Hard Candy
In the airport lounge she sat in a Marlena Dietrich hat
The grandest lady I had ever seen
Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes
So I asked her if she'd like some company
In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots
I must have been a sight for her to see
But she said, "Pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair
A more unlikely pair you'll never see
I was Mogen David wine, she was Chablis fifty-nine
One More Time to Live
Verse 1(a)
Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye
(b)
One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldly rhymes
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time...
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these

Verse 2(a)
Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sign a sigh
(b)
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still permit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
