Prine John Common Sense

I wish, I hope, I wonder, where you're at sometimes Is your back against the wall or just across the line? Have you been standing in the rain reciting

There's a rainbow of babies Draped over the graveyard Where all the dead sailors Wait for their brides And the cold bitter snow Has strangled each grass

Forbidden Jimmy Has got a mighty sore tooth From biting too many dimes In a telephone booth He's got half of his boot lace Tied to the dial Well thank

Like a bolt of lightning, like a bolt of thunder Like a cloudy day, down at the zoo Like a drowning man that will never go under That close to you, yeah

, it don't make much sense That common sense, don't make no sense no more It don't make much sense, that common sense Don't make no sense no more

like you They got mesmerized By lullabies And limbo danced In pairs Please lock that door It don't make much sense That common sense Don't make no sense

Exactly like you They got mesmerized By lullabies And limbo danced In pairs Please lock that door It don't make much sense That common sense Don't make no sense

I was sitting in a diner With a girl named Flo She wouldn't say yes But she couldn't say no She said "Darling, Can I get a middle man?" She was engaged

Chorus: Way down Way down it must be I can't stop this misery It must be way down Spring is just a smile away Laughing at a summer day Turn around Look
