One day you’ll look back  
And when you see  
Where you were held  
How by this love  
While you could stand there  
You could move on this moment  
Follow this feeling

It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright  
She moves in mysterious ways  
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright  
She moves in mysterious ways  
Ah oh oh ah huh  
Move, move, move, move  
She moves with it  
She moves me like  
Lift my days and light up my nights  
Love

She’s like the wind through my dreams

\*Hello Neil and Buzz, I am talking to you by  
telephone from the Oval Room at the White  
House, and this certainly has to be the most  
historic telephone call ever made from the  
White House.

I just can’t tell you how proud we all are of  
what you have done. For every American  
this has to be the proudest day of our lives.

Because of what you have done, the heavens  
have become a part of man’s world, and as  
you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility, it  
inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring  
peace and tranquility to earth. \*

Idle mind and severed soul  
Silent nerves and begging bowl  
Shallow haze to blast a way  
Hyper sleep to end the day

Fly me to the moon  
Let me play among the stars  
Let me see what spring is like  
On Jupiter and Mars

In other words, hold my hand  
In other words, baby, kiss me

Ground control to major Tom  
Ground control to major Tom  
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on  
Ground control to major Tom  
Commencing countdown, engines on  
Check ignition and may gods love be with you.

Standing there alone  
the ship is waiting  
all systems are go  
are you sure?

control is not convinced  
but the computer  
has the evidence  
“no need to abort”

the countdown starts  
watching in a trance  
the crew is certain

nothing left to chance  
all is working  
trying to relax  
up in the capsule  
“send me up a drink”  
jokes Major Tom  
the count goes on

4 3 2 1  
Earth below us  
drifting falling  
floating weightless  
calling calling home…

Ashes to ash and funk to funky  
We know Major Tom’s a junkie  
Strung out in heaven’s high  
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself  
I’ll stay clean tonight  
But the little green wheels are following me  
Oh no, not again  
I’m stuck with a valuable friend  
“I’m happy, hope you’re happy too”  
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

Everyone knows an ant can’t move a rubber tree plant

Making love underneath the bed  
Shooting stars from a purple sky  
I don’t care how I do it  
I’m the man on the flaming pie  
Stick my tongue out and lick my nose  
Tuck my shirt in and zip my fly  
Go ahead, have a vision  
I’m the man on the flaming pie

Don’t you know that you are a shooting star  
Don’t you know? Don’t you know?  
Don’t you know that you are a shooting star?  
And all the world will love you just as long  
As long as you are

Johnny made a record  
Went straight up to number one  
Suddenly everyone loved  
To hear him sing the song

Watchin’ the world go by  
Surprisin’ it goes so fast  
Johnny looked around him and said  
Well, I made the big-time at last

Now my record’s up to number three,  
A woman recognized me and she started to scream.  
This all seems like a crazy dream,  
I’ve been invited to a dinner with a prominent queen.

I’ve tried so many times and that’s no lie  
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry

Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I, oh  
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I,  
Listen

This night these memories lost and found  
Are taking over me  
I could see your picture and hear the sound  
Of the song you sung to me

You gotta feel and take every chance  
You did the right thing  
Drove a thousand miles away  
Out of trace and in another time  
You did the wrong thing  
And bought it back in your mind  
Why’s life so unkind?

For always and ever it’s getting better  
I feel your steps with mine  
I’m moving on like it said in the letter  
Another place, another time

Blown away  
Blown away  
Blown away  
Blown away  
Blown away  
Blown away

Got blown away, a thousand miles away

It’s no bother but  
I’d rather not  
That’s easy to see

Wherever I go  
I yam what I yam  
That does it for me

Believe it or not

It’s a lovely day  
It’s a perfect day  
Blow me down

Oh oh oh oh oh

This is the dance for all the lovers  
Takin’ a chance for one another

Breaking the city’s sight together  
Finally it’s our time now  
It’s our time now
