GOLDEN EARRING

NAKED II

1. WHO DO YOU LOVE

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire
Wear a cobra snake for a neck tie
Got a brand new house built on a hill
Made out a rattle snake hide
It's got a great big chimney way up on top
Made out of human skulls
So come on over here you cute little thing
And tell me who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love

A voodoo man, he took me by the hand
He said, wooo, baby I can understand
Crushed a bone on a ju, ju, stone
Rolled his eyes, and he cast a spell
Tell me who do you love, who do you love,
who do you love
Tell me yeah

The light was black and the night was blue
And down the alley I crept on through
A shot of a pistol, somebody screamed
You shoulda heard just what I seen
Tell me who do you love, who do you love,
Who do you love, who do you love

I gotta tombstone head and a grave yard mind
I'm just twenty two and I ain't stole a dime
Got the eyes of a wolf, and a gator smile
I lived long enough, and I don't mind dyin'
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love.

2. BUDDY JOE

Let me tell you about Buddy Joe
When he came down from Mexico
With his pockets full of gold
With his pockets full of gold

Have you something to declare
Are you sure there is nothing there
Cause if there is, don't say
You're not been told
You're not been told

Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
What have you done with the gold
Well, I don't really know

Well Buddy Joe searched all his life
Through Mexico all the riversides
Not for the money but for the gold
He needs to hold

Well Buddy Joe proud as he was
Couldn't stand all the fuss
When they got to all his gold
He was ready to go
He was ready to go

Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
Oh Buddy Joe, what have you done with the gold
What have you done with the gold
Well, I don't really know.

3. SHE FLIES ON STRANGE WINGS

Lonely is the night without you
Just as lonely as the shapperd whithout sheep
And where flies the falcon in the high sweet air
Without hunting in the Sprane Valleys deer

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds

She takes off when she desires
Silence grows on her lips
She can bring you so much higher
She spreads love on all her trips yeah

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds

Woke up this morning
And this feeling came to my head
To fly with her from sky to sky
Cause my mind seemed to be dead
So I floated up towards her on my mutilated wings
But all this blackness sings against me now
It's the lady of the strange wings

She wears softness as a gown
She spreads magic all around
Her feathers still untouched
She takes nothing and she gives so much

She flies on strange wings
She flies on strange winds
She brings strange things
She flies on strange wings.

4. QUIET EYES

Tony, my head's on a pillow
Clock strikes it's the count of four
Four hours of tossin' and turnin'
In a big brass bed
I've tried all the tricks in the book now
But I just can't sleep no more
Tony, what's happenin' to me
I'm tired and I'm cold
Somehow I'm imagining things
Movin' in the shadow
And my face is a painting crying
In the heat of the sun

Let the world outside pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence and the night lasted seven years

Meanwhile I'm counting all the hours
And I've counted all the days
On the pages of a calendar
And I threw it all away
Tony, I'm tryin' to make some sense baby
Always tryin' to get through to you
Maybe you're the last one to notice
How much I've been lovin' you

Let the world outside pay it's dues
I'll never know why, no matter how high
It's a sign that's been sealed and delivered
Tony, it's lookin' into your

Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence and the night lasted seven years

Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence and the night lasted seven years
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silent as the night you deserted me
Quiet eyes, silent tears
Silence and the night lasted seven years.

5. GOING TO THE RUN

I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there all-right
Ed's got the looks of a movie-star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He rides a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancin' in the living-room with the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom-tooth,
he's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colours
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

He's going to the run, run Angel
He's going to the run, run Angel
And heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

On summer at the festival
Holdin' on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie-star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He rides a bike instead of a car
I always be his friend

He's going to the run, run Angel
He's going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire into the night
Going to the run, forever Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, forever Angel.

6. BOMBAY

Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom, somewhere anywhere in L.A.

Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way back to Bombay

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Bombay, Bombay, ain't gonna leave no trace
Bombay, Bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, Bombay, in the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay

I'm gonna trade my past for a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast, if I die
Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, kama, kama Sutra I surrender, I surrender

Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay
Bombay, Bombay, ain't gonna leave no trace
Bombay, Bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, Bombay, in the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay
Bombay, Bombay, Bombay, Bombay.

7. BURNING STUNTMAN

Specialize in danger, I'm from Niagara Falls
And now I sit here waiting like an idiot for your call
Words cannot explain, rattle snake in my bones
Quess it's time to face the truth, I stand here licked by love
And in the name of love

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

I try exposed to fire of course
Choke up while I'm breathin' smoke
Come 'n quench the fire inside my soul
I wanna go go go

A slumbering volcano, about to explode
Puttin' on a smile and then your taking off your clothes
Words cannot explain, my hearts red pepper blue
And my blood goes boilin' every time I look at you
I'm in danger, how about you

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman

You try exposed to fire of course
Just like a flame whisperin' to a moth
Come on quench the fire inside my heart
I wanna go go go

Go, like a burning stuntman

I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman
I wanna go go go, like a burning stuntman.

8. MOOD INDIGO

A taste of breath, kids sweeter than honey
Your eyes are a misty dream, a million miles away
And in my ear you whisper my name
Just like some old news flash from light years ago

Van Dijkes on the silde trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happens to be Mood Indigo

Mood Indigo, I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
Before I break up

Holdin' on to my heart, smoking them downhills
In a room number 13, trying to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor your footsteps echo against the wall
My date with mystery, my girl from sin city
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice for the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me, like an old forgotten dream

Van Dijkes on the silde trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the ivory coast
Start singin' my favourite song
And it happens to be Mood Indigo

Mood Indigo, I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up

In my Mood Indigo

Mood Indigo, I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up
I can't get enough, no no
Mood Indigo, I just go weak when I hear Mood Indigo
Could last for weeks until I decide to wake up.

9. WHERE WILL I BE

Where will I be when the sun won't shine anymore
Where will I be when the moon won't smile anymore
Where will I be, where will I be

Maybe there's a place to hide from the frost
A place where life can get lost
Until then, the end is near
And the skies will ever be clear
Where will I be when the sun ain't shining
Where will I be when the moon aint' smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be when the children stop crying
Where will I be when sun comes near flying faster than a bird
Is this a game the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Now where will I be when the sun is burning
Where will I be when man is yearning for deliverance
Where will I be

Where will I be when the children stop crying
Where will I be when sun comes near flying faster than a bird
Is this a game the birth of the earth
No place to hide from the warmth
Where the rays can do no harm
Where will I be when the sun ain't shining
Where will I be when the moon aint' smiling
Where will I be

Where will I be when the sun is burning
Where will I be when man is yearning for deliverance
Where will I be.

10. THIS WHEEL’S ON FIRE

If your memory serves you well
We were goin' to meet again and wait
So I'm goin' to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell
But you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well
I was goin' to confiscate your lace
And wrap it up in a sailor's knot
And hide it in your case
If I knew for sure that it was yours
That it was oh so hard to tell
She knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode

If your memory serves you well,
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done
And after every plan had failed
And there was nothing more to tell
You knew that we would meet again
If your memory serves you well

This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode
This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode.

11. JOHNNY MAKE BELIEVE

Waitress more wine
We celebrate the life and times of Johnny Make Believe
He was the greatest liar of all man-kind
The biggest drunk, you ever saw alive
He was a devil, undisguised
He will be sorely missed tonight

And the next day will never be the same
Without the beautiful Johnny Make believe

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Always remember his last words, yeah
Farewell cruel world
All you pretty girls
Don't send me flowers
Hold me in your dreams
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride

Come on waitress pour us more wine
To drown our grief for Johnny Make Believe

He tattooed my heart, branded my soul
He said: "go for true love not for the fools' gold"

So let's get high, laugh till we cry
Don't send me flowers
Hold me in your dreams
And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride

And then the spirit in the bottle
Took our Johnny for a ride.

12. WHEN THE LADY SMILES

When the lady smiles, you know it drives me wild
Her lips are warm and resouceful
When her fingertips go drawing circles in the night
And the mood is soft and sensual

Then I love it, yeah, I love it
It's the answer to all my dreams
Every time we meet it feels like the earth is shaking
It doesn't matter, a glass is falling, I hear it shatter
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster
Shadow dancing together
Oh I, I'm betting on the game of love
Oh I, I'm betting that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout
Back at me and I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact I don't resist at all
'Cause we're walking on clouds and she's leading the way

My friends tell me: she's the beast inside your paradise
I guess you've heard it all before
A fallen angel that has got you hypnotized
And that always need some more

But I love it, yeah I love it
She'd done nothing to mislead me

And every time we meet it feels like the earth is shaking
It doesn't matter, a glass is falling, I hear it shatter
Maybe it's raining, faster and faster
Shadow dancing
Together oh I, I'm betting on the game of love
Oh I, I'm betting that love is gonna come out
When the walls no longer shout
Back at me and I'm feeling proud

When the lady smiles, she holds me in her hand
As a matter of fact, she could always let me down
But when the lady smiles, I can't resist her call
As a matter of fact I don't resist at all
'Cause we're walking on clouds and she's leading the way.

13. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT
