”
she noticed me get nervous and told me, “you’re actin funny” “yeah i don’t know why”
but don’t act so surprised
i’m not one of these low life guys”
watching the moon turn the tides
and the electric church burn through the night
as we clutch up in an awkward and tangled manner
we look up to see….
the fire works and star spangled banners
(outro)
fly oh fly sweet angel……
through the sky
