Good And Evil
Caught you walkin' like a gangster
Saw you grabbin' the controls
Now you're almost outta batteries
You got a sweater much too small
Pokin' at your navel
Pointin' your finger too
You say your lips don't even stick together
When the, the dust comes up
Blowin' 'cross the plains
Pictures are fallin' in and outta their frames, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned loose, and they turned into people, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned loose, and they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now they're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people (oh)
I have seen you do things backward
You don't believe a word I say
Now you're holdin' sticky paper
Money never fades away
Talkin' like a monster
Smellin' like a baby
You've got a head like a bowl full of cherries, now
Don't be surprised
You got what it takes
Messin' round like monkeys and apes, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now they're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people (oh)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Saw you grabbin' the controls
Now you're almost outta batteries
You got a sweater much too small
Pokin' at your navel
Pointin' your finger too
You say your lips don't even stick together
When the, the dust comes up
Blowin' 'cross the plains
Pictures are fallin' in and outta their frames, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned loose, and they turned into people, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned loose, and they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now they're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people (oh)
I have seen you do things backward
You don't believe a word I say
Now you're holdin' sticky paper
Money never fades away
Talkin' like a monster
Smellin' like a baby
You've got a head like a bowl full of cherries, now
Don't be surprised
You got what it takes
Messin' round like monkeys and apes, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people, singing
Good and evil, good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people
You know that roses and lilacs are funky too?
Let 'em go at it, let's see what they do
Now they're wrestlin' with the forces of good and evil
They turned 'em loose, and they turned into people (oh)
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
