TAILS AND SUNSETS 99 in B 1 it was shimmering light came right up off the lake shone into the middle of the night as I hid in a canoe she grabbed me tight the blood rushed out I'm turning white must have been quite a sight from me to you in a western way we travel through the day chasing tails and sunsets 2 then I could not believe my eyes how the Rockies started to rise from a thousand miles of nothing but plains then we climb and climb into the sky look at that slope I ain't never tried to go up or down something that steep in a western way we travel through the day chasing tails and sunsets in an eastern style we look and smile and say no regrets 3 when we reached the peak we all got out walked through the clouds nothin to see but what we found up there there was a thousand people on a mountain top dancing and singing to pop the top hoping that this beat would never drop chorus 4 it was a stroke a genius when it occurred to me that I could stretch out my legs and sleep comfortably if I stuffed myself in a over head baggage and then that time when we bounced a hundred feet up off the ice everybody knuckles was cold and white right afterward everyone was real nice chorus 2x tails and sunsets, chasing tails and sunsets oh chasing tails and sunsets oh

Factory Girl 02:11
FACTORY GIRL The Rolling Stones Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere We get buses everywhere Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats Her zipper's broken down the back Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night She's a sight for sore eyes Waiting for a factory girl Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet She ain't come out yet Waiting for a factory girl

about
