	Story Behind the Song The actor Robert Ryan performed in such films as Crossfire and Billy Budd. In a perfect world, he'd have played Ahab in John Huston's _Moby Dick_. This song isn't about him, although his image inspired it. Lyrics Robert Ryan Moods He's got eyes like two little bits of coal Dark smudges on the windows to his soul And there's always something smoldering just below He's got eyes like two little bits of coal Now he's in one of his Robert Ryan moods One more drink, man, I wish you would Don't try talking sense 'cause it won't do any good When he's in one of his Robert Ryan moods He knows it's wrong, and that just makes it worse Has a way with words, and knows how to make 'em hurt Even when he says a prayer, it sounds more like a curse He knows it's wrong, and that just makes it worse Did two hitches back in the second war Those s.o.b.'s never knew what they were in for He's not the type to tell you what he saw When he was fighting in the second war So he's out getting stinko with some friends And if he ever bothers coming home again He'll be reeking of cheap gin and trying to make ammends When he's finished getting stinko with his friends He's a hothead and there's no use to deny it He'll promise next time that he's really gonna try Do you believe it? Well, it's a lie He's a hothead and there's no use to deny it He doesn't mean to take it out on you But he's in one of his Robert Ryan moods You don't know how he's tried, how it tears him up inside Every time he takes it out on you He has his bad days, he has his good Just watch out for those Robert Ryan moods ©1999.
