Oh, morning I wake to the silence in the air Something feels strange, but do I dare Call out your name and find You're not there Old clothes and old photos In messy piles around the room Broken glass, the scent of your perfume Those bitter memories that Seem to loom Lipstick All smudged across the note that says you're gone Not worth what it's written on Why do I feel like such a pawn? Will they find me hanging by dawn? Say, pal Life sure has given you a bag of lemons But when life gives you lemons You sally forth and give life what-for Am I right? Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right And, anyway, I'm over it One, two, three! Oh, free again! I pour a glass and raise it to the air Dance a Russian hopak on a chair And scream "bozhe moy" without a care Oh, free again! Cut away my shackles and my bounds No longer is your chain pulling me down Causing me to choke and finally drown 'Cause at last it's here This life I'm waiting for Pack my "ça va faire" I'm heading out the door Dance among the stars Toss roses to the whores Oh, la, dee, dee Drinks on me Bring on all the dancers Call me "maitre de l'amour" Oh, free again! I pour a glass and raise it to the air Dance a Russian hopak on a chair And scream "bozhe moy" without a care Oh, cover me in green Call a limousine Let's have some fun! Fly to Spain and the Carribean Ah, book me a room in the House of the Rising Sun! 'Cause at last it's here This life I'm waiting for Pack my "ça va faire" I'm heading out the door (Sayonara, see you later, bye!) Dance among the stars Toss roses to the whores I'll fill up my bath with whiskey Man, I'm feeling frisky Slap me silly! Paint me red! Dance until I join the dead! Oh, free again! I pour a glass and raise it to the air Dance a Russian hopak on a chair And scream "bozhe moy" without a care Oh, free again! Cut away my shackles and my bounds No longer is your chain pulling me down Causing me to choke and finally drown Oh, free again! I pour a glass and raise it to the air Dance a Russian hopak on a chair And scream "bozhe moy" without a care Oh, free again! Cut away my shackles and my bounds No longer is your chain pulling me down Oh, Causing me to choke and finally--drown Oh, morning I wake to the silence in the air Something feels strange, but do I dare Call out your name (Mildred!) and find You're not there
