Standing on the Window Of My Mind,
see the lovely things I left behind
standing on the brink of all time,
we'll all be angels in heaven by and by

Standing on the Windows Of My M-m-m-m-mind,
we'll all be angels in heaven by and by

Coming n-north to Houston, crossing El Rio Grande,
caught by the border guards like Vietnam
