The Family Affair

There's a starry oasis, in the middle of the sand

Where the old cantina lights are shinning brightly

There's a starry old nomad from the city by the lake

Sits enthroned in the splendour of the king

And the stars shine so bright and they just come out at

night

And they sparkle in the nomad's kingly hair

They'll be frank as the dean who each evening makes the

scene

In his ultra cosy family affair

To his sons, God the father is the daddy of them all

To his subject's he's the lord of iron and fire

To the tired weary traveller he's the bringer of the

light

He's their paid benefactor and supplier

And the stars shine anew and they shine for me and you

And he smiles upon the silver and we will share

He brings youth to the old and the promises of gold

In his ultra cosy family affair

Oh see the light in his eyes

See the gun in his hand

It's for you

Oh see the whites of their eyes

See the boys in the band

And the cases they hold make them bold

Cause they're calling the tune

And the stars shine anew and they shine for me and you

And he smiles upon the silver and we will share

And his smile really mean, is the silver really green

In his ultra cosy family affair
