LYRICS
Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there’s a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Pearl Django at the Salmon Center
A fundraiser gala for early childhood music, featuring hot club jazz by world-renowned Pearl Django!
Take It Easy
[Verse 1]
Well, I’m running down the road tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me, two that wanna stone me
One says she’s a friend of mine
[Chorus]
Take It easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy
[Verse 2]
Well, I’m a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me
[Chorus]
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose, and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in
So take it easy
[BANJO & GUITAR SOLO]
[Verse 3]
Well, I’m running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my cover
She’s so hard to find
[Chorus]
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Peaceful Easy Feeling
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
[Chorus]
‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standin’
On the ground
[Verse 2]
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw, but she can’t take you anyway
You don’t already know how to go
[Chorus]
And I got a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standin’
On the ground
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I get this feelin’ I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whisperin’ in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
[Chorus]
‘Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won’t let me down
‘Cause I’m already standin’
I’m already standin’
Yes, I’m already standin’
On the ground
[Outro]
Whoo oh ooh
Tequila Sunrise
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
It’s another tequila sunrise
Starin’ slowly ‘cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin’ on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by
[Bridge]
Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she’s out runnin’ ‘round
[Verse 2]
She wasn’t just another woman
And I couldn’t keep from comin’ on
It’s been so long
Oh, and it’s a hollow feelin’ when
It comes down to dealin’ friends
It never ends
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It’s another tequila sunrise,
This old world still looks the same
Another frame, mmm
Best of My Love
[Verse 1]
Every night I’m lying in bed
Holding you close in my dreams
Thinking about all the things that we said
And coming apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
[Refrain]
I know you were trying
To give me the best of your love
[Verse 2]
Beautiful faces
And loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
[Refrain]
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
[Bridge]
I’m going back in time
And it’s a sweet dream
It was a quiet night
And I would be all right
If I could go on sleeping
[Verse 3]
But every morning
I wake up and worry
What’s gonna happen today
You see it your way
And I see it mine
But we both see it slippin’ away
You know we always had each other baby
I guess that wasn’t enough
[Refrain]
Oh-uh-oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
[Chorus/Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
Ev’ry night and day
(You get the best of my love)
(The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
Ohohuh, ohohuh
(You get the best of my love)
(The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
You get the best of my love
(The best of my love)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, sweet darling
Mhmhmhmh
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
(The best of my love)

Already Gone
[Verse 1]
Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you’ll soon find out it’s true
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
[Post-Chorus]
Woo hoo hoo, my my
Woo hoo hoo
[Verse 2]
The letter that you wrote me
Made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(That’s right)
[Chorus]
And I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
[Post-Chorus]
Woo hoo hoo, my my
Woo hoo hoo
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Well, I know it wasn’t you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn’t you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
[Chorus]
But me, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing (I will sing) this vict’ry song
‘Cause I’m already gone
Yes, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
‘Cause I’m already gone
[Outro]
Yes, I’m already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Lyin’ Eyes
[Verse 1]
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won’t have to worry
She’ll dress up all in lace and go in style
[Verse 2]
Late at night, a big, old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has it’s price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
[Verse 3]
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who’s feelin’ down
But he knows where she’s goin’ as she’s leavin’
She is headed for the cheatin’ side of town
[Chorus]
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
[Verse 4]
On the other side of town, a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night, anticipating
Because he makes her feel the way she used to feel
[Verse 5]
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers that it’s only for a while
She swears that, soon, she’ll be comin’ back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
[Chorus]
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
[Verse 6]
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it’s gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
[Verse 7]
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She’s so far gone, she feels just like a fool
[Verse 8]
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain’t it funny how your new life didn’t change things?
You’re still the same old girl you used to be
[Chorus]
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
[Outro]
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes
Honey, you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
One of These Nights
[Verse 1]
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We’re gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons and you got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
[Chorus]
Ooh, someone to be kind to
In between the dark and the light
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights
[Verse 2]
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We’re gonna find one
Oh, one that really screams
I’ve been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I’ve been searching for an angel in white
I’ve been waiting for a woman who’s a little of both
And I can feel her, but she’s nowhere in sight
[Chorus]
Ooh, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right (oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights
[Guitar Solo] AIR GUITAR PERFORMANCE = EXTRA CREDIT
[Outro]
One of these nights
Mmm, in between the dark and the light
Comin’ right behind you
Swear I’m gonna find you
Get you, baby, one of these nights
One of these nights
Hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo
One of these nights
I can feel you
I can feel
One of these nights
Comin’ right behind you
Swear I’m gonna find you, now
One of these nights
And it gets so dark
So dark and cold and lonely
One of these nights
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights
One of these nights
Swear I’m gonna find you
Comin’ right behind you, now
One of these nights
Hoo, hoohoooo
One of these nights
And I wanna say, ahhh
One of these nights
One of these, one of these
One of these nights
Comin’ right behind you
Swear I’m gonna find you
One of these nights
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
One of these nights
I Can’t Tell You Why
[Verse 1]
Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren’t we the same two people who live
Through years in the dark? Ahh-ah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
[Chorus 1]
And I can’t tell you why
[Verse 2]
When we get crazy, it just ain’t right
(Try to keep your head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don’t have to worry, just hold on tight
(Don’t get caught in your little world)
Cause I love you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing’s wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus 2]
And I can’t tell you why
No, baby, I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
[Chorus 3]
And I can’t tell you why
No, no baby, I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why

Life in the Fast Lane
[Verse 1]
He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
She’d say, “Faster, faster, the lights are turnin’ red”
[Chorus]
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, huh
[Post-Chorus]
Are you with me so far?
[Verse 2]
Eager for action, hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
[Chorus]
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, huh
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Blowin’ and burnin’, blinded by thirst
They didn’t see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst
She said, “Listen, baby, you can hear the engine ring”
“We’ve been up and down this highway, haven’t seen a goddamn thing”
He said, “Call the doctor, I think I’m gonna crash”
“The doctor say he’s comin’, but you gotta pay in cash”
They went rushin’ down that freeway, messed around and got lost
They didn’t care, they were just dyin’ to get off and it was
[Chorus]
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh
[Outro]
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
New Kid in Town
[Verse 1]
There’s talk on the street, it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody’s watching you
People you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new
[Chorus]
Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down
[Verse 2]
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after a while, you’re lookin’ the other way
It’s those restless hearts that never mend (Oh)
[Chorus]
Johnny-come-lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you’re not around?
[Bridge]
There’s so many things you should have told her
But night after night, you’re willing to hold her, just hold her
Tears on your shoulder
[Verse 3]
There’s talk on the street, it’s there to remind you
Doesn’t really matter which side you’re on
You’re walking away and they’re talking behind you
They will never forget you ‘til somebody new comes along
[Chorus]
Where you’ve been lately? There’s a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don’t they?
He’s holding her and you’re still around
[Outro]
Oh, my, my
There’s a new kid in town
Just another new kid in town
(Ooh, hoo) Everybody’s talking ‘bout the
(Ooh, hoo) New kid in town
(Ooh, hoo) Everybody’s walking like the
(Ooh, hoo) New kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t want to hear it
There’s a new kid in town
I don’t want to hear it, ah-ooh
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
Everybody’s talking
There’s a new kid in town
People started walking
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town
Take It to the Limit
[Verse 1]
All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ‘bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running ‘round)
And it’s so hard to change
(Can’t seem to settle down)
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
[Chorus]
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
[Verse 2]
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you’re looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can’t find the door
(Can’t find it anywhere)
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more
[Chorus]
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
[Outro]
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit (Wee-ee)
Take it to the limit (C’mon)
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit (Wee-ee)
Take it to the limit (You gotta)
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit (Wee-ee)
Take it to the limit (Come on and)
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit (Ah-ah)
Take it to the limit (Ah-ah)
Take it to the limit one more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Heartache Tonight
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Somebody’s gonna hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone
There’s nothin’ we can do
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
Make it come out right
[Chorus]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
[Verse 3]
Some people like to stay out late
Some folks can’t hold out that long
But nobody wants to go home now
There’s too much goin’ on
[Verse 4]
This night is gonna last forever
Last all, last all summer long
Some time before the sun comes up
The radio is gonna play that song
[Chorus]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Lord, I know
[Bridge 1]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon’s shinin’ bright
So turn out the light and we’ll get it right
[Chorus]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Heartache, baby
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 1]
Somebody’s gonna hurt someone (somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody’s gonna come undone
There’s nothin’ we can do (everybody)
[Verse 2]
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right
[Chorus]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Let’s go
[Bridge 2]
We can beat around the bushes
We can get down to the bone
We can leave it in the parkin’ lot
But either way
[Chorus]
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know (Lord, I know)
There’ll be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Woo-woo!
{Outro}

The Long Run
[Verse 1]
I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out till the break of day
Oh, that didn’t get it
It was high time I quit it
I just couldn’t carry on that way
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I did some damage
I know it’s true
Didn’t know I was so lonely
Till I found you
[Chorus 1]
You can go the distance
We’ll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
We can handle some resistance
If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
People talking about us
They got nothin’ else to do
When it all comes down
We will still come through
[Chorus 2]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It’s a long run
[Verse 2]
You know I don’t understand
Why you don’t treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby
Couldn’t hold a candle to you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?
[Chorus 3]
Who is gonna make it?
We’ll find out
In the long run (In the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one (Is a strong one)
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Well, we’re scared
But we ain’t shakin’
Kinda bent
But we ain’t breakin’
[Chorus 4]
In the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you
It’s a long run
In the long run
In the long run
[Long Outro]
Gonna find out, ooh fa-fa-fa-find out
Long-long-long-long, long-long-long-long
Ooh, run-run-run, baby, run-run, baby
Long, long, long, long
Witchy Woman
[Verse 1]
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
[Chorus]
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
[Verse 2]
She held me spellbound in the night (Woo-ooh)
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room (Woo-ooh)
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
[Chorus]
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Interlude]
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah (Waahaa)
Ah, oh ah ah
[Verse 3]
Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you brother
She’s been sleeping in the devil’s bed
And there’s some rumors going round, someone’s underground
She can rock you in the night time ‘til your skin turns red
[Chorus]
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Victim of Love
[Verse 1]
What kind of love have you got?
You should be home, but you’re not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
Still makes you thirsty and hot
[Verse 2]
I heard about you and that man
There’s just one thing I don’t understand
You say he’s a liar and he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
[Chorus]
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love, it’s such an easy part
And you know how to play it so well
[Verse 3]
Some people never come clean
Oh, I think you know what I mean, oh
You’re walkin’ the wire, pain and desire
Looking for love in between
[Verse 4]
Tell me your secrets, I’ll tell you mine
A-this ain’t no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends, your been-around-the-world friends
That talk is for losers and fools
[Chorus]
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I’m not, no, I’m not
Victim of love, we’re not so far apart
Show me, what kind of love have you got?
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Victim of love, I see a broken heart
I could be wrong, but I’m not
Victim of love, we’re not so far apart
What kind of love have you got?
[Outro]
Victim of love, you’re just a victim of love
I could be wrong, but I’m not, no, I’m not
Victim of love, now you’re a victim of love
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
What kind of love have you got?
Desperado
[Verse 1]
Desperado
Why don’t you come to your senses?
You’ve been out ridin’ fences
For so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow
[Verse 2]
Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get
[Verse 3]
Desperado
Oh, you ain’t getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They’re driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom
Well that’s just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
[Verse 4]
Don’t your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You’re losing all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes
Away…
[Verse 5]
Desperado
Why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences
Open the gate
It may be rainin’
But there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you
Before it’s too late
Fun for all ages, all summer long!
Hotel California
[Verse 1]
On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
[Verse 2]
There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin’ to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say
[Chorus]
“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here”
[Verse 3]
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes bends, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget
[Verse 4]
So I called up the Captain
“Please bring me my wine”
He said, “We haven’t had that spirit here
Since 1969”
And still those voices are callin’
From far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
[Chorus]
“Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis”
[Verse 4]
Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice, and she said
“We are all just prisoners here
Of our own device”
And in the master’s chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can’t kill the beast
[Verse 5]
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax,” said the night man
“We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave”
