Carla Bley & Paul Haines - Rawalpindi Blues lyrics

JACK: You got to give up what you don't want to get what you do HIS FRIENDS: What will we ever do with you? JACK & PARROT: Rawalpindi blues JACK: Fountain lions fighting for the view lonelier fish in hats Parrots so green they make the sky seem blue. Look in my eyes. HIS FRIENDS: And let me stay away from you. JACK & PARROT: Rawalpindi blues Breakneck teeth baby-faced finger pretending an end a mockery of Ginger in a gooey robe. It's again it's again it's again. 'Jack's traveling band' Nurses dying their hair don't care if the horse it locked the house still there. It doesn't seem to matter to them the traces of horses and pineapple and cheese and stiff caterpillars on crackers kept track in a field by an informant monkey smoking eel in the middle of a lake his treading eyes the chemical surprise between day and night so late there is light at the edge of the lake. Bullfrogs are having their throats cut. You pick hysterically at your memory. O Rawalpindi! JACK: When we were alone when she'd grab me by my wishbone as though as though it alone were real Ginger'd wish and we'd win and the bone would come true. HIS FRIENDS & DESERT WOMEN: What will we ever do with you? What will we ever do with you? What will we ever do with you? 'desert band' SAND SHEPHERD: [again]
