Paul Ryan-Sober Phobia.From the Scorpio Rising album,Words and Music by Paul Ryan.Please visit Barry's web site barryryan.net

When you're almost down and you're feeling low
and you're listening to a mister blackbird on the radio
don't let it alarm you-i beg you don't worry
it's nothing that Big D can't work out
i beg you listen and do not worry
just let it roll.

And quite frankly-i'll tell you this
it don't take no genius to get pissed
but you do not worry-it won't alarm you
it's nothing that Kissinger can't work out
so do not listen and do not shout it out
oh just let it be.

And when you're thinking-in a crowd
and you can keep your head about ya
when all the shouting loud
then let me tell you-you don't alarm you
right deep inside your soul
and let me-even listen
don't help me no help from rock and roll.

Ah come on Big D-just let it be
come on Big D-just let it be
tell me can't you see
let it be.
