WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

I'm riding shotgun down the avalancheTumbling and falling down the avalancheSo be quiet tonight the starsshine brightOn this mountain of new fallen snowBut I will raise up my voice intothe voidYou have left me nowhere to goI love you so much and it's so bizarreA mystery that goes on and on and onThis is the best thing and the verymost hardAnd we don't get alongAfter countless appeals we keepspinning our wheelsOn this mountain of new fallen snowSo I let go the catch and we areover the edgeYou have left me nowhere to goI'm riding shotgun down the avalancheSometimes you make me lose my willto liveAnd just become a beacon for your soulBut the past is stronger than my willto forgiveForgive you or myself, I don't knowI'm riding shotgun down the avalancheTumbling and falling down the avalancheSo be quiet tonight be sure tostep lightlyOn this mountain of new fallen snowBut I will raise up my voice intothe voidYou have left me nowhere to goI'm riding shotgun down the avalanche

  1. runobodyii says I downloaded Steady On not long ago because it is so rare that I actually think to pull out my old cassettes and have a listen. I also used to have Fat City, then she was in the Top 40 with a song I didn't much care for and I pretty much lost track. I am told that her latest is as good as anything she's ever done, but I haven't gotten around to listening yet.
