Red Accordion

Lyrics

[Intro] Recording National Steel, take one [Verse 1] Don't stand in my way I'm taking these legs for a spin 'round the block And I'm gonna look up all those friends I forgot 'Cause I know there's a laugh in my throat that got caught At a stoplight just down the street [Verse 2] Don't stand in my way Well I know London Bridges are all falling down And it's gonna be hard to find a way across town But I'm gonna jump off this old merry-go-round And I'm flagging a taxi [Bridge] Don't listen the din rising behind you Look at life like a train wreck and one finds you Light a match and your fear of fire will Burn you down [Verse 3] Don't stand in my way I'm gonna climb up and see if this table top spins I'm gonna haul out my old red accordion 'Cause you can't play a polka on ten violins Who cares if I don't know how [Verse 4] Don't stand in my way 'Cause they don't make a scotch tape to patch up this hole And if God didn't want us to he wouldn't have made rock 'n' roll Better put on your coat 'cause it's sure getting cold And we'll take it all outside [Bridge] Pay attention to the moon rising behind you Look at life like a tragedy and it will blind you I'll make a fool of myself maybe that will Remind you how
