lightning crashes, a new mother cries  
her placenta falls to the floor  
the angel opens her eyes  
the confusion sets in  
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies  
her intentions fall to the floor  
the angel closes her eyes  
the confusion that was hers  
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

And please come in peace, we beseech you  
Only a landing will teach them  
Our earth may never survive  
So do come, we beg you  
Please interstellar policeman  
Oh won’t you give us a sign  
Give us a sign that we’ve reached you.

Calling occupants of interplanetary craft  
Calling occupants of interplanetary craft …

Send a message out across the sky-  
Alien raiders just passed Gemini.  
Who will come and save us now?  
Who can defend us from the power?

Tell the people back at Earth control-  
Send Starfleet legions to save our souls.  
Always daring and courageous,  
Ooh, Only they, only they can save us!

Performing on a stool  
we’ve a sight to make you drool  
Seven virgins and a mule  
Keep it cool. Keep it cool.  
We would like it to be known  
the exhibits that were shown  
were exclusively our own,  
All our own. All our own.

Now, for ten years we’ve been on our own and moss grows fat on a Rolling Stone, but…  
That’s not how it used to be  
When the Jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean  
In a voice that came from you and me  
Oh, and while the King was looking down the Jester stole his thorny crown  
The courtroom was adjourned - no verdict was returned  
And, while Lenin read a book on Marx the quartet practiced in the park, and…  
We sang dirges in the dark the day the music died

Sometimes I get overcharged  
That’s when you see sparks  
You ask me where the hell I’m going  
At a thousand feet per second

Hey man slow down, slow down  
Idiot slow down, slow down

Boy, boy, crazy boy,  
Get cool, boy!  
Got a rocket in your pocket,  
Keep coolly cool, boy!  
Don’t get hot,  
'Cause man, you got  
Some high times ahead.  
Take it slow and Daddy-O,  
You can live it up and die in bed!

And I hope that you die  
And your death’ll come soon  
I will follow your casket  
In the pale afternoon  
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered  
Down to your deathbed  
And I’ll stand over your grave  
'Til I’m sure that you’re dead.

Life is swell  
You’re off to that small hotel  
And somewhere a village bell  
Will sound in the steeple  
Announcing to people  
Love’s the loveliest thing  
And the bell goes: “Ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding, ring-a-ding ding”

There’s a village hidden deep in the valley  
Beneath the mountains high above  
And there, twenty years thereafter  
Jimmy was to meet his love  
All the chapel bells were ringing,  
Was a great day in his life  
Cause the songs that they were singing  
Were for Jimmy and his wife  
Then the little congregation  
Prayed for guidance from above  
Lead us not into temptation,  
Bless oh Lord this celebration  
May their lives be filled with love

Spring is here, the sky is blue, whoa oh oh  
Birds all sing as if they knew  
Today’s the day we’ll say, “I do”  
And we’ll never be lonely anymore because we’re

Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married  
Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married  
Gee, I really love you and we’re gonna get married  
Goin’ to the chapel of love

Why do birds suddenly appear  
Every time you are near?  
Just like me, they long to be  
Close to you.

We keep our hands above the water  
We know that, someday, we will fly away  
With all the wonder of birds  
With all the wonder of birds

We keep our voices as guarded secrets  
Wait for awhile  
And we will surely sing  
With all the wonder of birds  
With all the wonder of birds

We make a sky where we may be  
We build a home with windows to fly through  
Windows to fly through

We learn to dance with broomstick partners  
Grace will be ours

When we will grow our wings  
With all the wonders of birds

Ah, ah, flying!  
Like an owl, like a bat,  
Or the crow,  
It’s so satisfying!

I’m whizzing  
Through a cloud  
Past the star  
I’m so proud  
Look how far I breeze in  
High over the moon  
Higher I fly  
By old mister moon  
Wave me goodbye

I’m flying.  
(Flying, flying, flying)  
Heading far out of sight  
Second star to the right  
Now the way is clear  
Never Land is near  
Follow all the air  
'Cause I’m about to disappear  
I’m Flying!
