"Down At The Reservoir" lyrics

"Down At The Reservoir"

Well, you gotta come down to the reservoir
I don't care who the hell you are
If you're a moving violation or a movie star
You're welcome round here now
If you're an untamed youth or an uncouth dame
You've got little letters after but can't spell your name
I really don't care to me you're the same
If you're hanging round here now
Then you can see how strangely quiet we all are
At the reservoir

You've gotta come down to the reservoir
I don't care who you say you are
If you're a washed-up bum or a gay bourgeois
You're welcome round here now
'Cause at the water's edge we can all lie down
And someone can run and get drinks from the town
But make them sweet for my friends
These clowns who hang around me now

You need your medicine to help the sugar down
So you stick around

You need your medicine to help the sugar down
So stick around

So good to see ya
I know the name but not the face
And if you're looking for action, baby
This ain't the place, yeah

So good to see ya
You've done something different with your hair
Leave your inhibitions at home
And your flick-knife over there

You gotta come down to the reservoir
I don't care who you say you are
If you're a moving violation or a movie star
You're welcome round here now
'Cause at the water's edge we can all lie down
And someone can run and get drinks from the town
But make them sweet for my friends
These clowns who hang around me now
Then you can see how strangely quiet we all are
At the reservoir, the reservoir
