Rick Steffen Black Coconuts Lyrics

Verse 1
It was an acid rain - on lover'S lane
A long. - deferred campaign ...
I could feel the pain -I made A bad mistake
I did A double take..... Bc.....

Verse 2
It was cocaine chess - played with the best
A wing., A leg, and A prayer....,
Driftin down the road - lookin old I'm told
A mo-Jo hand pointed the way(bc)...
Chorus 1
When the sun came up - I fell down on my knees to pray
Nuthin I could do ...- nuthin I could say.
It was plain to see - things weren'T goin my way....
Black coconuts {{{{.- black coconuts.. Because
Verse 3
It was freezin cold -Took its toll
I guess it wasn'T - meant to be
In the wrong zone - can't leave it alone -...
If I had only known - where it would leadbecause bc
Chorus 2 Imagination - was 'Runnin dry
It did no good - to ask why..
If you give A man enough rope - he'Ll hang on his own
If A dog is kicked enough - he'Ll choke on A bone

(Em) black coconuts {{{{ black coconuts
Black coconuts {{{{ black coconuts.
BcBc.... Bc etc..... Fade
Verse 4
On the beach - wit my tribe
To drown the pain - and be free
Rum flowin.. - like the tide.
In the end - with no guarantees because.
Tween the rocks and the sea - with no guarantees
Chorus 3
Tryin to reckon .....- with greed & desire
A choice between.. - the pan or the fire
If ya throw enough stuff on the wall - its bound to stick
If A man screws up enough - he'Ll run out of tricks
Because because because because ...
