VAN MORRISON lyrics - Just Like Greta

(Van Morrison)



Some days it gets completely crazy

And I feel like howling at the moon

Then sometimes it feels so easy

Like I was born with a silver spoon



Other times you just can't reach me

Seems like I've got a heart of stone

Guess I need my solitude

And I have to make it on my own



Well I guess I'm going A. W.O. L.

Disconnect my telephone

Just like Greta Garbo

I want to be alone



Need to make some real connection

Baby something's just got to give

'Cos I've been too long in exile

I've been grinding at the mill



Too long to decode all the secrets

Have to get some elbow room

Most people think that everything

Is just what they assume



Well I know I'm going A. W.O. L.

Tell everyone I'm not at home

Just like Greta Garbo

I just want to be alone



Well I'm going out to L. A.

I wanna get my business done

Then I'm going on to Vegas

Then I'm going on the run



If anybody asks you have you seen me

Please just tell them no

'Cos I'm living on the outside

And I have nowhere to go



Well I guess I'm going A. W.O. L.

Disconnect my telephone

Just like Greta Garbo

I just want to be alone



I just want to be alone

Disconnect my telephone

Just like Greta Garbo

I just want to be alone
