Anyone For Tennis Lyrics by Eric Clapton

Crossroads

0

[Verse 1]
Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
An auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice
[Chorus]
Anyone for tennis, would not that be nice?
[Verse 2]
And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
While the beggars stain the pavements with fluorescent Christmas cheer
And the Bentley-driving guru is putting up his price
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
And you can tell they are all the same underneath the pretty lies
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too
And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice
[Chorus]
