Night Of The Iguana Lyrics - Shine - Joni Mitchell

The tour bus came yesterday 

The driver's a mess today 

It's a dump of a destiny 

But it's got a view... 

Now the kid in the see-through blouse 

Is moving in hard on his holy vows... 

Since the preacher's not dead 

Dead drunk will have to do! 

Night of the iguana 

The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet 

Night of the iguana 

Can you hear the castanets? 

The widow is dancing 

Down on the beach

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

The starlight is steaming 

He'd like to be dreaming 

His senses are screaming 

Not to be denied... 

But if the spell of the night should win 

He could lose his bus 

For the same sweet sin 

That took his church from him 

Then how will he survive? 

Night of the iguana 

The jasmine is so mercilessly sweet 

Night of the iguana 

Can you hear the castanets? 

It's the widow and her lover-boys 

Down on the beach 

Photos 

The night is so fragrant 

These women so flagrant 

They could make him a vagrant 

With the flick of a shawl. 

The devil's in sweet sixteen 

The widow's good looking but she gets mean 

He's burning like Augustine 

With no help from God at all
