Fireball (deluxe edition) lyrics

(Included on the 25th anniversary edition of Fireball.)

Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Don't you know the sun is shining
I'm sure trying, I ain't crying
My feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery

Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom, oh

No more walking or fast talking

I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind
no doubt about it, she looks so fine.
The best girl that I ever had,
but she gonna make feel so bad,
yeah, make me feel so bad.

She got lovin' like quick sand,
only tickle and touching my hand.
Blow my mind then I'm in so deep, me in,
I can't stand it yeah,
I can't sleep, yeah.

Na na na...

Hush, hush,
I thought I heard her calling my name now.

The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand upon your hill and behop all around you
They wonder where you're from oh yeah they wonder where I found you
Oh my love it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way

I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight

The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand upon your hill and behop all around you
They wonder where you're from oh yeah they wonder where I found you
Oh my love it's a long way where you're from, it's a long way

I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight

I don't mind just what you say
I never heard you baby never heard you anyway yeah
I don't care what you do
Just so long yeah it ain't me and you
Sly, sly... Ouh like a demon's eye

Everything's good, I said everything's fine
You don't know, don't know it's the end of your time
How does it feel to be turned away
I've known it baby almost every day
Sly, sly... Mmm like a demon's eye

No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put the evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule

Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen

Really hate the running, really hate the game
Looking at them all, I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter although they're getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face and trying to get in
People say that we're to blame
I say no no no it's just the game

Must we let them fool us No no no
Have we got our freedom No no no
Is it getting better No no no

Well I stood under your bedroom window throwing up a brick
No one came, I threw one more, that really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head, he said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl ha threw me in the can
You're a farmer's daughter, you're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get the kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water

I'm crying - I'm dying

I can see what's wrong with me, it's in my head
I can't see what's gonna be as I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood, I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born on some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
The fools pass laughing still

There can be bad blood in all and I can see it's in my brain
