You've got eyes like Jesus

But you speak with a viper's tongue

We were just sitting around on earth

Where the hell did you come from?

With your lady dressed in deerskin

And an amazing way about her

When are you going to realize

That you just can't live without her?

Take it easy

Take it light

But take it

Your lady gets her power

From the goddess and the stars

You get yours from the trees and the brooks

And a little from life on Mars

And I've known you for a good long while

And would you kindly tell me, mister

How in the name of the Father and the Son

Did I come to be your sister?

Take it easy

Take it light

But take it

You've done dirt to lifelong friends

With little or no excuses

Who endowed you with the crown

To hand out these abuses?

Your lady knows about these things

But they don't put her under

Me, I know about them, too

And I react like thunder

Take it easy

Take it light

But take it

I know you are surrounded

By parasites and sychophants

When I come to see you

I dose up on coagulants

Because when you hurl that bowie knife

It's going to be when my back is turned

Doing some little deed for you

And baby, will I get burned

Take it easy

Take it light

But take it

So little brother when you come

To knock on my door

I don't want to bring you down

But I just went through the floor

My love for you extends through life

And I don't want to waste it

But honey, what you've been dishing out

You'd never want to taste it

And if I had the nerve

To either risk it or to break it

I'd put our friendship on the line

And show you how to take it

Take it easy

Take it light

But take it
