One Eyed Willy (One Eyed Jane)
Lyrics
Looking at the bright side, is looking pretty dim
I cut down the family tree, and go out on a limb
Waiting in the desert, I think I'll take a swim
Standing by the prison, the sign says "Come on In"
I've got a good lawyer. He claims his name is "Joe"
I think it's an alias, but what the hell do I know?
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
Stuck here on this island, washed up on the shore
I could use a new lover, maybe I should go on tour
The concert halls are empty. The airports all are too
Maybe I should write a song; nothing much else to do
Standing on this corner, yo yo in my hand
Things are not going, exactly how I planned
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
My wife and children hate me; The critics all do too
But the mosquitoes love me, like a cow loves to moo
Staring at the ceiling. Staring at the walls
Waiting for the pizza. Making phony phone calls
The landlord is so angry, 'Cause I can't pay his bill
If the tax man doesn't get me, then Corona will
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
Looking at the bright side, is looking pretty dim
I cut down the family tree, and go out on a limb
Waiting in the desert, I think I'll take a swim
Standing by the prison, the sign says "Come on In"
I've got a good lawyer. He claims his name is "Joe"
I think it's an alias, but what the hell do I know?
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
Stuck here on this island, washed up on the shore
I could use a new lover, maybe I should go on tour
The concert halls are empty. The airports all are too
Maybe I should write a song; nothing much else to do
Standing on this corner, yo yo in my hand
Things are not going, exactly how I planned
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
My wife and children hate me; The critics all do too
But the mosquitoes love me, like a cow loves to moo
Staring at the ceiling. Staring at the walls
Waiting for the pizza. Making phony phone calls
The landlord is so angry, 'Cause I can't pay his bill
If the tax man doesn't get me, then Corona will
One-eyed Willy (One-eyed Willy) One-eyed Jane (One-eyed Jane)
Feeling kind of silly. Standing in the rain
They had a lot of money, but they threw it all away
And if it was sunny, they'd go in and play
