"everybody wants to touch somebody, if it takes all night,
everybody wants to take a little chance -- make it come out right"
.
gather round me children let me tell you all a tale
about the rap per pilgrim agent of conservative regale
there's a bluish tint to freedom and it heals the sick taboo
of the prudish hint of tedium that tries to stick to you
but you don't have to stay sequestered by your lonely feeling blue
just try to go out and invest in someone else whose heart is true
[TAG]
there's a rickety rope bridge that leads away from your plateau
and it leads to lands outside of friends and family you know
so take some traveling advice from an old ranger of the road
cuz you don't want to end up croaking like some hop-come-lately toad
there are dangers lurking everywhere -- I guess it has to be
or there'd be no need for heroes like the one you found in me
[TAG]
I loved you when you left to start your journey to the place
where you thought you might be learning of the sculpting of the face
and my heart continued breaking as I realized the fact
that I probably won't see you, no, you won't be coming back
so my countenance was sad and though I tried to set you free
I thought you might come back and see me with your plastic surgery
[TAG]
wanting so to shower you with my sweet TLC
saying "don't go chasing waterfalls" made me appear to be
just another of the beads you string around your gras mardi
or that crazy tortured soul on Conspiracy Theory
so I had to let it go and pray that you would safely be
escorted to someone who loves you even half as much as me
[TAG]
I miss you and I love you and I'd love to see you soon
before the cycle takes me elsewhere in the circuit of the moon
before the need to have a partner makes me choose somebody new
maybe older, maybe wiser, maybe fun, but not quite YOU
I guess there's some encounters that just aren't meant to be
more than innocent rebounders, redirecting our journey
[TAG]
so if your soul is funky with a heart for getting down
come and see the mermaid junky as he crashes to the ground
and don't guard your maiden voyage as you travel toward the reefs
you'll be sure to get a hull full of the ballast in the breach
but while you're in the drydock sipping salty margaritas
just remember what I tell you, there's a stag among the cheetahs
[TAG]
yeah, somewhere in the night there's another soul like you
who is searching for someone who likes to party, keep it true,
keep it real, keep it funky and is strong enough to stay
through your business of the monkey from the branches where you sway
but it's OK, what the Hey, life is full of come what may
I'm just saying don't be straying from the paths that keep you safe
