Well, I'm running down the road, tryin' to loosen my load
Because I'm already gone
And I found out a long time ago
How to open doors with just a smile
I can't tell you why
There's talk on the street
And now it seems the whole wide world's gone crazy
Peacocks prance and strut upon the stage
Looking for the good life
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
I can hear it when I stand beside the river
I thought I heard them say
"Take the devil from your mind"
"Please bring me my wine"
I wanna have some fun
It sure feels good sitting here tonight now that I've got mine
The feeling's getting stronger
Tell me can you feel it
The fever is high
She's been sleeping in the devil's bed
All the town-folk call her the cheap one
How was I to know?
All she wants to do is dance
So we danced together, close and slow
Doing the Hollywood Waltz
I feel my heart beating and I wonder
How come you still got his gun in your hand?
He should not go alone
Ev'ry girl's a fork in the road
Something no-one else could see
