From the morning to the night, love is all you think about You hear the sound of every beat of every heart you get to meet How many hearts can be in rhyme? More than one, it’s not a crime All the love you give away is the only one you keep but there will come a time, in a different place, at a different time When free love will be understood, i bet we’ll see you there dancing, dancing to romantic music You can turn water into wine, You do that with a golden smile But like a dream you never come true and everyone knows everything you do Where will they go, when you come home, the ones you know? Do they have somewhere to call their home? There’s no more light now that you’re gone Oh, There must be someone else to love, someone else in the background Blinded by your light, we stay up every night We’ll keep you here with us cause that’s where you belong You can turn water into wine, You do that with a golden smile But like a dream you never come true, and everyone knows all the things you do Where will you go, when they come home, the ones you know?  Do you have someone to call your own? There’s no more light now that they’re all gone but there will come a time, in a different place, at a different time when free love will be understood I bet we’ll see you there dancing, dancing to romantic music

Now, now you’re walking alone, You feel it in your bones, The need to be alone No one else but yourself, No one else around On your own Oh how good it must feel To be someone for real Now you are on your own Now, now you’re walking alone, Cut yourself out of stone You need to walk alone Someone else’s hand With no one else around All alone Oh how good it must feel To be with someone who’s real To be all by yourself, Be on your own On your own On your won

By the time you are a little older : past age 25, life gets a little harder You say "it's right to the top, right to the top where it happens" so I say ‘hey ok' cause I don’t wanna run, no Cannot get any younger so i just say “hold on” I see you standing there, stumbler in your stare, we’re getting closer now I say i’ll be right there, wait until you get a little older now    I guess it’s time to figure out who you are and where to start Love what you do, do what you love Stare at the sky, don’t rush it all The things you need, the things i didn't The things i said, the things you wanted The things i know, these things i know by now Love what you do, do what you love It’s hard to live without love Endless summers with your friends Laugh ’til you cry then laugh again What you see is what you get The future is starting now wIthout love, without love, without love, without love, without love, without love without love, without love without love, without love without love, without love without

I really hope you go there, before you turn 45 You got a head and heartache for quite some time It will get better some day with someone else along the way Been there, done that, when your hideaway is your flat It’s time to go outside but take it slow Time to see the world, time to grow ‘cause you’re sad all together lonely for diner, home alone for the summer Now it’s time to say your last goodbye, Go to Bombay or Shangai!  and then come back to yourself and to your soul Traveling into your true soul Now it’s time for us to let you  go, go, go until you know, know, know … You’ll go out dancing until the sun is shining then you’ll have breakfast by the pier, sleep all day until the next evening Join the navy, be a sailor, see the world around the corner The waves will wash away the pain, wash away the grief and the grievance Oh you’ll get to meet all kind of freaks What got you down is just boredom ‘cause you, you’ve got a heart made for loving You’ve got eyes screaming “I need adventure!” and a face made for dreaming Then you’ll come back, feeling sad all together missing the arms of your lover, still lonely for supper Although you had a special time, both in UK and Shangaï It’s time to come back to yourself and your household

Get in! It’s a crypt and it’s a joint, It’s life without a map The meal is on the house, the password is “neon” It’s located by the sea, it’s hidden in the woods It’s right over the hill, all roads lead to Rome Get in when you’re over and done with standard living in your town called Nadasville The Cult of Less It is based upon a very simple scheme The Cult of Less is nothing more than the new deal ‘cause less is more than the shadow of happiness brought to you by color paper printed money The Cult of Less is here to stay cause obviously money cannot buy everything Right on, they’re just a bunch of kids, but kids make a dangerous crowd Honest as the day is long, they say no to overtime And often they go out, and sometimes they have fun Drinking like it is their job, embracing oblivion (The Cult of Less) It is based upon a very simple scheme The Cult of Less is nothing more than the new deal ‘cause less is more than the shadow of happiness Brought to you by color paper printed money They will carve your name in wood and take your breath away Make an upgrade on your karma, with pleasure make you stay It’s a crypt and it’s a joint, it’s life without a map The meal is on the house, the password is neon (eon, eon, eon) The Cult of Less is here to stay ‘cause obviously money can’t buy everything

Oh you see the world is on your shoulders now For they’ll destroy your past to build another shopping mall Cause that’s what they do Cheer up my son, believe and hang on To the words of birds, sadly godforsaken Together we’ll grow our own tomatoes Free range eggs for all, for eagles don’t fly with pigeons And I am believing in you Oh Oh And it’s all depending, you know On things like moon votes Let’s build the house of Better Days That’s what the message says The birds will sing it through, sing it through just for you And if the mission goes horribly wrong At least you’ll have a song to sing along Let’s believe in what nobody ever will Let’s believe in the reign of the turtle Easier said than done until, easier said than done until Up in the hill, up in the hill You’ll see us rolling in, rolling in, rolling in You’ll see us rolling up a hill While they’ll be standing still We’ll be walking home

f you want to see the desert in the sun,  The blood red of the sky, the orange of the sand Nothing else but dust on this bed of iron,  still another gold rush is starting on  How far away is your moon from the sun?  Where will all your money go once your feeding the ground?  You said the world was flat like animals were dumb,  Now you string along with the bees on the run In for a penny, in for a pound,  Rocky mountains are your back up plan  So if you long to be there, boarding is at gate 751  Two moons under the moonlight Empty seas and crystal walls Pioneers of Martian Life Life is always greener on the other side  How far away is your moon from the sun?  Tell me how blue is your sea? How yellow is your sun? How far away is your moon from the sun?  Where will all your money go once your feeding the ground?  How far away is your moon from the sun?  I hope your trip will be worthwhile, to the back of beyond  Two moons under the moonlight Empty seas and purple grass Pioneers of Martian Life Life is always greener on the other side

Yes! we are pioneers! But we were never built We are just a vision, a vision on the run! Walking cities! We're walking cities! No! you wouldn't believe all the things we see We keep moving around! Walking Cities! We're walking cities! Walking Cities! It's amazing how we move to the music of the spheres Yes we travel overnight, we do run high We are pioneers! but we were never built Yes! We are just a vision, a vision on the run Walking Cities! We're walking cities! No, you wouldn't believe all the places we see No, you wouldn't believe all the places we see No, you wouldn't believe all the places we see No, you wouldn't believe all the places we see

Here again, while you are out, I  try to put the world to rights I Rack my brains and try to figure out   How to make you change your mind Restoring sight to the blind mustn’t be that hard, Still, why is it they talk so loud?  Here comes my secret agenda to fight this nonsense propaganda   Oh they do weep and they do cry, They march the streets with angry eyes So all we need to make this stop is to set up a huge blackout I live in such a silent town, It’s more than time we have some fun I’ll give them psychedelic drugs so they come back to their senses Blow their ideas with dynamite, it should be easy with all the drugs The wind of change is really coming, the most surprising night uprising Here comes my secret agenda to fight their nonsense propaganda I’ll give them psychedelic drugs so they come back to their senses Blow their ideas with dynamite, it should be easy with all the drugs The wind of change is really coming, the most surprising night uprising Here comes my secret agenda to fight their nonsense propaganda
