#
Many years ago along the Illinois-Wisconsin Border
There was this Indian tribe
They found two babies in the woods
White babies
One of them was named Elizabeth
She was the fairer of the two
While the smaller and more fragile one was named Marie
Having never seen white girls before
And living on the two lakes known as the Twin Lakes
They named the larger and more beautiful Lake Lake Elizabeth
And thus the smaller lake that was hidden from the highway
Became known forever as Lake Marie
Many years later I found myself talking to this girl
Who was standing there with her back turned to Lake Marie
The wind was blowing especially through her hair
There was four italian sausages cooking on the outdoor grill
And they were ssssssssizzlin'
Many years later we found ourselves in Canada
Trying to save our marriage and perhaps catch a few fish
Whatever came first
That night she fell asleep in my arms
Humming the tune to "Louie Louie'
Aah baby, We gotta go now.
The dogs were barking as the cars were parking
The loan sharks were sharking the narcs were narcing
Practically everyone was there
In the parking lot by the forest preserve
The police had found two bodies
Nay, naked bodies
Their faces had been horribly disfigured by some sharp object
Saw it on the news The tv news in a black and white video
Do you know what blood looks like in a black and white video'
Shadows, Shadows that's what it looks like
All the love we shared between her and me was slammed
Slammed up against the banks of Old Lake Marie Marie

AFull blown silence in an eDmpty room
A former bride and a foArmer groom
A folding table and a foElding chair
A folded hand of pAoker there
All new directions must go eDverywhere
Big round people in a cAool little square
You can't cut it with a bEoat or a plane
Man, it's gonna take a nDew tArain
soc:
A('Cause) You'll be leaving on a nDew train Far away from this wAorld of pain And when you look out your wiEndow you'll see Your home, your baby, and your faAmily No melted ice cubes in a paDper cup Hell, you'll be happy, you'll be aAll shook up The friends that greet you will be sEimple and plain When you step down from that nDew trAaineoc:
ACollected volumes of hiDstory say
Man makes mistakes most evAery day
The half a pound of chEopped ground round
Is still a burger when it gAoes downtown
No faded photographs of yesDterdays
Are in the books that I rAead these days
To fly away from that meEmory town
You must keep both your fAeet on the ground
D A E A

AI'll be leaving on a nDew train
Far away from this woArld of pain
The friends that greet me will be siEmple and plain
When I step down from that nDew tArain

CI'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
GFot my hand in my pocket
I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I ain't Churtin' nobody G
I ain't hurtin' no Cone
ThCere's three hundred men
In the state of Tennessee
FThey're waiting to die
They won't never be free
I ain't huCrtin' nobody

I ain't hurtin' no oCne
SGix million seven hundred thousand
And thirty-three liFghts Con
GYou think someone could take the time
To sit down and listen to the words of Fmy sCong
CAt the beach in Indiana
I was nine years old
FHeard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti"
>From the top of a telephone pole
I wasn't huCrtin' nobody

I wasn't hurtin' no oCne
TChere's roosters laying chickens
And chickens layin' eggs
FFarm machinery eating
People's arms and legs
I ain't huCrtin' nobody

I ain't hurtin' no oCne
GPerfectly crafted popular hit songs never use
The wrFong rhCyme
YGou'd think that waitress could get my order
Right the fFirst tCime

SChe's sitting on the back steps
Just shucking that corn
FThat gal's been grinning
Since the day she was born
She ain't huCrtin' nobody

She ain't hurtin' no oCne
CI used to live in Chicago
Where the cold wind blows
FI delivered more junk mail
Than the junkyard would hold
I wasn't huCrtin' nobody

I wasn't hurtin' no oCne
GYou can fool some of the people part of the time
In a rock and rFoll sCong
GFifty million Elvis Presley Fans
Can't be Fall wrCong
CI'm walkin' down the street
Like Lucky Larue
FGot my hand in my pocket, Baby

EFeeling kind of boney
On the telephoney
Talking to Marconi
Eating Rice-A-Roni
ANominated for Tony
For acting like a phoney
EWatching Twilight Zoney
On my forty-two inch Sony
ThB7is is just a long song
It ain't no poem
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
EIt's like sitting in the kitchen
When the music's really bitchin'
Your nose it starts to itchin'
As you count your old age pension
DAid I forget to mention
The ride that I was hitchin'
To the alEuminum convention
I had such good intentions
KeB7ep you cotton pickin' fingers off my song poem
And leEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
DoAn't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
LEeave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Got a bB7ig ol' dog
A chrome crowbar
I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
E A E B7 A E
EMe and Billy Shakespeare
Stepped out to get a root beer
We sat together so near
People thought we were queer
PunActuated by the big scare
We joined the Air Force right there
To dEefend our country first class
Who couldn't give a rat's ass
DoB7n't you tell me that the White House is my home
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
LeEave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
DoAn't forget your toothbrush
Your hairbrush and your comb
Leave the lights on till you baby gets home.
Got a bB7ig ol' dog
A big iron bar
I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
EIt's like kissing Greta Garbo
With a mouth full of marbles
A
Like trEying to cash a paycheck
In the middle of a train wreck B7
LeEave the lights on
Leave the lights on
ELike trying to get aroundo
In a car made of bondo A
Like spEeaking German lingo
To a dog named DingoB7 - Plotz!!
ELeave the lights on
Leave the lights on
ELike a french-fried quesadilla
In a franchised pizzeria
A
ELeave the lights on
Leave the lights on
B7A big iron bar
I kEeep that mother humper in the back seat of my car
