Well it's got nothing to do with anything that is real
you just believe in it and it's true
You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint
you can dream it and see it through
You will live to see a sea of lights
sparking on the face of a pearl
Climb your own peak
find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Now you've been building for yourself a cool place in the sand
you're thinking that it's mighty fine
You've got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth
but it's your head, it ain't mine
I've got a madman of my own to contend with
cursing in the cave of my skull
Turn the other cheek
find a new streak
Get yourself along to the world party (party!)
Well I heard a rumour of a golden age
somewhere back along the line
Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or
heard it in a spell
It was something to do with the sign of the times
and the only thing that I remember
Is a summer like a pretty girl
who shimmers and shines
Moving in time
shaking to the beat of the heart of the world
Party (party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party! party!)
Put up your lighter (x4)
hook
Party, all night, fiesta, forever(x4)
(Big Gipp)
This be a party, for the whole world
Travel cross seas like that girl
We in the mind altering thangs
Couldn't leave it alone, we offered it a loan
Watch the porch jump straight to the ceiling
Hear the party drums beat for beat
So, some want us to leave, but they want more, the time came to sang
Peace, they brought the rain, to wash away the pain
So we all can party in the streets
(Cee-Lo)
Well, I don't know about you
But we all trying to play dumb
But don't you worry about me
I promise you we gonna get free
Just party
hook
(Khujo)
See your eyes be burgundy, and your body drop
Don't even look at your clock,? skeet on your vest?
Or get up and watch the hands fly, in the middle of December
I wash the wife-beaters, heaters on full blast
With some? we like scavengers circling your block
While you do that your? paper drop?
You better hop jump and skip, before we dip
Because we falling through you, like the Bloods and Crips
Gotta close your eyes and start dreaming
Everybody life got a little meaning
Got to spread your wings and start flying
If you living don't be worrying bout' dying
Just party
hook
(Cee-Lo)
Whether fast or slow, face it, pace it and let yourself go
Might not get a chance to do it no mo'
Let the music take your mind, leave the worries of the world behind
Oh, such a beatiful sight for the blind
It remind me of a celebration
One nation under one rule
Its that you ain't got nothing to prove
Ohh, let the music move you, and sooth you, like its supposed to
Love is life, life is worth loving
Love is life, life is worth living (x2)
hook
(T-Mo)
T-Mo cuts the record down to the bone
And now we back rapping on the microphone
I say signing autographs for little kids delight me
We can't help but be some stars in the shining night
See I was raised in the SWATS by my mom and pop
To be a cold little brother that you can't stop
On top of the charts, I'm a ladies man
The type of brother with heart, weak suckers can't stand
Cause I wanna be free, hear my spirit it's the clearest
Can you hear it in the gospel
I came down here cause I gotta believe
Don't follow me, I say I need someone to take me to the Rave
Can you hear the music?
It's coming from the forest
Where we used to live
Can you hear the laughing?
Coming from the clearing
At the bottom of the hill
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
Climb the hill and see the creatures
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
Run about their world
(World party)
How can I say, no?
(No, party)
You know I've got to go
(Go, party)
Go to a world party
And tonight I'm going to ask a dolphin
See if you can find a tiger
Whose eyes are still alight
With your little head
In his mouth
Everything's gonna be alright
I hear there's going to be a harvest
Where every creature gets a share
Of life and food and light
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
Unless we learn, we're the dumbest creatures
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
That ever walked the world
Are you going?
Yes, we're going to a world party
Well, how can I say, no?
Yes, we're going to a world party
You know I've got to go
Yes, we're going to a world party
You know, you know, you know, hey
Pa, party
Pa, pa, party
This party's in the mountains
And in the fields and on the shore
At the bottom of the sea
In the desert
In the marshes
Underground, up your tree
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
And out in space you can hear the creatures
(Ba, ba, ba, bah)
Sing about their world
Are you going?
Yes, we're going to a world party
Well, how can I say, no?
Yes, we're going to a world party
You know I've got to go
Yes, we're going to a world party
Yes, we're going to a world party
Yes, we're going to a world party
Inside my TV eye
Never stop to wonder why
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
Some faceless get on the screen
The most honest man, I've ever seen
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
Won't you show me
Something true today
C'mon and show me
Anything but this
She took us by the hand
Hell, was the promised land
I'm way down now
I'm, I'm way down now
I'm lying by the road
Because she cut off all my clothes
I'm way down now
Way down now
Won't you show me
Something true today
C'mon and show me
Anything but this
Inside my future eye
What I see just makes me cry
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
The clocks will all run backwards
All the sheep will have two heads
And Thursday night and Friday
Will be on Tuesday night instead
And all the times will keep on changing
And the movement will increase
There's something about the living, babe
That sends me off my feet
There's breeding in the sewers
And the rats are on their way
They're clouding up the images
Of perfect day
And I know, I'm not alone
And I know, I'm not alone
And I know, I'm not alone
Anything but this, can you hear me? I said
Inside my TV eye
I never stop to wonder why
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
Then some faceless get, comes on my screen
The most honest man, I've ever seen
I'm way down now
I'm way down now
Something new
My, oh my, little girl, you should give just what you can
To the world, to your sisters, to those arms of a loving man
To your bliss, to your future, to your memories and prayers
'Cos it's cold and it's changing, yeah, this place called Vanity Fair
My, oh my, little brother, can I look you in the eye?
Do you know what you're saying is it half remembered lies?
Handed down, half forgotten, re-believed and upside down
Are you sure that you get it now you live in Vanity Town?
Vanity Fair, where all you gotta do is stare
Plus you got to play unfair
So baby, lighten up your hair
Come to Vanity Town
Oh father, oh father, you said nothing of this fate
Now you smile as you sit there and pretend it's not too late
I said, ?Why could you not tell me what it was that I would find?
But it's alright, I forgive you 'cos I know how you lost your mind
Vanity Fair; where all you gotta do is stare
Plus you got to play unfair
So baby, lighten up your hair
Come to Vanity Town
Come to Vanity Town
Oh now what will we suffer? To what fate will we be forced?
On this path was there no other way we could have got it worse?
Yes I see it now a pageantry that comes to Vanity fair
But I'm sad to say it came too late and now I just don't care
About Vanity Fair; where all you gotta do is stare
Plus you got to play unfair
So baby, lighten up your hair
Come to Vanity Town
Vanity Town, Vanity Town
We got into their little black book
So, they came in a space ship to take a look
I saw them landing on Friday night
To bring love to the modern world
They're still trying to work us out
They marvel at the life we lead
'Cos they're traveling at a different speed
They think we're chasing after chicken feed
We're alive, in a modern way
We're still trying to work us out
Come round and visit please
I'll introduce you to my other family
They came from Mars tonight
To watch the human race go by
Try to make you see
There's a future here for you and me
But only love is gonna make it right
It could take all night
I keep getting so confused
But we're keeping them well amused
We're like a team that always lose
Wear our shorts in an old fashioned way
Still trying to work it out
Come round and visit please
I'll introduce you to my other family
They came from Mars tonight
To watch the human race go by
Try to make you see
There's a future here for you and me
But only love is gonna make it right
It could take all night
Come round and visit please
I'll introduce you to my other family
They leave for Mars tonight
And if we go too, it's gonna be alright
It just might take us the whole of the night
It just might take us the whole of the night
It just might take us the whole of the night
It just might take us the whole of the night
It just might take us the whole of the night
It just might take us
It just might take us the whole of the night
We're all at the mercy
Of the 7 deadly sins
We're all at the mercy
Of the elements in this world we're in
We're all at the mercy
Of each other's little whims
And we're all at the mercy
Of the little man within
Show no mercy, no more mercy
For this little man within
We're all at the mercy
Of the little man within
Hey mister how did you fit
Into the same shoes as him?
No more mercy, mo more mercy
Show no mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within
He tears up all the countryside
Stops when he should begin
He drowns when he tries to walk on water
But he never learns to swim
He's an animal but he thinks he's God
Gets him mixed up with him
And we're all at the mercy
Of this little man within
He was doing fine in 39
Thank God he did not win
He kept playing on his fiddle
As he watched old Rome cave in
He sold love away from his children's hearts
And told them it was sin
Now we're all at the mercy, we're all at the mercy
Of that little man within
Now he's sitting in the gardens
As the acid rain comes in
He got it covered full of rhino heads
And boots of leopard skin
He got the means, he make the harvest high
But you can count those hungry people die
We're all at the mercy
Of the greedy man within
So if you're feeling lonely, baby
If you're feeling blue
If you listen to your little friend
You know he'll tell you what to do
But if you hear his words and you get confused
Start believing they're all true
Then you have just been fooled again
Who said we won't get fooled again?
By the little man within
He might recognize the great one
He might understand what's good
But he believes that he can never live
The way they say he should
So he puts them in the asylum
And he just throws away the key
He keeps the deep freeze inside you
He keeps the deep freeze inside you
And he puts the light in me
So show no mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within
We're all at the mercy
Of this little man within
Hey sister, how did fit
Into the same shoes as him?
Show no mercy, show no mercy
Show no more mercy, no more mercy
For the little man within
Gonna kill, kill the little man within
Gonna kill, kill the little man within
Gonna kill the little man within
We've got to kill, kill the little man within, kill
I got an extra glimpse
Of the truth today
Staring at my breakfast
When I thought I heard it say
Fighting is no good
Success, an empty lie
The treasure hunt is lonely
Until you realize
We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to raise it up
We came to take it up, we came to move it up
I promise you miss
I will do my best today
But somebody keep trying to make me
Trying to make me lose my way
But I believe, oh, my darling
I believe in you
And I hope when you hear this
You'll remember what we were sent to do
We came to take it up
We came to take it up, we came to take it up
We came to move it up
We came to raise it up, we came to praise it up
I came to take you up
You came to take me up
We came to take us up
Take me up, take me up
We came to take it up
Speeding out of the town
I thought I'd lost my way
'Til I saw the green and ebony
Come a-wondering about their pay
Well, I've got the money
If you've still got the friends
We can really put this world to right
Or sit and watch the end, you know
We gonna take it up
We gonna move it up
We gonna take it up
We gonna take it up
To the very, very top
To the very, very top
To the very, very, very, very, very, very top
To the very very top
To the very very top
One, two, three
Come on everybody, whip up like a storm
In a strange groove
Take a look at Iceland, take a look over the edge
In a strange groove
Calm down you people, restlessness is here
In a strange groove
Yesterday, tomorrow, it's never really clear
In a strange groove
Holding on to millions, holding out a hand
In a strange groove
Look into the mirror, look inside the Louvre
In a strange groove
We're so far apart, we're next to each other
In a strange groove
Just a piece of rock in heaven, moving 'round a sky
In a strange groove
Dusty road, water hole, busting for a drink
In a strange groove
God's inside, God's inside, telling you that God has died
Strange groove
Miles Davis, Kentucky fries, forty fags a day
In a strange groove
Pass a law to save us all and give it all away
In a strange groove
Take a walk down by the river, nothing's really changed
It's a strange groove
Take a walk down by the river, nothing's really changed
It's a strange groove
Waking up forever, learning how to play
In a strange groove
Hit it, boys, it's after four, singing in the rain
A strange groove
Gimme, gimme, gimme every single day
Strange groove
Brain is like a chocolate fudge, thinking is a strain
In a strange groove
That's alright, don't matter much, thought brings on the pain
In a strange groove
It's a strange groove
It's a strange groove
Strange groove
Strange groove
Strange groove
Positivity
Positivity, please won't you breathe on me?
Positively
I'm positively freezing to death
I want to find my way to my own time
Relativity
I'm waving at you while you driving by me
Relatively
It's getting harder to catch their breath
I want to find myself in a good time
Faith
You don't need to believe it
Faith
'Cause they're just going to deceive you sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sensitivity
I'm in need of those things that you do to me
Sensibility
Having a feeling is not enough
Don't want to walk on by my own time
Possibilities
The possibilities dance all around me
Momentarily
Just takes a second to lose your way
But I can find myself in my own mind
Faith
You don't need to believe it
Faith
'Cause they're just going to deceive you sooner or later
Sooner or later
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Know and you'll feel so sure
Sooner or later
I'll find out
Sooner or later
Find myself
Find myself
Faith
You don't need to believe it
Faith
'Cause they're just going to deceive you sooner or later
Sooner or later
Faith
You don't need to believe it
Faith
'Cause they're just going to deceive you sooner or later
You'll find out sooner or later
You'll find out sooner or later
You'll find out sooner or later
You'll find out sooner or later
Baby, you're cute in your little black hat
You had a dream but it won't come back
It's waving to you from the top of your hill
For twenty years, man, it's living there still
But you've been a liar, you been a flop
And now you just want to get to the top
Where is this top, baby, where's this top you need?
I've got the feeling that it's somewhere obscene
Show me to the top
Somewhere I can look around
Why don't you show me to the top?
C'mon, c'mon and show me your top
Will you be ready for the new sensation?
A suit of clothes never thought that you'd wear
What's in your mind for the whole duration
Depends on just what they put in your head
Even if you're lying or you been a flop
Well, pretty soon, you're going up to the top
Where is this top, baby, where's this top I need?
Well, it's a city of a thousand dreams
Show me to the top
Somewhere I can look around
Why don't you show me to the top?
See the heaven in your mind
Why don't you show me to the top?
I'd give you a 100 dollars
If you show me, show me your top
You're not fighting
You're not fighting
You're not fighting
You're not fighting
Fighting the right war
L O V E
L O V E
L O V E
(Love is a fruit, baby that's no lie)
L O V E
(So c'mon and be a fly, sing it)
Show me to the top, yeah, never let it drop no
You know this ain't no time to stop
Won't you show me?
C'mon and show me to the top
We're setting sail to the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Torn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Torn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you meet
You sail away from the light of the world
Listen baby, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
I want to run and hide, right now
Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travelin' the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you're philosophic, like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your gallant slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves
But you will pay, you will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You gonna pay tomorrow
Save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
Oh, save me, save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no
Where's it comin' from? Or where's it goin' to?
Do you remember how it used to be?
They always say
You mean those days when everybody laughed?
Well, how did they ever, ever slip away?
Just like rolling of a log
As we say goodbye to God
Yeah, the animal still feels odd
Asleep inside
Well, how it was, was how it had to be
At the end of every day
So perfect in its sense of duty
Well how did it ever, ever slip away?
Just like rolling off a log
The scientist thinks it's odd
That the animal says it's God
Asleep inside
So many fought the wars
And what was that all for?
They said, ?Between good and evil??
Well, I think they lied a little
We live in a prison, somewhat of our own design
Grab the key, unlock the door
Then you'll know what life is for
Stop rolling off a log
Yeah, the scientist says it's odd
And the animal still seems odd
Asleep inside
After such a long parade of history
So many seeing eyes
I wonder how life could do this thing to me?
How could I ever, ever lose my mind?
Just like rolling off a log
And the animal still seems odd
Asleep inside
Inside
Asleep inside
Asleep inside
It sleeps inside
Hold me up 'cause I think I'm going under
Cheer me on if I'm gonna fall behind
Rescue me 'cause the sky is full of thunder
Speak for me when I finally lose my mind
Until now, I've always felt in control of my life
A happy man on the best of days
Someone been rocking my ladder
And the scenery has changed in so many ways
I can't get back to a place I know so well
I look and there's no face to trust
I know that no one said that happiness is everybody's right
But why should it be out of sight?
Hold me up 'cause I think I'm going under
Cheer me on if I'm gonna fall behind
Rescue me 'cause the sky is full of thunder
Speak for me when I finally lose my mind
When I finally lose my mind
Hold me up 'cause I think I'm going under
Cheer me on if I'm gonna fall behind
Rescue me 'cause the sky is full of thunder
Speak for me when I finally lose my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Whenever I think of you I'm sighing inside
I don't understand why I can't love you
I just go under in the surfer's tide
In the surfer's tide, in the surfer's tide
Rescue me
Cheer me on
Speak for me
Hold me up if you think I'm going under
Cheer me on if I'm gonna fall behind
Rescue me, 'cause the sky is full of thunder
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know how, I don't know who
I don't know where, I don't know what
I don't know which, I don't know why
Thought we could work it out
But I might have been sleeping
I used to give a uhh
But now I don't care
I'll plug you into heaven
Turn up the level
I'll pull you in and out
Watch the fuses blow
'Cause you just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know how, I don't know who
I don't know where, I don't know what
I don't know which, I don't know why
I don't know when
But all I see is chaos and misunderstanding
Why don't you turn it off
Leave the world alone
'Cause you just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
You just don't know
I don't know why, I don't know when
I don't know how, I don't know who
I don't know where, I don't know what
I don't know which, I don't know why
I don't know when
I don't know how, I don't know who
I don't know where, I don't know what
I don't know which, I don't know why
I don't know when
I don't know who, I don't know where
I don't know what, I don't know which
And if you listen now
You might hear a new sound coming in
As an old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand
You better take a closer look
Don't let it slip right through your hand
Won't you please hear the call
The world says
Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard
Now is the moment, please understand
The road is wide open to the heart of every man
A few simple words
So a mule could understand
He don't want tomorrow
If it's just crumbling into sand
Won't please hear the call
She says
Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
The world says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
'Cause I'm waiting right here with my open arms
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your soul to me
'Cause I'm waiting to behold your many charms
Is that love in the air? She says
Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
Until you get heard
If you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own
You don't have to do all those burning books
Revolutionize at home
Someone's been hiding the pieces
Someone been burning down the trees
So we need your revolution, baby
There's a planet to set free
We are the revolution, baby
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own
We are the revolution, baby
Come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be
Man's been killing the tigers
Turn the green fields into sand
And their saying how much they respect our work
Oh, god and his final hand
But the world spins on regardless
Which is lucky for you and me
'Cause of all the places in the years right from here
This is the only place to be
We are the revolution
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own
We are the revolution, baby
Come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be
Don't need a red light
Don't need a blue light
Don't need a yellow light
Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now
We got a revolution, baby
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution
There is nothing like your own
We are the revolution, baby
We've come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
I'm a looking for you
What do you want me to do?
Open the door, shine a light
What do you want me for?
I just don't know anymore
Too many questions, too many chains
I'm going crazy, crazy being lazy
'Cos tomorrow it may rain
Say you know the answers
But all I see you making
Is the same mistakes again
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than I want it to
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than it ought to be from my mind
Ooh, my piece of mind
Going the wrong way down a one way street
I've got a feeling that you were born to cheat
No more for me, that's enough
We're on that runaway train
Going 'round in circles again
Put the brake on, stop at the light
I'm going crazy, crazy being lazy
'Cos tomorrow it may rain
Say you got the answers
But all I see you making
Is the same mistakes again
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than I want it to
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than it ought to be from your mind
Ooh, piece of mind
Ooh, my piece of mind
Ooh, my piece of mind
It's not in heaven, it's not the trees
Nothing's gonna happen to the birds and bees
It's not the ocean, it's not the air
The only place that matters is the place you care
In your mind
Ooh, ooh save your mind
Ooh, ooh save your mind
Ooh, ooh save your mind
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than I want it to
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than it ought to be for my mind
Ooh, loving you can be so cruel
Even better than it ought to be for my mind
Ooh, ooh piece of mind
Ooh, ooh my piece of mind
One two, one two
Oh my lover, I'm in the sea
Nothing gonna change for you and me
Done our best but I'm on fire
Never gonna change me down the line
We were safe, now we are sorry
No, don't live life in a hurry
Tried my best to make you see
The dawn gonna break on you and me
Oh my lover, can't keep running
Time will need and time forgotten
Time will stop, time will start
Send an arrow through your heart
We were safe now, we are sorry
Coming back for me in a hurry
I licked it while I let it hurt
And now I don't know what is worse
Guide me over
To the wings of the sea
Try to bath me
Die in the surf, die in the sorrow
It'll all work out tomorrow
Tried my best to make you see
Something ain't right for you and me
Oh my baby, be my rudder
Time will make you cold and shudder
Which is worse, catch you up
Time gonna bring you an empty cup
I was safe now, I am sorry
All this mess and all this worry
Forget the rest and draw the line
Just don't know now which is fine
I was safe now, I am sorry
Oh, don't live life in a hurry
Draw a line, forget the rest
Now here comes the world, here comes the moon and the sun
From a top of the pyramid you can see everyone
Over here is the desert, over there is the frozen north
In Sweden they are blonde, in Africa they're black, for what it's worth
The eagle's getting tired, the bear cannot flap his wings
People running scared while the little girl sing
What goes up surely must come down
Don't keep your head in the ground
Let the kingdom come, let the kingdom come
Let the kingdom come, let the kingdom come
And there's always more
Forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Forever, forever, walking past my window
Forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Forever, forever, walking past my window
Forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Finding the girl, follow her down to the stream
Well you're scanning the walls, searching for stills from your dreams
You know the pandas are skating on very thin ice
If you understand me tap once, babe, if you don't, just tap twice
Please let the kingdom come
Let the kingdom come
And there's always more
Forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Forever, forever, walking past my window
Forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Forever, forever, walking past my window
And forever, forever, wandering around my cave
Yeah, the money is so different, those computers are cute
You better phone home right now, see if they can find your lost parachute
Well the best lack all conviction, while the worst is yet to come
Yeah you should pick the politician up, kick his bum
Roll over Beethoven let the kingdom come
Let the kingdom come, hey
Let the kingdom come
[Incomprehensible]
Don't it just flow through you
Don't it just flow through everyone
It is time to remember
It is time to forget
It is time to be dry
It is time to be wet
Look over the mountains
Look out in the sea
It is time
(It is time, it is time)
It is time to forgive
It is time to be forgiven
It is time to make play
It is time to make a living, yeah
Look out in the mountains
Look out in the sea
It is time
(It is time, it is time)
It is time
(It is time)
Time to be in
It is time to be out
It is time to stop twisting
It is time to shout, yeah
Look over the sunrise
Look out in the sea
It is time
(It is time, it is time)
Look out in the city
Look out on the beach
It is time
(It is time, it is time)
Look
It is time to be in
It is time to be out
It is time to be forgiven
It is time to shout, yeah
Look out in the city
Look out on the beach
It is time
(It is time, it is time)
Look out in the mountains
Look out over the sea
It is time, yeah
(It is time, it is time)
Yeah, it is time, yeah
I heard about the trouble they had down on the farm
They said they lost all the white horses and half of the corn
Woman of the house she came screaming into town
We said, "Sister why go crying when you can watch it all burn down
And sit here dreaming of our Hawaiian island world?"
Preacher said his church has been empty two Sundays in a row
I said, "No Father please forgive them for they do not what they know"
Been called on by the devil, your man from down below
And traded in their free-will for a part in Satan's show
And they don't hear the screaming of a dying virgin girl
They just sit there wanting their Hawaiian island world, oh, oh, oh, oh
The shopkeeper from Illinois came round
A freshly fired gun in his hand
He said he'd just shot a young poet
For writing something he didn't understand
Gone were the lines that he loved to forget
Safe were the folk words of truth would upset
With God right behind him, his gun by his side
There was nowhere for these weirdos to run or to hide
The day of their judgment it was due to arrive
Get them on the record and make sure they don't survive
And we can all sit watching our Hawaiian island world
Don't wake me 'cos I'm dreaming of my Hawaiian island world
Well I seen you out there parading
In the streets of your distant land
In your strange caps and clothing
Shouting, "I don't understand"
But you, you look so loaded
It's somethin' I can't feel
But I'm into some God action
And maybe yours is real
'Cos I'm falling
I need your God on my side
I need your God on my side
Well I see you objecting so strongly
To the ways of the liberal disease
And your armchair satisfaction
As you narrow the meaning of free
And I dream of a home that is tidy
And a church full of money bees
And I wonder about the suppression
That you get when you're down on your knees
And I'm falling
I need your God on my side
I need your God on my side
God on my side, ooh ooh ooh
God on my side, ooh ooh ooh
God on my side, ooh ooh ooh
God on my side, ooh ooh ooh
Well I see you thought we could change the world
If we gather round and pray
But it's just like sending one letter to more than just one place
But, "Dear God can You help us?"
Must be the opening phrase
'Cos we're falling
Need your God on my side
One I can call my own
I need my God on your side
Make a happy home
We need their God on our side
In search of him I will roam
Need our God on our side
Mine got up and left home
You need our God on your side
Do you find yourself in darkness?
Do you find yourself in light?
That's a question I want answered
Could you answer me tonight?
Could you give me some directions
In this cave of after life?
Do I struggle with my conscience
As it struggles with my life?
In this blackness that surrounds me
But doesn't give me any room
There's so much that I forget
Is that the curse of the mummy's tomb?
We're all the bold explorer
We all seek gold and fame
Out asking for directions
To the house that knows no pain
And the casual traveler wonders
Who led us all astray?
As he leans against the bar
And watches children play
In the blackness that surrounds them
Where there's never any room
But he's following his own quest
For the curse of the mummy's tomb
There are riches here you cannot sell
So value them we don't
There are spies at every corner
Please, help us they say "Won't"
There are special traps of wisdom
Devised to seize the fool
To entomb him with the mummy's gold
There are demons who shout "Duel"
But I'm too busy with my conscience
I'm too busy with my gloom
Can you rid me of the fever?
That's the curse of the mummy's tomb
We started out together
Our expeditions linked
But every student has a theory
The best he's ever thinked
And our vanity betrays us
And our nerve, it disappears
After crossing the dark threshold
Into loneliness and tears
Could I travel into caves unknown
Hear the dullest thud of doom?
Can I wander noisy silence?
That's the curse of the mummy's tomb
Buried deep within the mountain
In the valley of the king
There's a passage way that leads there
Where the wind whistles and sings
Of a time so long forgotten
It seems like yesterday
When the queen was in her palace
And the king was on his way
To the bosom of his family
To the holy golden womb
Well, was that love?
That's the curse of the mummy's tomb
If you want to know what happened here
There is writing on the wall
There are strange signs and ornaments
That'll really tell you all
But they're easy to misunderstand
You have to tell the truth
That's how you find the secret
Of her eternal youth
There are curses that are blessings
There are clues in every room
It's up to you now
That's the curse of the mummy's tomb
Nobody there to help you
As the apparition nears
Nobody loves like she did
Could take away your fears
Was this what you were afraid of
Life without a queen?
Forget it just remember
This life is but a dream
And you know that hope's returning
Like a new bride to the groom
There's no curse
Just a mummy's tomb
Do what you want
But you gonna have to do it now
Say what you want
But you gonna have to say it loud
Runnin' around with the world on your shoulder
You look around and you're just gettin' older
Once you had a beautiful dream
Follow the sun
Oh, you know gonna live in the clouds
[Incomprehensible]
Oh, you know it's gonna hit the ground
Runnin' around with the world on your shoulder
You look around and you're just gettin' older
Once you had a beautiful dream
(You got a beautiful dream)
Ah, beautiful dream
(Got a beautiful dream)
Ah, beautiful dream
(You got a beautiful dream)
Runnin' around with your head full of worry
You look around and you're just bein' in a hurry
Once you had a beautiful dream
Do what you want
But you know, you gotta do it now
Kill what you want
But you better not kill this town
Runnin' around with the world on your shoulder
You look around and you're just gettin' older
Once you had a beautiful dream
(You got a beautiful dream)
Ah, beautiful dream
(You had a beautiful dream)
Ah, beautiful dreams
(You had a beautiful dream)
Do what you want, yeah
Do what you want, yeah
Do what you want, yeah
If we walk through each other as we leave the room
You don't have to tell me that it's over
Whoever you were then I never really knew
You got no need to know me now
You can't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
And I fell back alone and I fell
Is love trying all the right moves
To stop the walls from coming up?
But I can't look over this at all
I'm in some different place
Strangest pictures on my wall
I drew them yesterday
I never thought, I'd find the time at all
You can't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone and I fell
Forever doesn't mean forever
It just means maybe some other time or place
But how can two souls still eat together
When life has lost its taste?
Can we lie together, bed and face to face
Not see anyone at all?
It's time to make a wish and let it float on down the stream
We can cry a little for a time that could have been
But live it well, my love
Live it all, my love
Live it long, my love
Live it all, my love
You don't see the bottom from the top
You don't see the edge before you drop
And I fell back alone
I gotta go, got some people to see
They're gonna show their invention to me
Say it'll save lots of my precious time
Open up the inside of my mind to
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
I'd like to call you but just now and then
I get the feeling that I need a good friend
I'll do the same if it's getting to you
Give us a call and I'll give you a clue
But I gotta go, got some people to see
Don't wanna keep them waiting for me
Just remember what I said to you now
The clock is ticking but your life will go on for
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Look at me running while I bury what's inside
Whence comes this feeling that there's so much I should hide
The simple life is something I just want to do
The clock is ticking but I want to be with you
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
Always, always, always
I gotta go, got some people to see
They're gonna show their invention to me
Say it'll save lots of my precious time
Open up the inside of my mind
I'd like to call you but just now and then
Was that you dreaming out of control?
Don't get uneasy, no one's ever understood it all
And we will always love you
We'll be so proud of you
We will sing your song tonight
When they call you out
When they ask you who you've been
Will you have a doubt?
Will you tell them with a grin?
I was lost, I was blind, I was you
(I was blind, I was lost, I was you)
All I gave was me
All I gave was me
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Under the blue sky, seconds tick away
There's no resolution, it just changes everyday
So shh, we will always love you
We'll be so proud of you
We will sing your song tonight
When they call you out
When they ask you who you've been
Will you have a doubt?
Will you tell them with a grin?
I was lost, I was blind, I was you
(I was lost, I was blind, I was you )
All I gave was me
(All I gave was me)
All I gave was me
(All I gave was me)
I gave you all that I had to give you
I gave you all that I had to give you
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la la la la
And you thought I was just holding on to the past
Believed these eyes could never see ah
In your face there are things I don't need
You take slaves when you make us free
When you make us free your way
And I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, oh
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm, oh yeah
I can see what you're all about
You make us keep it in when we should let it out
I'll get even some day ah
You got it perfect now if you realize
That sometimes you have to be nice or there'll be hell to pay
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready now
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, no
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't no who, what, why or when
Gonna turn me round from this world
Ain't no, so I'm telling you again
Gonna make me stop into this world
So tired of hating, I'm just awaiting
You keep on walking to the end
Gonna make it work into this world
Come back, starting up again
Gonna make it right into this world
Love every hour in the tower
And you wait another day
And you know that they will say
That it's too late, yeah
They're telling you again
You turn around and nothing's right
You only got to shine your light
It's not make believe
Gonna make you believe
Ain't no who, what, why or when
Gonna turn me round from this world
Gonna get to this world
Watch every hour, we're in the tower
And you're holding on again
And you're trying to say, my friend
This will all turn out right
You know that it's the end
But the answer's here, my friend
But they're telling you
That it's just out of sight, yeah
Ain't nobody gonna put me down
Gonna turn me round from this world
Colors scents and symphonies
Fall on me like tears
And time around me stretches back
And forth across the years
Was I sent to see your beauty?
Just to please my aching heart
Well, I want to say good morning
But I don't know where to start
Thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Well, I'm lying in the [unverified]
And I'm staring at the stars
Yeah, he laid me down this blanket
Now I call this blanket grass
And the sun is my alarm
And the moon she makes me dream
And my food is wild honey pie
And water from the stream, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Thank you world
Ah, thank you world
For giving me my children
Ah, thank you world
For keeping me alive
Ah, thank you world
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you getting the vibe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you really alive?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you getting the vibe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Are you really alive?
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
Ah, thank you world
She is everything I need
She is living guaranteed
She's what I mean when I say
Everything's alright
She got diamonds she got pearls
She got wisdom
And this girl is all you need
To know that everything's alright
I give you all my money
Abandon that beautiful girl
Take my books
My choicest looks
And burn them all today
I got rare '61 Beatles
I got a film of my dreams
But I'd lose them all
Burn 'em all
Go along without all of it
Give up the chances I see
If you'd take me up
Raise me up
Let me know the heart of it
Give me your sweet soul dream
Give me your sweet soul dream
I don't need a body
A body's nobody to me
It's just a cell
And I'm leaving well
When I get you to give me the key
You can take all my postcards and letters
My loves and my good memories
Well I'd lose them all, burn them all
Go without all of it
Give up the chances I see
If you'd raise me up
Take me up
Let me know the heart of it
Give me your sweet soul dream
Give me your sweet soul dream
I'm trying to learn understanding
Against the hell I can win
If you'd hold me up
Grow me up
Let me be a part of it
Give me the chance that I see
I could take me up
Raise me up
Get to know the heart of it
Give me your sweet soul dream
Give me your sweet soul dream
You can't see forward, you can't look back
There's nothing that you need, nothing that you lack
And it ain't gonna last this way
You say you're living out on the edge
But you're on solid ground, not on a ledge
And I think we're gonna make it this time
Sunshine, I just can't get enough of you
Sometimes you just blow my mind
Gonna take it all, gonna change it all for you
And I'm so glad that you found me
Yeah, you made it just in time
Yeah, I'm so glad now, I'm getting delirious
You're down in the basement when we're up here on the roof
You're looking for evidence when you're living proof
But we hope you're gonna make it up here
Sunshine, I just can't get enough of you
Sometimes you just blow my mind
Gonna take it all, gonna change it all for you
Sunshine, don't leave me behind
I keep getting caught in the rain
Fooled again and again
I start acting like there's no tomorrow
Drowning in a sea of pain and sorrow
Oh, I said, "Sometimes I just can't get enough of you"
Sunshine, you just blow my mind
Gonna take it all, gonna change it all for you
And I'm so glad that you found me
Yeah, you made it just in time
Little baby, we know what you've been through
Come and join us, 'cause we want to change the world, like you
No need to worry, no need to cry
'Cause we're all gonna be on the same side
When we love
When we love to make love to the world
When we love
When we love to make love to the world
There's something going on here that's not quite right
There saying that it's cool but it's just out of sight
I was swimming in the river, now I'm drowning in the sea
I mistreated the world, now she's coming for me
I was saved by the bell, 'cause I read all the signs
In the churches and houses, in the townships and mines
I went running through the forest, through the deserts and fields
And the looks on all their faces was, 'My God, this is real'
When we love
When we love to make love to the world
When we love
Have you ever been to Love Street?
Have you ever tried on all the shoes?
They're for walking on the clouds with
And not for down here in the blues
Y'know dreams come true on Love Street too
Smile, you're in this place
I was walking with the lonely
Before you came into my heart
Showed me round your Love Street
Took me naked from the dark
Well you're touching my soul
Don't let me go
You're calling out to me
I'm turning to gold
Beginning to flow
Somebody set me free
Until now my mind was blank
And there was nothing there and the
The white lady
(The white lady, the white lady)
She won't come my way
(Won't come my way)
You say,"Close your eyes"
(Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes)
And walk down that street in your mind
Oh it's some place so fine
(Some place so fine)
Y'know really drives me out of my mind
How could it be?
That I'm walking down Love Street, baby
Oh, I want to walk this world around
I'd want to walk this world around
Wanna see all the people
Takin' everyday one step at a time
It was just a moment ago that I remember
And she said
Don't you know it can be beautiful sometimes
Don't you know it can be beautiful sometimes
Don't you know it can be beautiful sometimes
Don't you know it can be beautiful sometimes
Don't you know it can be beautiful sometimes
Shoes out of leather
Tongue dried out
The fuel's all gone, engine stopped
Sister, please stay till I tell you how I left
And the color blue's for me
And you can keep all the rest
I've been carrying these bags
For a hundred miles
I've been livin' in my penthouse
I've been asleep on that [Incomprehensible]
Oh, there's a hole in the dam
Where the power used to be
There's a crack in my cup
And I'm adrift out at sea
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all my own fault
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all my own fault
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all my own fault
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, in your mind but it's my fault
There's my river of mud
There's my sky of lead
I've got a head full of dynamite
And I've got nails in my bed
And there's a hole in the dam
Where the power used to be
And there's a crack in my cup
And I'm adrift at, adrift at sea
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all my own fault
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all mine and it's my own fault
It's all mine, it's all mine
It's all mine, it's all mine, it's all my own fault
Don't say why, don't say why
There she is on a lifeboat
There she is setting sail
There she is in someone else's dreams
There she is looking beautiful
There she is again
There she is in a mountain stream
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
There she is in the kitchen
There she is out at sea
There she is enveloping me
She said she's just a mirror
Said she leads the way
Babble on and dooming me today
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
The sun it sighs
Wave upon wave
In the grass and dew
I dance
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood, wouldn't she?
Hollywood
Hollywood
Hollywood
And in winter we shall ride
In a pink carriage with blue cushions
Kiss ran down your neck like a little spider
We will find it
Yeah, you gotta be Hercules
You get up, you get down, you stand up
This whole world keeps spinning around
And I've found that it helps
You gotta be Hercules
You may think it's bringing you down but I know
I know you got it bad babe
There's always someone worse than you
Come on, put your head on my shoulder
You gotta be Hercules
You gotta be Hercules
Call me up when the night is over
Call me up when the night has gone
I had enough of this rolling over
Call me up and I will come along
Call me up and I will come along
Don't get me wrong
Been a long, long, long time
Since I had something that I really love
Don't get me wrong
Been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I
Call me up when the night is over
Call me up when the night has gone
I'll turn around on the road I'm going
Just call me up and I will come along
Call me up and I will come along
Don't get me wrong
Been a long, long, long, long, long time
Since I heard something that I really love
Don't get me wrong
Been a long, long, long, long time
Since I
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
Whatever happened to those bits in the middle?
You know those crazy piano bits
I used to think that it went like that
But it really went like this
Really went like this
Call me up when the night is over
Yeah, I'm up now and the night is gone
Had enough of this rolling over
Call me up and I will come along
Call me up and I will come along
And God said, "Look after the planet
Look after the planet, look after the planet"
And God said, "Look after the planet"
We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
You will pay tomorrow
CHORUS:
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail in this ship of fools
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail in this ship of fools
I want to run and hide
Right now...
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world
You're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom
Like you knew you would
Using all the good people
For your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles
Through the warning waves
But you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
You gonna pay tomorrow
(CHORUS)
Where's it coming from?
Where's it going to?
It's just a ship of fools...
Here we go...
All aboard...
C'mon pack your bags, clear the floor
Let's step out through the open door
Leave a note that says goodbye
Build a new house down by the sea
Get to the place we were meant to be
You'll know it when you smile
Up at the window, searchin' the sky
Looking for the rainbow and don't ask my
I wanna see the rainbow come
We'll be leaving on all sides, hmmm
When the rainbow comes
Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
Could be a bomb or it could be a letter
It don't matter, it can only get better
Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
You know it's been such a long, long time
Since I could laugh at this world of mine
Yeah, yeah
Slippin' and slidin' around in your head
It's be-bop-a-lula then baby you're dead
So c'mon make a bright new day
I need a prayer here, need a blessing
Cast an eye back as you run
Turn around boy, see the rainbow come
You'll be leaving on all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes
See the world from all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes
I was her
She was me
We were one
We were free
Anf if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
We were young
We were wrong
We were fun
All along
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
When you get to where you want to go
And you know the things you want to know
You're smiling.
When you said what you want to say
And you know the way you want to play it
You'll be so high you'll be flying.
Tho' the sea
Will be strong
I know we'll
Carry on
Cos if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one.
When you get to where you want to go
And you know the things you want to know
You're smiling.
When you said what you want to say
And you know the way you want to play it
You'll be so high you'll be flying.
I was her
She was me
We were one
We were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
