Fooled them, hoping to seem.
Like the sweat of evil.
But the product of greed, and
It’s not a mask, so be honest with me.
They can’t afford to ignore that I’m a disease.
Practical, since we had to be, and
When they were old they came back to me.
And they tried, oh they tried.

And when you follow through and wind up on your back.
Looking at up those stars in the sky those white clouds have turned it black.

Black
Danger Mouse (featuring Norah Jones) (2011)

La la, la la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la.
And the businessmen will shake hands and talk in numbers.
And the princess will wake up from her slumber.
Then all the knights will step forth with their arm bands.
And every stranger you meet in the street will make demands.
So believe no lies, then dry your eyes and realize…
That surprise.

Glad Tidings
Van Morrison (1969), Moondance

I’m on the highway to hell.
No stop signs, speed limit.
Nobody’s gonna slow me down.
Like a wheel, gonna spin it.
Nobody’s gonna mess me round.

Highway to Hell
AC/DC (1979), Highway to Hell

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
Please don’t take him just because you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare.
With flaming locks of auburn hair.
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.

Your smile is like a breath of spring.
Your voice is soft like summer rain.
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene.

Jolene
Dolly Parton (1974), Jolene
