Valhallas

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bow and arrow, no wind High up in the dawn light, where everything begins No direction, but a steady drum Over the treetops, put my knuckle on the sun [Refrain] Oh, mama, I cannot say that I'm not affected by your orange blossom ways Took aim, and spoke low Backed up to the West and let that little arrow go [Pre-Chorus] The Valhalla, wanna name you Old relations in the valley want to claim you There's no pill that can satisfy Your need to work and my need not to deny [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Oh, darling, still awake There are shadows on the wall where the dawn wants to break This old mattress, where we used to lie Heaven knows it's empty and I'm still on my side [Refrain] Oh, mama, I cannot say I am not affected by those old-fashioned ways There's some blood, some bone Something so sweet about the air back home [Pre-Chorus] Some name it, some blame it Some would rather see it go, while others wanna claim it Every jewel that you find Every glass you drain and every watch you wind [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Bow and arrow, no wind High up in the dawn light where everything begins Took aim, spoke low Backed up to the West and let that little arrow go
