Things

Elsewhere in the Temple the llamas are gearing up
To assault Tiger Mountain when the sun comes up

We sat around whispering in the candlelight
Missing a game plan for the night
Learnin' about the difference between North and South
Keep your gun in your pocket and your tongue in your mouth

And you'll be doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

A month is a Saturday – Wednesday's a week
I saw the way you looked at her Charlie Brown – good grief
She pulled you into the shadows and taught you how to love
Patted you on the head and gave you a shove

And you were doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

The sexual exuberance of a concubine
Checks my carburetor one more time
With the passion of a thoroughbred and the sensitivity of a moose
I rarely make a move unless I've got some proof

That I'll be doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead

You live in Paris, I live in France
Things are expensive when you live first class
I'll learn Latin, you'll learn Greek
And when you've got a minute, we'll meet in Crete

And we'll be doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
Doing it, doing the things
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead
The thing you do in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
Doing it in Denver when you're dead
