Why, oh why, do I try and try
Spinning wheels up in the sky
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I wanna sing this song
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Feel colours of Joy
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I wanna sing this song
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Got a feelin’ today’s the day
See the light shinin’ on the bay
My, oh my, like Gazelles out in the wild
But we are here and still alive
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I wanna sing this song
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Bathe in colours of Joy
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
I wanna sing this song
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Got a feelin’ today’s the day
When my head is upside down
And my world seems twisted all around
Here inside the shadows of my mind
I find pink elephants
Dancing everywhere
Yeah, pink elephants
Callin’ out what’s hiding there
They’re lighting up my screen
Adding color to my dreams
Like some psychedelic, neon sign
They sure are fine
Well, I know when trouble is in store
And those wolves are waiting at my door
Something comes to put them on the run
A ton ‘o pink elephants
Make such an awesome sound
Those pink elephants
Be tearin’ up my town
Got they big heads up
Smell that coffee in my cup
Casting shadows on the ground
They keep on comin’ around
I need to feel the ocean
Before I ride the waves with you, my love
Together in our secret worlds
Living what is true
A message of love
Only for you
An anchor through the changing tide
Are we strong enough to take this ride straight through
Just me and you
We’ll plant some flowers in the yard
Won’t run away when things get hard
My love is waiting for you
Out there on the open sea
Restless waters surrounding me
And I pray, everyday
We find the courage to endure
Before we paint this brand new door
with love
Gotta know that’s it’s me that you’re thinking of
I need to feel the ocean
Before I ride the waves with you
Ride down to the core, my love
Take me to your secret world
Gotta know what you’re lookin’ for, yeah
Da da da da da da
Got a message of love
I need to feel the ocean
(da da ba ba da, da da ba ba da)
Ba da ba ba da da
Future’s cloudy, things are feelin’ strange
Our lives are changing, bein’ rearranged, yeah
Can’t hardly talk to people that I knew before
Marchin’ left or runnin’ to the right
Either way, it’s gonna be a fight, yeah
How did we get here
Seems like nobody really knows
‘Til the sun goes down
Just following the wind, whichever way it blows now
‘Til the sun goes down
On a back road
Sometimes it’s lonely
Missin’ how we used gel like homemade macaroni
All I can say is we’re not in Kansas anymore (no, no)
Just keep on starin’ at a shiny, blue screen
With trees and the ocean on a 3D stream
Hit with endless contradictions
It all hurts my head
‘Til the sun goes down
I’ll keep heart an open and some food in my fridge
‘Til the sun goes down
There’s a faraway star shinin’ over that bridge
‘Til the sun goes down
‘Til the sun goes down
Nobody seems to notice faces turning pale
‘Til the sun goes down
Singin’ Kumbaya while the ship’s setting sail
‘Til’ the sun goes down
‘Til the sun goes down
Holding on so tight
To everything I thought I needed
And when I saw the light
I walked away bleeding
Shouting to the world
Things nobody wants to hear
But the truth is never gone
It’s just hiding undercover (hiding for a while)
But it won’t ever disappear
So, join the crowd or go it alone
Find someone to call your own
Dance with the seasons of attraction
Wallow in this web of distraction
Don’t know what we don’t know
‘Til we’re taken by surprise, in the twinkle of an eye
Things aren’t what they seem
We hold on still and keep believing in the dream
The world is upside down
I try to find some peace (so much uncertainty)
Yeah, I try to find some peace
So live to eat or eat to live
Fill yourself up with something to give
Stand with the armor of a cosmic kiss
Amidst the forces of the dark abyss (fallen angels)
Always a choice
Don’t you let them take it away
Before we say goodbye
And we’re taken by surprise
Taken by surprise, in the twinkle of an eye
When you wake up in the morning
Do something you believe in
Do it all the way, with all your might
Do it all the way, until it’s right
No matter what it takes
No matter what they say
If it takes a lifetime
Or just moments of your day
That’s when pie in the sky
Becomes your little slice of heaven
When you wake up in the morning
The sun still shines above you
The past is gone behind you
Your heart is there to guide you
No matter what you feel
If you’re battling the pain
When you’re strong enough to stand again
Then something will be gained
That’s when pie in the sky
Becomes your little slice of heaven
Oh, don’t let it slip away
Oh, we all can lose our way
When you wake up in the morning
Remember it’s a new day
There’s nothing but the future
Nothing standing in your way
Forget about what’s over and
Forget what never was
I take another step
But I can’t run just yet
Only got one leg up off the floor
I go from A to B, move past L, M, N, O, P
Then watch me walk right through the door
Been a slow slide on a bum ride
Crashed down into a whirlwind tide
I gather up the pieces of my broken pride
Yeah, I been up and I been down
Dizzy when I hit the ground
Been chillin’ on this wild and crazy ride, sing it
Ba da ba ba da, ba ba ba ba ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba da
Ba ba ba ba ba da, ba ba ba ba ba da da da
baya ba ba ba ba ba da
Step 1, 2, 3, 4
Other leg up off the floor
Right now I couldn’t really ask for more
I take another step, yeah, it’s not over yet
There’s something out there I just can’t ignore
A test of will or twist of fate, either way I won’t be late
Got all my senses now that I can see
What lies behind this painted veil
A grand disguise and a fairy tale
Only the truth will make me free, sing it
Ba da ba ba da, ba ba ba ba ba da da da
Ba ba ba ba ba da ba ba da (vocalizing)
baya ba ba ba ba ba da
Step 1, 2, 3, 4
I drag myself up off the floor
Although it’s not like where I was before
This time I think I know to get wherever I can go
Got legs, got feet, steppin’ up, can ya’ feel that heat
A test of will or twist of fate, can’t afford to hesitate
Sometimes it’s really more than I can bear
But I’ll take another step, could be the best one yet
(yeah, yeah, hay, hay)
I’ll take another step, then I won’t have regret
I’ll take another step, ‘cause it’s not over yet
Surrounded by darkness
On a midnight train
Took all my heartache, loneliness and pain
Blew it out into the night air
Then I wrote this song
Wondering how it happens
When things turn out so wrong
Ripe tomatoes in the sunlight
The wicked witch out in the rain
Raging like a madman
with no one left to blame
Mussolini tryin’ to ease the pain
Bad for you
Yes, it was bad for me
I guess for once we do agree
Bad for you
Yes, it was really bad for me
Some things just weren’t meant to be
Quasimodo in the moonlight
Wet cement stuck in your toes
Workin’ hard to keep a secret that everybody knows
Continue conversation while I doze
Bad for you
Yes, it was bad for me
I guess for once we do agree
Bad for you
Yes, it was really bad for me
Some things just weren’t meant to be
(wasn’t meant to be, yeah)
I’d like to thank you for your patience
I guess something was broken from the start
Together we share the memory of what could never be
And this I tell you from the heart
Bad for you
Yes, it was bad for me
I’m glad for once we can agree
Bad for you
Yes it was really bad for me
Some things just weren’t meant to be
I walk ahead
Then fall behind
Watching the clouds
Caress my mind
I hear the wind
Call to the stars
A world beyond
These prism bars
Caught in the hands of time (go ‘round and ‘round)
Fall through the hands of time
Caught in the hands of time
It’s all in the hands of time
Caught in the hands of time (go ‘round and ‘round)
It’s all in the hands of time
Dance with the hands of time
It’s all in the hands of time
Dance with the hands of time
It’s all in the hands of time
Dance, move in time, rhythm and rhyme
Dance, aaah, aaah
Dance, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
La da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da da
Forever still
Forever still
Time says goodby
I don’t know why, someday I will
Long way to go
Memories in tow
The embers of chance
They light up and dance
Enjoy the show
La da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da la da da da la da da da da
La da da da la da da da la da da da da
Aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aah
