Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
 
'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me

Ev'ry face that I see is all wrapped up in frowns,
And unfortunately, it kind of gets me down.
Laugh,
'Cause the music is funny
Yeah, the bass sounds off-beat.
Ain't that neat.
Laugh,
When you lose all your money,
Or you can't find your shoes
To cover your feet.

Hey!
Well my temperature's rising
And my feet left the floor
Crazy people knocking,
Cause they want some more
Let me in baby
I don't know what you got
You better take it easy
This place is hot
And I'm
So glad you made it
So glad you made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day

Lord Almighty,
I feel my temperature rising
Higher higher
It's burning through to my soul

 

Girl, girl, girl
You gonna set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go

 

Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance
One thing led to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

 

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone

Can't this wait 'til I'm old?

Can't I live while I'm young?

I've long since retired and my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

As I was walking down the street one day
A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah
And I said

Does anybody really know what time it is (I don't)
Does anybody really care (care about time)
If so I can't imagine why (no, no)
We've all got time enough to cry

Well, I've been to Hastings and I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what
And I've been here, I've been there
I've been every ***** where
So what, so what
So what, so what, you boring little ****
Well, who cares, who cares what you do
Yeah, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you

Well you can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace 
Drag my name all over the place 
I don't care anymore
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in 
You won't catch me crying 'cause I just can't win
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore

Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me to know it well
The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find
And though it's always been with me
I must tear down the wall let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross
There is no loss

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Lord mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
It's got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
 
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love (oh oh)
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Feeling's gettin' stronger
Music's gettin' longer too
Music is flashin' me
I want to, I want to, I want to take you higher
I want to take you higher
Baby, baby, baby, light my fire
I want to take you higher

 

Boom shaka-laka-laka
Boom shaka-laka-laka

While the music played, you worked by candlelight
Those San Francisco nights
You were the best in town
Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl
 
You turned it on the world
That's when you turned the world around
(Did you feel like Jesus?)
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
 
On the hill the stuff was laced with kerosene
But yours was kitchen-clean
Everyone stopped to stare at your technicolor motor home
 
Every A-Frame had your number on the wall
You must have had it all
You'd go to L.A. on a dare and you'd go it alone
(Could you live forever?)
Could you see the day?
Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?
 
Now your patrons have all left you in the red
Your low-rent friends are dead
This life can be very strange
All those day-glo freaks who used to paint the face
 
They've joined the human race
Some things will never change
(Son, you were mistaken)
You are obsolete
Look at all the white men on the street
 
Clean this mess up else we'll all end up in jail
Those test-tubes and the scale
Just get it all out of here
 
Is there gas in the car?
Yes, there's gas in the car
I think the people down the hall know who you are
'Cause the man is wise
You are still an outlaw in their eyes

Put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
And slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uh huh


Well, give your ID card to the border guard
Now your alias says you're Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Of the United Federation Of Planets
'Cause he won't speak English anyway

Low country blushing bride, blind to the ways of time
Clear crystal burning mind, (she flies)
Falling through liquid air with music everywhere
Stone faces silent stare, (she flies)
The old guard on the hill can feel the chill
Deep into the freeze of those who don't believe
 
Been a long time (Waiting on love)
Been a long time (Waiting on love)
Been a long time (Waiting on love)
Been a long time (Waiting on love)
