Travelling Without Moving
Album - 9 settembre 1996 - Debaser id 16013

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 must believe
I can do anything
I can heal anyone
I must believe

I am the wind (yeah)
I am the sea
I am the wind
I am the sea
I am the sun
I can be anyone

Oh this world is mine
(this world is mine)
For all of time (for all of time)
I can turn any stone
Call any place my home
I can do anything

I know I'm gonna get
myself together (yeah)
Use the force
I know I'm gonna work it out
Use the force
I know I'm gonna get
myself together (yeah)
Use the force
Use the force

Yes I do
Baby, maybe, we can
spend a little time
Together now that we're alone
So long I have been waiting
Now can't you let me
take you home

All these things we do
Will make our dreams come true
You want me, and
I surely want you
Tell me where to go
Tell me what I need to know
To take you on a little ride

Hold me, control me
Let me circumnavigate
your body, mind and soul
Like a seed from a flower
I can grow and you must know
Sadness, don't mean a thing
Cos, you and me girl,
you now we're in the swing
All the things that I want to get with
You on a midsummer night
In the evening light
(The) sweet evening light

All these things we do
Will make our dreams come true
I want you - you want me
I surely need you baby
And so far what we've done
Has made our lives become
Something more than
Evening light to make it right

All, all I want from you baby,
is sweet loving now
No, I know, yes, I know
I know what I want from you girl,
we can make it right
We can hold on to each other tight
Lose our inhibitions
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Every little thing we do is good
Every little thing you see is sweet
Every little part of you I'd like to meet
I want you girl, you know I want you
I want you in the evening light

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!

Nowhere to go
But I'll still be cruising
I live this life long
Long long time

You know I'm drifting along (drifting along)
Can't see where I'm going
I will get to my destination

I' m feeling the pressure (pressure)
All around me crumble (man now)
But I won't be put down this time

I'm shifting along
Though I sing a sweet song (sweet song)
We'll murder in the streets where I be livin'

I'm closing my eyes (closing my eyes
Don't want to see killin'
Gentle giants will roam forever

I'm cruising the street
Wondering who I will meet
Oh love has got to reign in our world

La la la la
La la la la la
I don't know where I am going to
(I don't know where I am going to)

La la la la
La la la la la
I don't know where I am going to
Drifting along

Drifting along
Closing up my ears to the sound
I don't want to hear, crying

[Instrumental]

Can't stop, no

Speed freak
Faster than a speedin' bullet,
Slow down, if I don't
If I don't might just lose it
Locked up
You've got me honey
Locked up under heavy brakin'
Yeah yeah
You know I've got to hang on
Drive too fast I might be last
oh yeah

I know all we're doing is
travelling without moving

(repeat)

Touch me in the night time
All I want from you is love
And I know you can give me
such sweet moments
To last me so long
Cos, you make me feel so strong

All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
Make it happen
All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
Oh girl
All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby

Cos you make me that good
And nothing else matters
Until you're in my arms, girl
And all those broken promises
we made to each other
We have so much more to give
I know that we can do this
That's how I want to live
Eternally together

All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby

Will you make it happen
for us now
Please this time
You know I need your
touch honey
I want your touch honey
Like the morning sun
has just begun
Girl, like the rain on
my window pane
Girl, if I could make you stay
More than one day
Eternally together
Oh girl I need your touch
Oh girl I want your loving
Sweet, you know that
we can make it happen
For you and for me to be
And eternally together
we will be

Oh, do you know where you're coming from?

Hey, nothing is as clear!
Imagine in your mind, oasis.
Far awide beyond our living.
Sure enough I'm tired out trying
Hang on when this world is spinning
I was left out
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
Fishin' Around For Meaning
But, I had to ask
Someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was
She said...

Hey! Do you know (mmm)
Where you're comin' from?
Do you know...
Now where you're going to?
She said...
Hey! Have you been...
Somewhere you've never ever been before?
I said well...
Nothing is as clear!

Nothing is as clear without
Holding Hand to gently guide you.
Once that disapeared
But it's so close now that I'm here beside you.
I was left down
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
Fishing Around For Meaning...
I had to ask someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was
She said...

Hey! Do you know
Where you're comin' from?
Hey! Do you know...
Now where you're going to?
She said...
Hey! Have you been...
Somewhere you've never been before?
Now nothing is as clear

Ahhhhho!
Oh, do you know,
Now where you're going to?
She said...
Hey, do you know now where you're coming from?
Hey, have you been somewhere you've never ever been before?
Nothing is as clear!
I was left down
I was left down
I was left down [etc.]

Imagine in your mind, oasis.
Far awide beyond our living.
Sure enough I'm tired out trying to
Hang on when this world is spinning
I was left out
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
Fishin' Around For Meaning
But, I had to ask
Someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was
She said...

Oh! Do you know
Where you're comin' from?
Hey! Do you know...
Where you're going to?
Hey! Have you been...
Somewhere you've never been before?
Oh, now nothing can ever be as clear.

What are we gonna do tonight?
We should go to a funktion

You know I love it
Come on and let me get through
I need to put in on you
You got me hooked up, baby
You know it's breakin' my mind
I want your body all the time
Delicious - she drives me crazy

The perfume that you wear
Seems to hang in the air
It's boogalicious
And while that DJ's bustin' grooves
I've been makin' all the moves to taste your kisses
You know, honey

Some people get their kicks
When their shirts begin to stick
In a sweatdown (I got to get down)

Why don't you come on with me, lady?
I don't want to hear your maybes

Girl, you got the body of a goddess
And I want you at your hottest

To spend the nighttime
And now that rhythm is complete
You got the world at your feet
You're outtasight!!

You don't have to be suggestive

At the party, party

To the music
Now all the girls grab a guy
And the guys grab a thigh
So get loose
