01: Carnival World - Jimmy Buffett Info

Notices

Off to See the Lizard is the 18th studio album by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. Initially to be called Stranger than Fishing, it was released in June 1989 as MCA 6314 and was produced by Elliot Scheiner and Buffett. The album is the first to feature much of the current Coral Reefer Band. Following the release of this album, Buffett paused his normal output of one album every year or two and did not release another album until 1994's Fruitcakes.

All but one of the album's songs were written or co-written by Buffett. "Mermaid in the Night" was written by Coral Reefer Band members Roger Guth and Jay Oliver. "Boomerang Love" also appeared on the soundtrack to the 1989 movie Always. Buffett recorded a live version of "The Pascagoula Run" for his 2003 greatest hits collection Meet Me in Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection.

Off to See the Lizard reached #57 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The song "Take Another Road" hit #18 Adult Contemporary.

My father always said that there’s no free ride
You’ve got to make a sacrifice
With so many Prophets on the Lord’s side
Even your soul has got a price
But talk is cheap it takes money to buy your freedom
And the tax man’s knockin’ at your door

Spend it while you can
Money’s contraband
You can’t take it with you when you go
Spend it while you can
Before it’s taken from your hand
There’s no free ride in this carnival world

Too many hawkers on this travelin’ show
Everybody’s got something to sell
Bootleg Swatches, cardboard Gucci gear
Watch your step at the wishing well

What’s mine is mine
If it’s only one thin dime
My cash has always meant to flow

Spend it while you can
Money’s contraband
You can’t take it with you when you go
Spend it while you can
Before it’s taken from your hand
There’s no free ride in this carnival world

But talk is cheap it takes money to buy your freedom
And the tax man’s knockin’ at your door

Spend it while you can
Money’s contraband
You can’t take it with you when you go
Spend it while you can
Before it’s taken from your hand
There’s no free ride in this carnival world

There’s no free ride in this carnival world
