Bookends Lyrics

She must have lost her way
Posting a poster of Poncho and Cisco
One California day

She said she believes in Robin Hood
And brotherhood and colors of green and gray
And all you can do is laugh at her
Doesn't anybody know how to pray?

Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
Arizona, have another look at the world, my my
Arizona, cut off your Indian braids
Arizona, hey, won'tcha go my way?

Mmm, strip off your pride
You're acting like a teenybopper, run away child
And scrape off the paint
From the face of a little town saint

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
