venezuela

the water was blue, the beaches were sunny
life was so easy, we were so young
tony had the boat, and rico had the money
and every coupla weeks we'd make a little run
me and tony, we lived for the danger
when we were being bad, it was so much fun

(chorus)
but you can't go back to venezuela
you can't go back to that place in the sun
you can't go back, listen what i tell ya
tony i'm so sorry for what i done


one night i was late, i walk into the pool hall
i see you with that dark haired waitress and i'm watching you dance
oh tony i get mad, and i make a little phone call
i say you are the big deal, that you are the man

(bridge)
blinded by the spot lights, men yelling don't move, drop your guns
but tony he freaks out, he freaks out and he runs

the rain falls down over the harbor
the rain falls down, down on my face
i'm kneeling holding your head in my arms
and i'm cursing this wicked wicked place

costa replaceman

the lock was broken the door was open it was terrible
they tooka the television and the stereio
everything that was anything was gone
don't know how i'm gonna carry one

(chorus)
we're talking about heartbreak
actuarial mistake
material loss, love
we're talkin bout the costa replaceman

didn't know what to do so i calla up the men in blue
they say, "we'll do everything we can to get the merchandise back to you"
no, no, it was old, its time had come
but if you catch the guy who did it, string him up by his thumbs

let go

are you ready for a party? are you ready have fun?
are you ready get crazy? come a little undone
for it's time to be dancin, it's time to wail
cast off moorings and set sail

(chorus)
and just let go, let go
baby, just let go, let go, let go

night time falling and we're goin to the beach
where the moon makes magic, and the stars are in reach
and we'll pass around the bottle, get a little higher
maybe take our shirts off, dance around the fire

(bridge)
easy, take it down low
make it real nice, get real close
bodies swayin, knees get weak
and the horn man step up, and he begin to speak
