To the ladies of Vietnam,
Take my arm, and walk me in.
To the children of old Iran,
Take my hand, and walk me in.
Oh, dancing
Let's win!

And I hear myself screamin' for the Truth,
Everybody talkin' but I'm still confused.
In the dream I saw the kingdom we would lose.
And everybody singing love, sweet love.

To the women of Ghulu Choir,
Take me higher,
Oh fly me in.
To the children of Mao Zedong,
Take my arm,
And walk me in.
Oh, dancing
Yeah, let's win!

Do you know the way, the things to say,
The way to win the game of life?
Aaah, I should know better.
Do you have the time, the time is now,
To get your money house and wife.
Aaah, I ain't no liar.

To the boys of Uganda,
Come home
And walk me in.
To the children of no one knows,
Take my arm
And walk me in.
Oh, dancing
Yeah, let's win!

Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Body
Awake my body.

You can't turn your cheek,
When you're falling asleep,
And you're cold,
Awake my body.

They took me to the station,
Dropped me on my knees
Ask me my vocation,
I'll tell you if you please.

I trained my toes in typing,
Specializing in concrete,
A day you won't believe just happened,
I heard a voice that came to me,
It said " my body, my toes,
My heart, my skin, my nose,
My organs for you to play"

Now I believe believer will lead to healer
Yes, now we have all our faith,
Come on, take me..
All the way.

Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Body
Awake my body

Don't hide my eyes,
I wanna see.
Don't hide my ears,
I wanna hear.
Don't hide my tongue,
From anyone,
I wanna tell, heaven and hell.
I won't hide my heart,
It won't break apart.
I know they'll be sharing,
They'll be sharing all the way (all the way)

Awake now
Body awake now
Awake now
Body awake
Awake now
Body awake now
Ah see them caring
See them sharing
All the way, all the way

Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Hey mama, eh mama, eh mama, hey
Body
Awake my body

You can't turn your cheek
When you're falling asleep,
And you're cold.
Awake my body.

[Whistle]

Be hold,
All the way.

Truth
The truth is that I never shook my shadow
Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle
Calling out "faker" only get me rattled
Want to pull me back behind the fence with the [cattle]
Building your [lenses]
Digging your trenches
Put me on the front line
Leave me with a dumb mind
With no defenses
But your defenses
If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless

[Since] this
I've grown up some
Different kind of fighter
And when the darkness come let it inside you
Your darkness is shining
My darkness is shining
Have faith in myself
Truth

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon
Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.
I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding
Every little lie in this world come from dividing
Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,
Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me
All out of my secrets
All my enemies are turning into my teachers.
Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining
You darkness is shining my darkness is shining
Have faith in ourselves
Truth
Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love
That's what I'm trying to do is only loving
Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving
Till I'm feeling only loving
Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving
But I'm only loving only loving only loving
Only loving the truth.

She said "You're terrible at stayin',
Probably better that your goin',
All the love that you have stolen is a crime"
But I don't wanna lean on your piece of glass, just to fly.

She said "You're always looking inside, why not reaching outside,
Put some focus on a picture perfect wife."
I said "The earth is turning 'round, you know,
The wind is changing also,
Don't you think the same laws might apply to life?"

But I don't want to lean on your wedding bell
Fare thee well
I'll remain your friend till we meet again
In the twilight

I said everything is blurry,
I almost can't tell you apart from all the other girls
Except you don't complain.
She said "Better fix your vision but I prefer the precision,
Of everybody looking much the same".
But I don't wanna lean on your paper back, let's turn the page.
I will cheer you on till your game dissolves
In the twilight.

Ooooooh, oh Magdalene, I love you,
You think I'm insane,
Well I'm leaving on evening's train
Ah, hey Madonna, do the honors and pray for the day.

Is the sun so selfish, because it will set now?
Is the wind a jerk because it change?
Would you call the earth an asshole
For turning 'round n round you know,
It never ever stays in just one place.
Now if I'm not mistaken, the natural equation would be,
You and I as best of friends for life.
Cross all your lines and numbers,
And wake up from the slumber
Into a dream of neither day or night.

Cause I don't want to lean on your wedding bell,
Fare thee well.
I'll remain your friend till we meet again,
In the twilight
In the twilight

It was all colors and heat,
And rain falling in the streets,
And bad bad love.

When she asked, "what do you need,"
I said "what do you believe,"
I need bad bad love.

How can I care anymore?
Bring me a love
A bad bad love
Right now
Oh, bad, love, oh!

I went marching though the mall today,
Singing bad bad love.
I went marching through the ghetto today,
Singing bad bad love.

She asked "what is it you need,"
"A love the devil can't reach,
I need bad bad love."

Our scriptures turned to sand,
Our boy become a man,
With a bad bad love.
Fill me with love,
(Oh) bad, bad, love,
Bad bad love
Right now

Mr. Magoo, he took off with Betty,
And I'm on the porch carrying wood,
My heart is confetti.
I'm having a party,
I'm feeling good.

You say you're comin' to crush my skull,
To bash in my face, and shatter my frown,
To mingle my blood in with the ground,
All this as the sun was setting down.

Old friend, trying to hunt me down again
Old friend this is your exit, you're no, no no friend

Who is this man, who's afraid of death.
Who fears it so that death's all he brings.
I s'pose he wage war till nothing is left,
With a mouth full of teeth and nothing to sing,
Well he put his hands around my neck,
And I s'pose I let him from natural respect,
And he frothed at the mouth, I twinkled my eye,
And gave him this vision just before I died,

He saw his lines drawn in the sand,
Upon a land of beauty and wind,
And he in the distance dragging a flag pole,
Across a desert that never will end.

Old friend, trying to hunt me down again
Old friend this is your exit, you're no no no friend

[Harmonica]

Yes you are

I love you like grave danger
Like moon shining disguise
Mmm hmm
When I wake up with your makeup
And spread blush cross the sky

Like a meteor crush
I'm gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl

My notion of love devotion
Was a corrosion of mind
Mmm hmm
Then come cupid and now I'm stupid
And I feel it's just fine

Like exploding face
I'm gonna tell the world
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl

It's a spun tongue
It's a holy shit
It's a loud cry from your heart
It's a live death
It's a big breath
It's a no more we're apart

Like a rainbow crash
As we bow and swirl
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl

Like exploding sun
Let the light unfurl
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl

(Remember, remember our heart)

Can't believe my eyes
Could it really be so
Drink it up buttercup, take it slow
And remember (remember) our heart

It's so weird to feel high
When a second ago I was feeling oh so low
And remember, remember your heart

Remember remember my heart
Now hey mama don't forget though we're apart
Hey mama take us from winter to summer
And remember, remember our heart
Now remember, remember your heart
Now hey mama don't forget though we're apart
Hey mama take us from winter to summer
And remember, remember our heart

It's so weird to say "bye"
When I don't wanna go
Got me feeling oh so low
I remember remember your heart

In a world so wide could it really be so?
Only one way to know
Remember remember our heart
Remember remember my heart
Now hey mama don't forget though we're apart
Hey mama take us from winter to summer
And remember, remember our heart
Now remember, remember your heart
Now hey mama don't forget though we're apart
Hey mama take us from winter to summer
And remember, remember our heart

I found peace, in my way
But it didn't last, beyond the day
I've had glimpses around the bend
But in the morning, I start again
I feel the sun, hot on my face (mmhm)
And I hear my blood giving way

I've had some glimpses around the bend
You know if I didn't, I'd have killed myself today

Now mama I'm so tired, from the bullshit
(Mama yea yea)
And I so cried, from the bullshit
(Mama yea)
And I'm so tried,
But I know I'll make it with you by my side
Mmhm

Perhaps I'm crazy
Still I'm thinking, there is change in the air
We were trying together (mmhm)
Now we're trying just to care
Now if we find peace
Oh let it stay
Let it last beyond the day

I've had glimpses of our tomorrow
But Lord if I didn't I'd kill myself today

Now mama I'm so tried, from the bullshit
(Mama yea yea)
I so cried from the bullshit
I'm so tired
I know I'll make it with you by my side
(Yeah, oooooo)

Let me show you love that will last
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
A magic hymn to will keep the wind in your mast
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
Let go fear, and let go fate
Then my dear, these words you state

Let's make a deal
To not make a deal
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
For all the ways that we can
All the ways that we can
All the ways that we can love
Let's make a deal
To not make a deal

Let me show you love that will last
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah

Drop your fears like little turds
Then my dear the magic words

Let's make a deal
To not make a deal
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
For all the ways that we can
All the ways that we can
All the ways that we can love

La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah

Let me show you love that will last

La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
La dah da di da dum dah tah dah
