Lyrics for Cyprus Avenue (Live)

Well, I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue Well, I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue Conquered in a car seat And I'm lookin' straight at you And all the little girls rhyme something On the way back home from school All the little girls rhyme something (something) On the way back home from school And the leaves fall one by one by One by one by one by one by one by one Call the autumn-time a fool And my tongue gets t–t–t– Every t–time I jus– every t– And my insides shake Just like a leaf on a tree Railroad If I go walkin' by the railroad With my cherry, with my cherry wine If I go walkin' by the railroad, huh With my cherry, with my cherry wine If I pass the rumbling station Where the lonesome Lonesome engine drivers pine Wait a minute, wait a minute, catch up Yonder come my lady She got rainbow ribbons in her hair Yonder come my lady Rain-a-bow, rain-a-bow, rain-a-bow, rain-a-bow Ribbons in her hair Six white horses and a chariot In a procession And I'm caught one more time Way up on the avenue And I'm caught (and I'm caught) Way up on the avenue And we're extremely wasted While tryin' to get back to you And nobody, nobody Stompin' on me, baby Did you sayin' France? (yes) You sayin' France? (France) Are you sayin' France? (France) You gonna say I'm France? (France) With me whistlin' And you were standin' there And you were standin' there (where?) And you were standin' There And you were standin' In all your revelation In all your revelation And all your revelation And all your And all your And all your Revelation And all your And all your revelation Waitin' me to come Waitin' me to come Waitin' me to come Wantin' me to come Wantin' me to come Wantin' me to come and I said Babe, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, please, please, please Please, babe-yeah, please, please I said Baby Baby I said Mama (mama) Alright (Turn it on) It's turned on already I said (woo) Over there? (No, no, no) (Over here) It's too late to stop now
