Perrier blues

-- spoken:
"this is a brand new song wed like to do for you now. and, I wrote this
Song sittin sandin the ol main mast sittin in the hurricane hole, in
Nassau, bahamas. about to throw up and the only thing that could get me
Through was a bottle of perrier and a jackson browne album. so, this is
Called perrier blues."
Ridin high atop the main mast
Harbor stretched out below
All day Ive been feelin kind of half-assed
So I asked the boy to lower me slow
Lower me slow
Sat down and drank me some perrier
Watched the seaplane disappear out of sight
Confused in my head well I jumped back in bed
Wondering whos at the fronton tonight
Shinin bright
I know the night and I miss it
Ive got this thing for applause
But like a cat on my rockin chair cushion
Ive got to stretch my claws
Move my jaw
I know Ive got the best of both worlds
Though that sounds like a t.v. show
When that anchor goes down and the sails are all furled
Well its back on the road I go
Back I go
Well I bitch about the food and the weather
Wondering why the hell I ever came back
But knowing deep down I love this merry-go-round
And I cant wait to lay down this track
When I get back
Yeah, I know the night and I love it
Ive got this thing for a show
If the balls hit my way Im going to glove it
cause thats the only thing I know
All I know
Yeah, I know the night and I miss it
Ive got this thing for applause
But like a cat on my rockin chair cushion
Ive got to stretch my claws
Move my jaw
Move my jaw
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues
Cant seem to lose those perrier blues
