Cars Hiss By My Window
 
  
The cars hiss by my window 
Like the waves down on the beach 
The cars hiss by my window 
Like the waves down on the beach 
I got this girl beside me 
But she's out of reach
  
Headlight through my window 
Shinin' on the wall 
Headlight through my window 
Shinin' on the wall 
Can't hear my baby 
Though I called and called
  
Windows started tremblin' 
With a sonic boom 
Windows started tremblin' 
With a sonic boom, boom 
A cold girl'll kill you 
In a darkened room
  
Ride 
Ride on
 
 
  
L.A. Woman
 
  
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago 
Took a look around see which way the wind blows 
Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows 
Are you a lucky little lady in The City of Light? 
Or just another lost angel 
City of Night 
City of Night 
City of Night 
City of Night
  
L.A. Woman 
L.A. Woman 
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon 
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon 
L.A. Woman Sunday afternoon 
Drive thru your suburbs 
Into your blues 
into your blues 
Into your blue-blue Blues 
Into your blues
  
I see your hair is burnin' 
Hills are filled with fire 
If they say I never loved you 
You know they are a liar 
Drivin' down your freeways 
Midnite alleys roam  
Cops in cars, the topless bars 
Never saw a woman 
So alone 
so alone 
So alone 
so alone

L'America
 
  
I took a trip down to L'America 
To trade some beads for a pint of gold 
I took a trip down to L'America

You know the rain man's comin' ta town 
Change the weather, change your luck 
And then he'll teach ya how ta...find yourself

Friendly strangers came to town 
All the people put them down 
But, the women loved their ways 
Come again some other day 
Like the gentle rain 
Like the gentle rain that falls
  
I took a trip down to L'America 
To trade some beads for a pint of gold 
I took a trip down to L'America 
To trade some beads for a pint of gold

Hyacinth House
 
  
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House? 
What are they doing in the Hyacinth House? 
To please the lions in this day
  
I need a brand new friend who doesn't bother me 
I need a brand new friend who doesn't trouble me 
I need someone and who doesn't need me
  
I see the bathroom is clear 
I think that somebody's near 
I'm sure that someone is following me, oh yeah
  
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away? 
Why did you throw the Jack of Hearts away? 
It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play
  
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend 
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend 
And I'll say it again, I need a brand new friend 
The end

THE WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
 
  
I wanna tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat 
Comes out of the Virginia swamps 
Cool and slow with plenty of precision 
With a back beat narrow and hard to master
  
Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance 
Others, mean and ruthful of the Western dream 
I love the friends I have gathered together on this thin raft 
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping 
This is the land where the Pharaoh died
  
The Negroes in the forest brightly feathered 
They are saying, "Forget the night 
Live with us in forests of azure 
Out here on the perimeter there are no stars 
Out here we is stoned - immaculate."
  
Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache 
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the lose of God 
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night 
The meager food for souls forgot 
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul
  
I'll tell you this 
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn
  
I'll tell you 'bout Texas Radio and the Big Beat 
Soft drivin', slow and mad, like some new language
  
Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas 
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio 
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night 
Wandering the Western dream 
Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul
 
 
  
Riders On The Storm
 
  
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Into this house we're born 
Into this world we're thrown 
Like a dog without a bone 
An actor out alone 
Riders on the storm
  
There's a killer on the road 
His brain is squirmin' like a toad 
Take a long holiday 
Let your children play 
If you give this man a ride 
Sweet family will die 
Killer on the road
  
Girl ya gotta love your man 
Girl ya gotta love your man 
Take him by the hand 
Make him understand 
The world on you depends 
Our life will never end 
Gotta love your man
  
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Into this house we're born 
Into this world we're thrown 
Like a dog without a bone 
An actor out alone 
Riders on the storm
  
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm 
Riders on the storm
