People
Keep on learnin'
Soldiers
Keep on warrin'
World
Keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long
Powers
Keep on lyin'
While your people
Keep on dyin'
World
Keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad He let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin' till I reach the highest ground.

Teachers
Keep on teachin'
Preachers
Keep on preachin'
World
Keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh no
Lovers
Keep on lovin'
While believers
Keep on believin'
Sleepers
Just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long
Oh no

I'm so darn glad He let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin' till I reach the highest ground

And Stevie knows that, uh, nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground.
'Cause me 'n' Stevie, see, we're gonna be a sailin' on the funky funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground.
Bustin' out, and I'll break you out, 'cause I'm sailin' on
Till I reach the highest ground
Just, uh, sailin' on, sailin' on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground

Step right up and listen please
You're gonna get it with the greatest of ease
Well, everybody gather 'round
All aboard the underground
You've got to get in before you get out
And gettin' out is what it's gonna be about
If you find that you are blind
Open your bashful mind
Let my band step inside and take you on a cosmic ride
Let my band step inside and take you on a cosmic ride

With honest sounds I'll paint your brain
For in this song I do proclaim
That once aboard this moving train
I'll do my best to ease your pain
Slinky as my speech may be
On this trip you'll ride for free
As we leave our trailer spots
Well, outer space is lots of dots
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes too easily
This axis bold as love you see comes and goes too easily

Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
(Bis)

Once aboard and feeling smooth
Like a liquid you will ooze
Into a state of mind that soothes
Aw! be my quest inside my groove
'Cause what I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogalulu
I'll make you wiggle like a wiggley worm
'Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole so bust into your funkiest stroll
Life's too short to be in a hole so bust into your funkiest stroll

Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
(Bis)

'Cause what I've got to give to you
Is gonna make you wanna boogalulu
I'll make you wiggle like a wiggley worm
'Cause you deserve to wiggle and squirm
Life's too short to be in a hole
So bust into your funkiest stroll
Take your body shake it around
Do the dog on the ground
And if I can't make you dance
I guess I'll just have to make you piss your pants

Space is king or so I sing, subway to Venus
''(x 4)''

L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains in tact

M-A-G-I-C
See you on the court
Buck has come to play his way and his way is to thwart
M-A-G-I-C
Magic of the Buck
Other teams pray for dreams
But he don't give a fuck

Penetrating the lane like a bullet train
Comes the magic blood a telepathic brain
Knucklehead suckers better duck
When the Buck comes through like a truck

Scott stops pops and drops it in
On his way back gets a little skin
From the hand of a man named A.C. Green
Slam so hard break your TV screen

Worthy's hot with his tomahawk
Take it to the hole make your mamma talk
I hate to burst your bubble but triple double trouble
Is coming to your town and he's going to make rubble

L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains intact

M-A-G-I-C
I see you in purple and gold
You can swim, but you won't get far so you might as well go home
M-A-G-I-C
In Buck we trust
Restoring order to the court and justice is a must

Lakers are the team that I watch on the telly
'Cause they've got more moves
Than a bowl of jelly

The Buck stops here - pops - then cheers
A roar through the forum
That deafens my ears
The one and only know of his kind
Sits in a throne
Not for the records that he holds
But for being bald and bold
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
All time great super super star
I hate to burst your bubble
But triple double trouble
Is coming to your town
And he's gonna make rubble

Does anybody want some Magic Johnson?
Does anybody want some Magic Johnson?
Does anybody want some Magic Johnson?
Does anybody want some Magic Johnson?

L.A. Lakers fast break makers
Kings of the court shake and bake all takers
Back to back is a bad ass fact a claim that remains intact

the freakiest show i know
is the show of my own
living my life in and out
of the twilight zone

bust my britches
bless my soul
i'm a freak of nature
walking totem pole
look and see i think you'll agree
nobody weird like me

intercourse with a porpoise
is a dream for me
hell bent on inventing
a new species

bust my britches
bless my soul
i'm a freak of nature
walking totem pole
look and see i think you'll agree
nobody weird like me

riding down the path
on the back of a giraffe
me and the giraffe laughed
cause i passed some gas

bust my britches
bless my soul
i'm a freak of nature
walking totem pole
look and see i think you'll agree
nobody weird like me

enchanted as a rabbit
that my life is a dream
well everything is never
just as it seems

the freakiest show i know
is the show of my own
living my life in and out
of the twilight zone

Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me too much for you
You're gonna lose in time
Don't be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside inside
Pain's part of life don't hide behind your false pride
It's a lie your lie

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

I'm tired of being untouchable
I'm not above the love
I'm part of you and you're part of me
Why did you go away
Finding what you're looking for
Can end up being being such a bore
I pray for you most every day
My love's with you now fly away

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I'm not bigger than life

It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely
It's so lonely when you don't even know yourself
It's so lonely

Flat on my back
In a lonely sprawl
I stare at the ceiling
'Cause I can not fall
Asleep tonight
No not at all
Head lights flash
Across my bedroom wall
Crying eyes open
'Cause I can not fall
In love with you
No not at all

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

Busted in two
Like a brittle stick
I can not drink
Because my throat constricts
Lovesick from you
That will never do
Open my mouth
I couldn't make a sound
I could not scream
No
I could not shout
It out to you
Nothing to do

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

This may come as a shocking surprise
I have to take a walk
I have to kiss it goodbye
Goodbye my love
Goodbye my love
I am not alive

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid

Walk away and taste the pain
Come again some other day
Aren't you glad you weren't afraid
Funny how the price gets paid
Funny how the price gets paid

sweet china doll her thighs

her pipes are open wide
she blows more than my mind
echo the sounds of soul
time after time
she's stone cold bush
she's stone cold bush

Well alright
Now dig this

You don't care for me I don't care about that
You got a new fool
Ha

I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love with your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire...

Funky funky fire...

Funky funky fire...

Now listen to this baby
And stop acting so crazy

You say your mom ain't home
Ain't my concern
Just don't play with me
And you won't get burned
I have only one burning desire
Oh, I'm gonna, me, do it in your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh, funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire

Oh move over Rover...
And let Mr Huckleberry take over...
You know he's bad
You know he drowns
You know who he gives it to
Yeah!

That's right
Now dig this

You try to give me your money
You better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love over your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh, funky fire...
Let me stand next to your fire

You better slide your ass over, girl
'Cause I'm coming through once and
I'm coming the way you must be

to what do I belong and if I change will i be wrong
I took my foot and kicked
a hole in the sky
I proceeded to plead
fathers help me decide
a jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
I turned around and found that I was still alive
snakes rise high from the purple black sky
the red cloud rains and the black horse rides
then it dawned on my like the mornin sun
I'm a part of two worlds and the mornin comes
glowing embers tend to remember when
the power that is peace was treated as a friend
I am a master of and I've got to take action
I'm a man
the animal man
