Jack I'm Mellow

I'm so high and so dry,
I'm sailin' in the sky,
Just smoke some gage,
Come around babe,
Jack, I'm mellow.
I'm so high and so dry,
I'm way up in the sky,
The world seems light
And I'm so right,
Jack, I'm mellow.
I'm going to put my nickel in a slot machine
And play my solid sender,
I'm going to strut, peck and Suzie-Q,
Have alone a bender,
I'm so high and so dry,
I'm sailin' in the sky,
I got my roach around
And I can't come down,
Jack, I'm mellow.

My fur got stole
but, lord ain't it cold
But I'm not gonna holler
'cause I still got a dollar
And when I get low
Oooo I get high
My man walked out
Now you know that ain’t right
but He better watch out
If I see him tonight
and when I get low
Oooo I get high
All the bad luck in this town surrounds me (maybe you have this bit right)
Nobody knows how troubles all crowd around me
I’m all alone
With no-one to pet me
But that old rocking chair
Ain’t never gonna get me
‘cause when I get low
Oooo I get high
All the bad luck in this town surrounds me
Nobody knows how troubles all crowd around me
I’m all alone
With no-one to pet me
with the old rocking chair
Ain’t gonna get me
‘cause when I get low
Oooo I get high

If You're a Viper
04:14

Dreamed about a reefer five feet long.
Mighty Mezz, but not too strong.
You'll be high but not for long
If you're a viper.
I'm the queen of everything.
I've got to be high so I can swing.
Light a tea and let it be
If you're a viper.
When your throat get dry you know you're high
Everything is dandy
Truck on down to the candy store
Bust your konk on peppermint candy
Then you know that you're body's spent.
You don't care if you don't pay rent.
Sky is high and so am I
If you're a viper.

Friday left me fumblin' with the blues
And it's hard to win when you always lose
Because the nightspots spend your spirit
Beat your head against the wall
Two dead ends and you've still got to choose
You know the bartenders, they all know my name
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead
You know, the ladies I've been seeing off and on
Well they spend your love and then they're gone
You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel
Take your love and then they leave on out of town, no they do
Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze
But it's standin' up that's so hard for me
I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back
You know your perfume, well it won't let me be
You know the bartenders, all know my name
And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
When I should be living clean instead
Come on baby, let your love light shine
Gotta bury me inside of your fire
Because your eyes are 'enough to blind me
You're like looking at the sun
You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one

After You've Gone

After you've gone and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day when you'll grow lonely
Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away
After Im gone, after we break up
After Im gone, youre gonna wake up
You will find you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind
After the years weve been together
Thought joy and tears, all kinds of weather
Someday blue and downhearted
Youll long to be with me right back where you started
After Im gone, after Im gone away
You will find you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind
Someday blue and downhearted
Youll long to be with me right back where you started
After Im gone, after Im gone away
Youll feel blue and youll feel sad
Youll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
Someday when you'll grown lonely
Your heart will break like mine and youll want me only
After youve gone, after youve gone away
