Someone
Should take your microphone
See yeah one
Should take your microphone
One
One

. . .



Born with your back to the god that 
Spit you out on the riverbed 
Angry at who? Me? 
You better back up fool
I bet you took a gun to school, too 

But now, nobody's takin' your candy 
You just keep on livin' this tragedy 
La da da da da da da, to each his own
But I wait for you to take my hand
'Cause we need each other 
We gotta love each other, yeah

Born with your back to the god that 
Picked you up by your puppy scruff 
Angry at who? Me? 
You better back up fool 
And be grateful that the real me's always hidin' from you 

Now, nobody's takin your bicycle
Maybe somebody should take your microphone 
La da da da da da da, to each his own
But I wait for you to understand
That we need each other 
We gotta love each other 
That we need each other

Someone
Just take your microphone
Someone
Should leave the light on
Someone
Take your bubblegum
Someone
Take your life away

Always
Washin' hallways
You're always
Walkin' hallways

Try again
Lie again
Come with me
Whom we love
Whom we love

Now, don't shoot up
Gonna hold on
To whom we love

I wait for you to take my 
I wait for you to take my hand

Yeah, 'cause we need each other 
You know? We gotta love each other 
'Cause we need each other, yeah 
We gotta love, gotta love each other

This simple creed of love is all I follow
We need each other
This simple creed of love is all I follow
Hey, we gotta love each other
This simple creed of love is all I follow
You know? We need each other
This simple creed of love is all I follow
Yeah, we gotta love
Gotta love each other

. . .



We hit the room, me and my crew
And it was cool, until we bumped into you
Now it's been years, but there you were
Like a mustang, redlinin' every single gear
With a man that danced like he was born
In '49, but lost his groove back when Jesus died
I wanna know, are those replacement hips?
Is that a swatch watch? do you know what time it is?

Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?

We hit a couch, the place was packed
With sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs
My mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite
Your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did i
Now you know that I took that prize
In the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club
Now tell me

Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby

What did I do?
What did I say?
That gave you away
Tell me what didn't I do, what didn't I say
That sent you away from me

Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy, I'm just a jealous guy, come on!

Does he run it deep enough
Does he run it deep enough

. . .



I just come down from the mountain a happy man 
Turned on the television, should of chewed off my hand 
I'm sick of all the false glory, in god we trust
Show me one dollar bill that hasn't passed through the cuss

And if you break my will, I will come back again 
To destroy everything you stood for, oh

I will go on like a soldier 
Through the storms of love 
And I take you back
Take you away from here, my friend 
And charge you up again

We just come down from the mountain
Where the breezes were blowin' 
And everything was growin' 
Like some tree in the bush 

Still, I gotta live my life here
With some pretty scary bretheren 
But now I'm a rebel on a mission, baby 
To live and die by my smile

And if you break my will, I will come back again 
To destroy everything you stood for, oh yeah

I will go on like a soldier 
Through the storms of love 
And I take you back
Take you away from here, my friend 
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again, yeah

Let's go to Ray's, not to Pizza Hut 
Let's go to the pig, not to the Starbucks 
Let's vote for Nader, what are we waitin' for?
I'm gonna live to be a hundred and sixty four 

To the crib, then back to the studio 
To write a song so good, make a midget grow 
From the North Pole, down to Mexico 
If you don't know the words, fuck it, let's go

I will go on like a soldier 
Through the storms of love 
And I take you back
Take you away from here, my friend
And charge you up again
Charge you up again
Charge you up again

. . .



In a dream I had, you were standin' all alone
With a dyin' world below, and a microphone
Singin' hallejuhah, I finally broke their mold

Whatever it's gonna take, good luck, keep it real 
Where the boys in Live? They're pissin' in the mainstream 
Open up your cage, focus all your rage 
The world needs people like you

In a dream I had, I was on a stage with Queen 
Michael Stipe and Elton John, Bono, Springsteen 
Singin' hallejuhah, rock and roll is king

Whatever it's gonna take, good luck, keep it real 
Where the boys in Live? They're pissin' in the mainstream 
Open up your cage, focus all your rage 
The world needs people like you

Whatever it's gonna take, good luck, keep it real 
Where the boys in Live? They're pissin' in the mainstream 
Open up your cage, focus all your rage 
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you

People like you
Motherfuckers like you
People like you

In a dream I had, you were standin' all alone
With a dyin' world below, and a microphone
Singin' hallejuhah, I finally broke their mold

Whatever it's gonna take, good luck, keep it real 
Where the boys in Live? They're pissin' in the mainstream 
Open up your cage, focus all your rage 
The world needs people like you

Whatever it's gonna take, good luck, keep it real 
Where the boys in Live? They're pissin' in the mainstream 
Open up your cage, focus all your rage 
The world needs people like you
The world needs people like you

People like you
Warriors like you
Lovers like you

In a dream I had
With a dyin' world below
Singin' hallejuhah

. . .



Bow, bow, everybody in the hotel
Bow, bow, everybody in the motel 
Don't knock if the door to my suite is closed 
You should of come to the show 

But you didn't, now you're wishin' that you had 
Had to go to Jimmy Buffet with your dad 
With Live, it's game seven every single night 

You have to put it on the line to step inside

Transmit your love to me and 
Silently make me whole again 
Transmit your love to me, yeah

Bow, bow, put your ear to the door and
Bow, bow, put your face to the floor and
Through the crack, see the people kickin' it inside 
And leavin' it all behind 

In the name of love, we raise the roof 
In the name of love, do what we came to do 
In a town tonight, where the streets have no name

And everybody feels the same 
The outside world is a goddamn shame

Transmit your love to me and 
Silently make me whole again 
Transmit your love to me, yeah

Come on

Tell your leaders love is in town
To turn this whole thing upside down, yeah
We can't take it anymore
We won't take it anymore

Come on

Tell your leaders love is in town
To turn this whole thing upside down, yeah
We can't take it anymore, no, oh

Transmit your love to me and
Silently make me whole again
Transmit your love to me, yeah, oh yeah, come on

(Welcome to my world of love)
Transmit your love to me, yeah-yeah
(Sacred, sacred love)
Silently make me whole again
(Welcome to my world of love)
Transmit your love to me
(Sacred love) 
Ah yeah, come on in

Welcome to my world of love 
Welcome to my space above this sacred love 
Welcome to my space of bliss 
Drive me to the heart of this 
Sacred love, sacred love...

. . .



Forever

Forever may not be long enough for my love 
I have a will but I'm lost inside your time 
If you could, would you come with me to the other side? 
Forever may not be long enough 
Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough for this love 

Forever
Forever
Forever

This world is never enough and I'm not givin' up
(forever)
My faith in love is like blood, I'd spill it freely for some
(forever)
My faith in love is like blood, it flows in everyone
(forever) 
Don't stop to look at the clock, forever won't be long enough

Forever may not be long enough for you to know
Just how far I'd travel, just how far we'd go 
Open your heart and everything will be alright 
Open your heart, baby, leave with me, don't be afraid forever

This world is never enough and I'm not givin' up
(forever)
My faith in love is like blood, I'd spill it freely for some
(forever)
My faith in love is like blood, it flows in everyone 
(forever) 
Don't stop to look at the clock, forever won't be long enough

Forever may not be long enough for our love

Forever
Forever
Forever
Forever

Forever may not be long enough
(forever)
Forever may not be long enough
(forever)
Forever may not be long enough
(forever)

Forever may not be long enough
Forever may not be long enough

can't believe I finally found the key 
The door, the trip, it was all in my mind 
Now I'm one with the fools of love 
I can't believe I finally found the prisoner
The free man were all in my mind 
Now I'm one with the fools of love

These fools of love are misunderstood
Your mystery is with me now

I can't believe my core was shaken 
I gave up the ghost of everything I was before
Now I'm one with the fools of love

The fools of love are misunderstood 
Your mystery is with me now

So call me a fool 
Call me a fool
Call me a fool

I can't believe my dream is over 
I woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes 
Now I'm one with the fools of love 
I can't believe the key, the door
The clouds that blocked the sun they were all in my mind 
Now I'm one with the fools of love

And these fools of love are misunderstood
Their history is with me now

So call me fool 
Call me a fool 
Call me a fool

The fools of love are misunderstood 

. . .



Gotta find a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Where babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth is God is wide
So let's just fall inside
And let the whole damn thing go
And flow

Everybody's here
Mystery and beer
I have nothing to fear
'Cause I found a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Where babies become old
And love is bought or sold
The mouth of God is wide
So let's just fall inside
And let every damn thing go
And flow

Flow
Flow
Flow

Everybody's here
The mystery is here
I have nothing to fear
'Cause I found a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
'Cause babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth of God is wide
So I'll just fall inside
And let the damn thing go
And flow
Flow
Flow

Flow
Flow
Flow

Everywhere we go
Flow (on the inside)
Flow (on the inside)

Everywhere we go
I gotta find a way to flow
In a host of things that grow
Their babies become old
And love is bought and sold
The mouth of God is wide
I'll just fall inside
And let the whole damn thing go
And flow
Flow

Flow
Flow
Flow

Everywhere we go
(On the inside) flow
(On the inside) flow

Everywhere we go
(On the inside) flow
(On the inside) flow
On the inside

In the east, they can meditate 
They can recreate the sound of OM and bring us home 
I think I'll go there someday 
Maybe for a holiday 
Maybe just light a candle 
Take a seat for the ride

And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away 
And you don't need no car to truly, truly ride, to truly ride away

In the west, we think we're the best 
We've shown the whole wide world that money is all we care for now 
Someday the scientists will see 
There's no such thing as gravity
They'll all just light a candle 
Take a seat for the ride

And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away 
And you don't need no car to truly, truly ride, to truly ride away

As you ascend in silence, all doubt behind thee
You reach the summit, my friend, and find your destiny, yeah
Oh yeah

And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away 
And you don't need no car to truly, truly ride, to truly ride away, yeah

And you don't need no money to fly, to truly fly away, yeah
And you don't need no car to truly, truly ride, to truly ride away
To truly ride
To truly ride
To truly ride
To truly ride

I was on a street with a common name 
I prayed for love, yeah, I even begged 
I had a vision of you that carried me through

Now it's just magic worlds in a shaman's dream
I fear no man, I fear no pain
I had a vision of you that carried me through

And nobody really knows what I would do for you 
And nobody really knows how much I love you 
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows

I cleared my mind and I turned around
Grateful to the one who had laid me down 
I was silent in love, pourin' down from above

Like so much rain, it fell and pierced my brains 
The trees all alive with their colors, like the dreams of man
I had a vision of you that carried me through

And nobody really knows what I would do for you now 
Nobody really knows how much I love you, baby 
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows, yeah

I was on a street, yeah, with a common name 
I prayed for love, oh baby, I even begged 
I had a vision of you that carried me through (carried me through)

And nobody really knows what I would do for you
(It's a secret revelation)
Nobody really knows how much I love you, babe
(It's a secret revelation)
Nobody really knows, nobody knows 
Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows

Nobody knows, yeah

. . .



I am not ok with this tv in my face 
And liar after liar with nothin' bout nothin' higher

I'm on the outside, peerin' in to your world
And all the boys and girls are singin' save me
Save me from the one who only rapes me, oh yeah

Take away my tv 
Don't want your fuckin' recipe 
It's all decay, decay, decay 
Not today, today, today 

Take away my tv 
Don't want your fuckin' therapy 
It's all decay, decay, decay 
Not today, not today, oh no, oh no

It's our world and I'm on fire 
With anger and desire 
Not the kind that they feed to me 
With their emptiness and greed, greed, greed, yeah

I'm on the outside, peerin' in to your world
And all the boys and girls are singin' save me
Save me from the one who only rapes me, yeah, oh yeah

Take away my tv
Don't want your fuckin' recipe 
All decay, decay, decay 
Not today, today, today

Take away my tv, yeah
Don't want your fuckin' therapy 
It's all decay, decay, decay 
Not today, not today, oh

I don't give a fuck what you say about me
Everything you are is just a tool to me 
So just set up the mic and let me do my thing
In the consciousness of each and every sentient being 

Rainin' down like a thunderstorm into your mind 
Maybe not the first, the second, or even the third time
But eventually, you won't be able to put me down 
You'll be havin' me with breakfast in your coffee grounds, come on

I'm on the outside, peerin' in to your world
And all the boys and girls are singin' save me
Save me from the one who only rapes me, yeah, oh, come on

Take away my tv
Don't want your fuckin' recipe 
All decay, decay, decay 
Not today, today, today

You take away my tv, yeah
Don't want your fuckin' therapy, babe
It's all decay, decay, decay 
Not today, not today, yeah, oh no, oh no


. . .



Even now, the world is bleedin' 
But feelin' just fine, all numb in our castle 
Where we're always free to choose 
Never free enough to find 
I wish somethin' would break 
'Cause we're runnin' out of time

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome 
Holy water in my lungs 
I am overcome

These women in the street pullin' out their hair 
My master's in the yard givin' light to the unaware 
This plastic little place is just a step amongst the stairs

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome

So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field 
Turn the ignition off 
And spin around 
Your help is here 
But I'm parked in this open space
Blockin' the gates of love

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah-yeah

I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, holy water, holy water
I am overcome

Beautiful drowning 
This beautiful drowning
This holy water 
This holy water 
Is in my lungs

And I am overcome 
I am overcome, yeah-yeah
And I, and I, and I am overcome

. . .



I caught a glimpse of heaven last night 
To the left of your body, to the right of your mind 
Lost in a riddle, I was helpless to understand 
I went to a healer, the healer held my hand 
She said all of these things are written in the sand behind me

Oh, I dream about you every night 
I call your name, the whole world thinks that I am insane 
Here I come again, yeah

I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Through a crack in the mirror that fractalized the light 
A saint is a sinner, a sinner is a saint 
It's all just the cloaks we hide behind, a cartoon in the brain
And I say, all of these things are written in the sand behind me

Oh, I dream about you every night, babe
I call your name, the whole world thinks that I am insane
Here I come again 

Oh, playin' the hero of love 
Takin' you higher 
I wanna be your hero of love 
Is it gettin' better? 
Is it gettin' brighter? 
I wanna be your hero 
Your hero of love, oooh, of love

Of love
Of love

I caught a glimpse of heaven last night
Was that a number 96 or was it a 69? 
Oh, I was lost in a riddle, I was helpless to understand 
I went to a lover, this lover held my hand 
She said all of these things are just written in the sand behind me

Oh, I dream about you every night, baby
I call your name, the whole world thinks that I am insane
Here I come again 

Oh, playin' the hero of love 
Takin' you higher 
I wanna be your hero of love
Is it gettin' better?
Is it gettin' brighter? 
I wanna be your hero 
Your hero of love, oooh, of love

Of love
Of love
Of love

I wanna be your hero of love
I wanna be your hero of love
I got to be your hero of love
I wanna be your hero of love

I wanna move mountains
I wanna move the devil
I wanna move presidents, armies, everybody, everybody

I wanna be your hero of love
