4.Vertical Expression (of Horizontal Desire)

When she asked me to dance I said, 'I have two left feet.
And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
And she said, 'Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on
fire.
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step while we romanced
And when the music got fast
We just held to each other and slow danced.

--- Instrumental ---

I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the
light
She said, 'Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars
retire.
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire...

7.(Don't Put Me In) The Ex Files

Well I stumbled in at four A.M. this morning
Just as quiet as an elephant can be.
She met me with my suitcase and this warning
She said be a good ol' boy and explain this to me.

I said darling, don't put me in the Ex-Files.
>I was< out all night and hangin' with the boys.
Playin' poker drinkin' whiskey >yeah and< smokin' big cigars
Shootin' the bull - and a-makin' lots of noise.

-Short BRIDGE-

Well she let me off the hook, when I said that I'd be good
And I headed for the Kit-Kat on the fly.
I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
when she came in through the door.
and said you're gonna do what I tell you
Oh your lyin' eyes.

I said Honey, don't put me in the Ex-Files.
I was out all night and hangin' with the boys.
Playin' poker drinkin' whiskey >yeah and< smokin' big cigars
Shootin' the bull - and a-makin' lots of noise.

-BRIDGE-

Last night I dreamed a flyin' saucer took me up in space
And them Aliens partied more than the Law allowed.
And this mornin' all my things were in the yard
all over the place
And I woke up in the Doghouse somehow.

- Darling, don't put me in the Ex-Files.
I was out all night and hangin' with the boys.
Playin' poker drinkin' whiskey and smokin' big cigars
Shootin' the bull - and a-makin' lots of noise.

I said darling, don't put me in the Ex-Files.
I was out all night and hangin' with the boys.
Playin' poker drinkin' whiskey and smokin' big cigars
Shootin' the bull - and a-makin' lots of noise.
Shootin' the bull - and a-makin' lots of noise.

10.Fountain of Middle Age

Well they told you that your life begins at forty
Well you know that's partly true...but mostly lies

And then they all come around to wish you a happy mild-stone
You just smile at them through the tear drops...in your eyes
Now you relate more to your parents then your children

Why your free spirit sits in shackles in it's cage
And you tell them all your fine
You don't worry about the passing of time
Mean while you're looking for the fountain of middle age

All the work you done finally start to pay off
Some of your dreams at last are come'n home
You and the wife have found some understanding
And your nestled deep into that comfort zone

Aye you wear old jeans and you bought a new corvette
And you wish your life would stand still at this stage
But when you look back on your youth
You know it slaps you with the truth
You're just looking for the fountain of middle age

Ohh you don't want to be any younger
Not unless you could know then what you know now
Noo you don't want to get any older
You just want to stay in limbo somehow

Well you heard them say..you ain't gonna take it with ya
It's enough to send a sane man into a rage
You could leave it to the kids
Or you can spend it all right here

On looking for the fountain of middle age
Now if you find that secret Jack..you be sure to call me back
We're all looking for the fountain of middle age

12.Vertical Expression (of Horizontal Desire) (feat. Freddy Fender)

When she asked me to dance I said, No No....'I have two left
feet.'
And the she took my hand and whispered a song so sweet
And she said, 'Hold me as close as you can 'til my bodies on
fire.'
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

Nuestro amor se contó*
como el agua sobre el acero
y no puedo explicar
la manera como te quiero,
y la música toca
el calor aumenta más alto.
Es una vértica expresión,
un deseo horizontal.

(Given below is the english transalation of the above )
So we moved like water bein' poured over polished steel
And I really can't translate the way she made me feel
And the music played on and the mercury just went higher
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.

We did the samba, the mambo
The tango, the two-step while we romanced
Con el compás abrazando
nos fuimos sin saber por qué.

(Given below is the english transalation of the above )
And when the music got fast
We just held to each other and slow danced.

I took nothing for granted but I wished I could stay all night
Y al llegar a su casa ella apagó la luz.

(Given below is the english transalation of the above )
And as we walked in to her place she reached out to dim the
light

She said, 'Dance with me darlin' 'til the moon and the stars
retire.'
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire.
es una vértica expression un deseo horizontal.

(Given below is the english transalation of the above )
It's just a vertical expression of horizontal desire...
