Leon Russell, Randy Newman, Ragtime
Lyrics:
Every time I open my eyes I see an eagle with its talons around a Mother Goose’s throat
And every time I open my mouth, you shove a pistol down – no matter how I try to chew I choke.
But life is easy
oh-so-breezy
walk in the park for you
You can’t afford the bus, but you can’t get mugged with no loot.
Every time I close my eyes I see my city shrinkin’ while the neon swan’s gone streakin’ from the shore
And every time I take a lick, I stand right up and have a sip, and kick that rusty can on down the road.
But life is easy
oh-so-breezy
walk in the park for you
You can’t afford the bus, but you can’t get mugged with no loot.
