Bombs Away
Bob Weir
Bombs away
I guess I'm back in love again
Well hey and around we go
This will bring me ruin
Though I suppose it's pleasing
I've changed the eyes I gaze in
But she's just another girl
I need more than a trade-in
Guess I'll have to change the world
Strike up the band
I believe I have this dance
Hey raise that glass again my friend
Yes, I know I'm charming
But she's so easy
I've changed the tune I dance to
In this gay old social whirl
But if I get a chance to
I might just change the world
It's just the same old movie
Been playing here for years
I could use a change of scenery
But when I get there I'm still here
Coming soon
Hey another day in paradise
At a theatre near you
And they'll be showing it forever
So let them keep parading
Give them all batons to twirl
For me the splendor's fading
Yeah, I'll have to change the world
Yes it's still the same old movie
And I seen it all before
Guess one more run through won't undo me
Hell, I'll just watch the show some more
Hey some more, yeah some more
Sit back and watch it some more
Guess I'll just watch the show some more
Hey some more, yeah some more
But I'd like to know what for
Hey don't you worry what for
Bombs away
Well I guess I'm back in love again
Hey round and round we go
[etc]
