Red Accordion

[Intro]
Recording National Steel, take one

[Verse 1]
Don't stand in my way
I'm taking these legs for a spin 'round the block
And I'm gonna look up all those friends I forgot
'Cause I know there's a laugh in my throat that got caught
At a stoplight just down the street

[Verse 2]
Don't stand in my way
Well I know London Bridges are all falling down
And it's gonna be hard to find a way across town
But I'm gonna jump off this old merry-go-round
And I'm flagging a taxi

[Bridge]
Don't listen the din rising behind you
Look at life like a train wreck and one finds you
Light a match and your fear of fire will
Burn you down

[Verse 3]
Don't stand in my way
I'm gonna climb up and see if this table top spins
I'm gonna haul out my old red accordion
'Cause you can't play a polka on ten violins
Who cares if I don't know how

[Verse 4]
Don't stand in my way
'Cause they don't make a scotch tape to patch up this hole
And if God didn't want us to he wouldn't have made rock 'n' roll
Better put on your coat 'cause it's sure getting cold
And we'll take it all outside

[Bridge]
Pay attention to the moon rising behind you
Look at life like a tragedy and it will blind you
I'll make a fool of myself maybe that will
Remind you how
