Valhallas

Lyrics

Bow and arrow, and
 No wind
 High up in dawn light where everything begins
 No direction
 A steady drone
 Over the treetops, put my knuckle on the sun
 Oh Mama, I
 Cannot say that
 I'm not affected by your orange-blossom ways
 I took aim, and
 Spoke low
 Backed up to the West and let that little arrow go
 Valhalla
 I wanna name ya'
 Old relations in the valley wanna claim ya'
 There's no pill
 To satisfy
 Your need to work and my need not to deny
 I can moan like a dog, and
 Kick like a mule
 Say I've been sleeping, well that
 Wouldn't be true
 And I'm hooked like a fish
 On a telephone line
 Rounders and powders and fine Spanish wine
 ♪
 Oh darling
 Still awake, the
 Shadows on the wall where the dawn wants to break
 This old mattress, where
 We used to lie
 Heaven knows it's empty, I'm still on my side
 Oh Mama, I
 Cannot say
 I'm not affected by those old-fashioned ways
 Some are blood
 Some are born
 Something so sweet about the air back home
 Some name it
 Some blame it
 Some would rather see it go, while others want to claim it
 And every jewel that
 You find
 Every glass you drain and every watch you wind
 I can moan like a dog, and
 Kick like a mule
 Say I've been sleeping, well that
 Wouldn't be true
 When I'm hooked like a fish
 On a telephone line
 Rounders and powders and fine Spanish wine
 ♪
 Bow and arrow
 No wind
 High up in the dawn light where everything begins
 I took aim, and
 Spoke low
 Backed up to the West and let that little arrow go
