In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria.  
Conditioned to respond to all the threats  
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.  
MIster Krushchev said, “We will bury you.”  
I don’t subscribe to this point of view.  
It’d be such an ignorant thing to do  
If the Russians love their children too.  
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?  
There is no monopoly on common sense  
On either side of the political fence.  
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.  
Believe me when I say to you,  
I hope the Russians love their children too

So long, mom,  
I’m off to drop the bomb,  
So don’t wait up for me.  
But though I may roam,  
I’ll come back to my home  
Although it may be  
A pile of debris.

Remember, mommy,  
I’m off to get a commie,  
So send me a salami  
And try to smile somehow.  
I’ll look for you when the war is over,  
An hour and a half from now!

Oh, give me a home  
Where the buffalo roam,  
And the deer and the antelope play;  
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,  
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

I’ll go home and get my panties  
You go home and get your scanties  
And away we’ll go  
Mmm-mmm-mmm  
Off we’re gonna shuffle  
Shuffle off to Buffalo

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:  
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,  
Stolen from africa, brought to america,  
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

I mean it, when I analyze the stench -  
To me it makes a lot of sense:  
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,  
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,  
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.

Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta -  
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.

I’m a hussar, I’m a Hun, I’m a wretched Englishman  
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo  
I’m a dragoon on a dun, I’m a Cossack on the run  
I’m a horse soldier, timeless, through and through  
I’m a horse soldier, eternal, through and through

Lady I know there, name of Christina  
Six lonely lifetimes since I’ve seen her  
She takes you places your heart cannot go  
During the winter up in Buffalo  
Days by her fire, dazed in the glow  
Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo

Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark  
We drift together, we drift apart  
She’s got the wherewithal, she’s got the knowledge  
It’s wonderful  
I should be going

Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys  
Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise  
And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo  
Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo  
Down in Buffalo

I’m so cold,  
But I’m nice beneath the ice.  
So deep, never doing as I’m told.  
And it’s cold outside,  
But I think you’ll get used to it, darling.  
And it’s dark out there,  
But isn’t scary.  
I’m the cold, I’m the snow,  
Make it hurt until you go.  
I’m the dark, I’m the night,  
I’m a bark, but never bite,  
I’m the snow queen.

Rescue by the first light  
Receiving us with these tears  
Feeling your gaze in the back of my eyes  
Leaving worlds this way

In voice leading to voices  
Last song that the land sings  
In colorful breathless emotional sea  
Leaving us this way

Seeing out the angel  
From the shadow of a day  
That stands alone and crying young  
Singing fascination  
For the twist in anxious days  
That stand alone and crying young  
See out the angels  
For the rescue pools of life  
That stand alone and crying young

May you grow up to be righteous  
May you grow up to be true  
May you always know the truth  
And see the lights surrounding you  
May you always be courageous  
Stand upright and be strong  
May you stay forever young  
Forever young, forever young  
May you stay forever young.

I’m gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen  
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather

If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful  
I’ll be happy to tell you again  
I’m gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen

Whenever I’m alone with you,  
You make me feel like I am free again.  
Whenever I’m alone with you,

I will always love you.  
However long I stay,  
I will always love you.  
Whatever words I say,  
I will always love you;  
I will always love you.

When I’m alone in my room  
Sometimes I stare at the wall  
And in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call  
Telling me I need a boy who’s as sweet as a dove  
For the first time in my life, I see I need love

There was a boy  
A very strange enchanted boy  
They say he wandered very far  
Very far, over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye  
But very wise was he

And then one day, a magic day  
He passed my way, and while we spoke  
Of many things, fools and kings  
This he said to me

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn  
Is just to love and be loved in return”

I don’t believe in destiny  
Or the guiding hand of fate  
I don’t believe in forever  
Or love as a mystical state  
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets  
Or angels watching from above  
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance  
We can find someone to love  
And make it last

I don’t believe in magic but I do believe in you  
And when you say you believe in me  
There’s so much magic I can do
