Yeah, you know they gonna bring him down
They gonna wreck it down, yeah
Something's come to rock me
And I can't keep my head
I get nervous in the New York City streets
Where my legacy treads
I know I'm better off standing in the shadows
Far from humans with guns
But now it's too late, there's no escape
From what they have done,c'mon

I'm going deeper underground
There's too much panic in this town(2)
I'm going deeper underground
But I got to go deeper, got to go much deeper, yeah
Cuh-heh, they gonna wreck it down, yeah
Step do-do-do-dow-di-dow-di-down
Hey we're gonna bring it down, yeah

Some people with a pocket full of money
And an eye full of hate
Take a pleasure in destruction
Of the very thing that they tried to create
Somebody tell me why does all
Mankind only tamper and touch?
Have a habit where they-bite off
More they can chew
And now it's too much

I'm going deeper underground, hey ha
There's too much panic in this town(3)
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
Deeper underground
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
Deeper underground(3)

Something's come to rock me
And I can't keep my head
I get nervous in the New York City streets
Where my legacy treads
I know I'm better off standing in the shadows
Far from humans with guns
But now it's too late, there's no escape
From what they have done

(Got to go) I'm going deeper underground
(Got to go deeper) I'm going, I'm going (deeper)
I'm going (deeper), I'm going (yeah)
I'm going deeper underground
(I'm going, I'm going
Got to go deep
(I'm going, I'm going)
I'm going deeper underground
(Deeper, deeper)
Got to get down now
I'm going, I'm going...

You know this boogie is for real

I used to put my faith in worship
But then my chance to get to Heaven slipped
I used to worry about the future
But then I threw my caution to the wind
I had no reason to be carefree, no, no, no
Until I took a trip to the other side of town (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I heard that boogie rhythm, hey
I had no choice but to get down down down down

Dance, woah
Nothing left for me to do but, dance
Out these bad times I'm going through, just dance
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby

I feel the thunder, see the lightning
I know this anger's heaven sent
So I've got to hang out all my hang-ups
Because on the boogie I feel so hell bent, hey hey
It's just an instant gut reaction, that I got
I know I never ever felt like this before
I don't know what to do
But then that's nothing new
Stuck between hell and high water
I need a cure to make it through

Hey, dance
Nothing left for me to do but, dance
Out these bad times I'm going through, just dance
Hey got canned heat in my heals tonight baby
You know I've got canned heat up my heels

You know this boogie is for real...

Only the wind can blow the answer
And she cries to me when I'm asleep
She says you know that you can go much faster
I know that peoples' talk can be so cheap (hey)
I got this voodoo child ingrained on me
I'm gonna use my power to ascend
You know I got these running heels to use
Sometimes there's no way I lose
I was born to rock, and built to last
You've can't see my feet, cause they move so fast

Dance, yeah
Hey nothing left for me to do but, dance
All these bad times I'm going through, just dance, hey
Got canned heat in my heels tonight baby

Dance
Hey DJ let the music play (let the music play)
I'm gonna let this party live (I wanna let this party live)
Hey DJ throw my cares away (let the music play)
I'm gonna live this party live
Hey DJ let the music play
I'm gonna let this party live
Hey DJ throw my cares away
I'm gonna let this party live
Canned heat in my heels tonight

You know, you know this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat in my heels
Gonna dance, gonna dance my blues away tonight
Whooooo
You know, you know this boogie, this boogie is for real
Got so much canned heat, canned heat in my heels
You know I'm gonna dance my blues away tonight

There you were freaking out,
Trying to get your head around the fact that me and you and love is dead
See how I'm trippin out
'cause you can't decide what you really want from me

(Chorus)
Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a little L

There you were shouting out
Cranking up your altercations, getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering
How could this love become so paper thin?

You're playing so hard to get
You're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more
If you ain't givin' nothing to me

Don't you know that

you make me love you, love you baby
with a little L
why does it have to be like this
I can never tell

Seems like you're stepping on the pieces
of my broken shell
'cause you make me love you, love you
with a little L you know
that's the way you make me love you yeah

Why does it have to be like this?
I can never tell
You make me love you, love you baby
With a little L

Baby baby, I feel these sweet sensations
Honey, honey, looks like a superstar
She's got a promise of love struck fascination

What am I to do?
How am I to know?
Who you are.

And this love-fool-osophy is killing previous
illusions that (I'm a love fool) I had in my mind about you, I'm a love fool
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
tragically compelling (I'm a love fool) and my love it means
nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool

She shimmers like a California sunset
Lady, lady glitters but there's no gold
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
Is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long

And this love-fool-osophy is killing previous
illusions that (I'm a love fool) I had in my mind about you,
I'm a love fool
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
tragically compelling (I'm a love fool) and my love it means
nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool
I don't want the world I want you
I don't want the world I want you, you
I don't want the world I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you

Love-fool-osophy is killing previous
illusions that, I had in my mind about you,
I'm a love fool
Seems so true, all the lies you're telling
tragically compelling (I'm a love fool) and my love it means
nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool (I'm a love fool)
My love it means nothing to you
So maybe I'm still a love fool (I'm a love fool)

I'm a love fool
They're my lovefoolosphies, don't you see its killing me
I'm a love fool
They're my lovefoolosphies, don't you see they're killing me
I'm a love fool

Little darlin' don't you see the sun is shining
Just for you, only today
If you hurry you can get a ray on you, come with me, just to play
Like every humming bird and bumblebee
Every sunflower, cloud and every tree
I feel so much a part of this
Nature's got me high and it's beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe
From death until rebirth

This corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me
So inspired of that there's nothing left to do or say
Think I'll dream, 'til the stars shine

The wind it whispers and the clouds don't seem to care
And I know inside, that it's all mine
It's the chorus of the breakin' dawn
The mist that comes before the sun is born
To a hazy afternoon in May
Nature's got me high and it's so beautiful
I'm with this deep eternal universe from death until rebirth

You know that this corner of the earth is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free

I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me (x4)

This corner of the earth, is like me in many ways
I can sit for hours here and watch the emerald feathers play
On the face of it I'm blessed
When the sunlight comes for free
I know this corner of the earth it smiles at me

I'm coming down to see ya,
I'm looking for fast and cheap,
I'm looking for the back of the streets,

To turn it up and drown,

Feels just like it should,
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should,

Feels just like it should,
(I'm gonna get experience)
(Yeah-ow)
Feels just like it should,
Turn it up and drown,

I'm going on a laser beam,
to shoot some Cherries down,
I pick a little free agent,
I got myself a fine wide smile,
so baby for the first time,
I need a little sugar 'n' spice,
(Yeah-ow)
I wanna see the city lights,
I'm gonna find a number,

Feels just like it should,

She said it would feel that good,
and it does,

(Yeah-ow)

I'm coming down tonight to taste y'all,
Sugar-spice, I want you, a sexy girl,
slips in, it feels good,
(I love it when you tell me)
Feels just like it should

The pebbles you've arranged
In the sand, they're strange
They speak to me like constellations, as we lie here
There's a magic I can hold
Your smile of honey gold
And that you never seem to be in short supply of

[Chorus]

Oooh, so baby let's get it on
Drinking wine and killing time
Sitting in the summer sun
You know I've wanted you so long
Why do you have to drop that bomb on me?

Lazy days, crazy dolls
You said we've been friends too long
Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the summer dress you wore in spring
The way we laughed as one
And then you dropped the bomb
That I've known you too long for us to have a thing

[Chorus 2x]

Could it be this?
The stories in your eyes
The silent wings
You'll fly away on

Seven days in sunny June
Were long enough to bloom
The flowers on the sunbeam dress you wore in spring
Yeah, yeah, the way we laughed as one
Why did you drop the bomb on me?

[Chorus]

Could it be this?
The honeysuckle blessings you seem to show me
Could it be this?
For seven days in June I wasn't lonely
Could it be this?
You never gave me time to say I love you
Could it be this?
I know you don't believe me but it's so true

Don't walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away from me, girl
I read the stories in your eyes
Don't you walk away
I read the stories in your eyes

And you've been telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
Telling me
We've been friends for too long
Why do you want to drop the bomb?
You tell me we've been friends for too long, yeah
I think I love you
I think I love you
Why do you want to drop that bomb?

Can you dig it
Something in the air tonight
Got a one way ticket
Baby, don't you wanna ride
Got to make it
Make it to the other side
I've got demons
Snapping at my heels tonight

(CHORUS)
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around
Running me down
I can't stay
I just want to get away
I just want to get away now
Get them off my back today

Can you feel it
I'm stuck inside in a hurricane
Chasing rainbows
Can't you see
I'm going insane
I wanna be a free man
But I'm spinning on this crazy wheel
I'm jumping for the high bar
Can you dig it
No longer know what I feel
Can't you see

(CHORUS)
I just want to runaway
Turn me loose
Got people around
Running me down
I can't stay
I just want to get away
I just want to get away now
Get them off my back today

I just wanna runaway

Turn me loose, turn me loose
Turn me loose, turn me loose

Got to make it, got to make it
Got to make it, got to make it

I just want to runaway
Just wanna runaway
Got people around
Running me down
I can't stay
Can't stay here long now
I just want to get away
I just got to get away
Get them off my back today
woo

I just want to runaway
Lalalalalala
I just wanna get away
Lalalalalala
Turn me loose
Runaway, runaway
Got people around
Running me down
I can't stay
Runaway, runaway
I just want to runaway
Lalalalalala
Just got to get away
Lalalalalala
Turn me loose
Runaway, runaway
Get them off my back today

Everybody,
Don't want no war, no, no no no,
'Cuz we're too young to die,
Too young to die.

So many people,
All around the world yeah,
All around the world,
Seen their brothers fry,
You seen your brother fry?
What's the motive,
In your madness?
Oh, I wish I knew,
You made my people cry,
You made my people cry.
So politicians, this time,
I think you better keep your distance,
Say, sing it loud:

We're too young to doo-doo-do-do-do-dah-do-do-do-do-dooo,
Do-do-do-do-da-do-do-do-do-do (etc.)

What's the answer?
I wish I knew,
To our problems.
I think we've gone too high,
I think we've gone too high.
Little children, never said a word now,
You know they never said a word,
Still they have to die,
Well I'm asking why.
It won't be long, no no no,
Dancing like we do yeah,
Oh, like we do now,
To put this sad world right.
I gotta put it right.
So don't you worry,
People we won't have to suffer no more,

'Cuz we're too young to...

All gone when they drop the bomb
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cuz here I am assuming that
Nobody wants a war.
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying,
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders,
So full of empty promises,
But rarely do they feed us,
Put our backs against the wall,
Or don't we count at all?
Can you decide? Are you mesmerised?
Do you know which side you're standing?
'Cuz when it falls gonna take us all,
Gotta know what we're demanding.
I'll never lie can't you hear me cry
Coming from on high,

We're too young to die (doo-doo-do etc. to fade)

every bird will sing
the melody of our love tune

yesterday i was half the man i used to be
maybe that's because you're the other half of me
like the spring in bloom
the summer of our love is soon
every bird will sing
the melody of our love tune

sent down from above
unconditionally love
likened to a flower
stronger love grows by the hour
stormy weather days
make us go our separate ways
where our love was so at ease
now you got me down on my knees

yesterday i was
brighter than the morning sun
now my love is lost
and lonely days have just begun
a solitary chair
for a silent love affair
a king has lost his throne
and now he sits alone

every bird will sing
oh now every bird will sing
every bird will sing
the melody of our love tune
I wanna tell you

yesterday i was half the man i used to be
maybe that's because you're the other half of me
like the spring in bloom
the summer of our love is soon
every bird will sing
the melody of our love tune

Oooh yeah don't you know that you blow my mind!
Honey you're sweeter than anything,I need you
Want to get closer to you,to you,to you
I want to get closer to you now.

Love ya,I need ya,I think i wanna squeeze ya
Nightly,so tightly,girl you know you really blow my mind
Say it again, Just one more time I've got to know
How you came to blow my mind- Closer

Pleasure, passion- Tonite's the night I'm
looking for your action- I want to hold you
Don't you know that now you blow my mind
Say it again just one more time i've got to know
How you came to blow my mind- Closer

Fever, hot now, help me wipe the sweat
away from my brow- Sexy- oh Lady,
Don't you know this time you blow my mind
Oh don't you know yeah, Don't you know by now
that now you blow my mind (Yeah)
Oh yes you do, yes you do, yes you blow my mind

Instrumental part

Everything is good and brown
Oh I'm here again
With a sunshine smile upon my face
My friends are close at hand
And all my inhibitions
Have disappeared without a trace
I'm glad, oh I found
Somebody who I can rely on

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone
Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Maybe I'll have to get high to get by, hey

Everything is good oh and green
Say I'm red again
And I don't suppose I'm comin' down
I can see clearly, so high in sky
A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade his eyes
He's glad, oh that he found
Somebody who he can rely on

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone
Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Maybe I'll have to get high to get by, hey
Maybe I'm gonna have to get high

Now he's here again
Now he's here again
And I don't know what I'd do without him next to me
Everything, everything is good and brown
Now that, now that he's around

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone

Say at the speed of Cheeba
Oh, you and I go deeper
Maybe I'll have to get high to get by

This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary good vibe zone

Say at the speed of Cheeba, oh you and I go deeper
Hey now we'll go deeper, oh now we'll go deeper
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Now we'll go deeper yeah

Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
It's a wonder that man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see
I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, Whaaa, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these -

[Chorus]
Futures made of virtual insanity
now Always seem to, be
govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, all our new
technology Oh, now there is no
sound - for we all live underground

And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother, can choose the colour
Of her child
That's not natures way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Waoh - it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Future's that we have to be told

[Chorus]

Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad,
I know yeah

Instrumental break
(chours)

Of this virtual insanity, we're livin' in,
Has got to change, yeah
Things, will never be the same,
And I can't go on
While we're livin' in oh,
oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world, has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep
going on, it was virtual,
Virtual insanity that we're livin' in,
that we're livin' in
That virtual insanity is what it is

[Chorus]

Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity

Virtual insanity is what we're living in

I must've died and gone to heaven
Cos it was quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
With the stars as her umbrella
She asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekkin'
Cos it's you I should be checkin'
So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic

I'm scanning all my radars
Well she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
Tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for her number all the same
She said, "step in my transporter
So I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body"
oh, This could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace
when I see her pretty face

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic

(Send me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face...)

She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
Transmitting on my frequency
yeah cosmic, oh
Can't you be my cosmic woman?
I need you, I want you
To be my cosmic girl
For the rest of time

I need your love,
I need your love,
you give me light so tonight take me there
I feel your sun start to glow
and I know it let me show
that I want your love
I need your touch for the rest of our time together baby
Baby come fly with me eternally
you and me we were meant to be

Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever
Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever

I see your eyes hold the key
to my paradise summer in your smile
well it makes me feel so real
you tell me things and my heart
sings to the world from islands in the sky
take my hand as one we will stand
you know it's never never to say hello to forever

Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever [x4]

I need your touch
I want your love so much
I need your touch
and I want your love, so much
Oh, now tonight, we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever

You don't need your
Name in bright lights
You're a rock star.
And some tin foil,
With a glass pipe,
Is your guitar, now yes it is!

Little Angela, suffers delusions, from these high times.
She's been cleaning, up since fourteen,
On the mainline. And her hunky, funky junky,
Of a boyfriend, got her on late nights,
With her skirt tight. Woa-hah she's a wild thing,
Oh-oh lettin' it all swing, God bless our high times...

Don't you know that last night,
Turned to daylight
And a minute became a day.
Last night, all my troubles,
Well they seemed so, so far away.
Oh I'm searching, my reflection,
For a glimpse of, another me.
I've got to get away from all these high times,
'Cuz these high times,
Are killing me.

This twisted, crystal kingdom,
Where you live your nine lives
And your head spins, with purple cyclones,
Made of dexydrine (gimme some of that)
And when the phone rings, you think bad things.
Well these are high-high-high-high times yeah,
In any back street, when you take a hot seat,
Make sure you check your flight times, woah now momma.

Last night, turned to daylight
And a moment half a world away
Time can be so precious,
When you throw your, life away.
Oh, I am searching, my reflection,
For a glimpse of, another me.
I've got to get away from all these high times, woah now,
'Cuz they sure are killing me.

Woah, no-no-no-no-no-no-no,
High times, ooh-yeah.
Ooh, we're livin' in high-igh times...
Ooh, I can't be living it up,
Lettin' it all go wrong.
I can't be living these white lies,
Knowing my life has gone.

Kids wanna give it up,
Kids wanna give it up,
Time to let your mind be free,
Searching for eternity.
Kids wanna give it up,
Kids wanna give it up,
Time to let your mind be free,
Searching for eternity
Kids wanna give it up,
Kids wanna give it up,
Yeah, oh, alright!
