Take it easy  
Take it easy  
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy

I remember when,  
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind  
There was something so pleasant about that place  
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space

And when you’re out there without care  
Yeah, I was out of touch  
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough  
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?  
Does that make me crazy?  
Does that make me crazy?  
Possibly

Remember is a place from long ago  
Remember filled with ev’rything you know  
Remember when you’re sad and feelin’ down  
Remember turn around

Dream; love is only in a dream, remember.  
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream.

Long ago, far away, life was clear, close your eyes.

Close your eyes. Count to three. Make a wish.

Come with me and you’ll be  
In a world of pure imagination  
Take a look and you’ll see  
Into your imagination

We’ll begin with a spin  
Trav’ling in the world of my creation  
What we’ll see will defy  
Explanation

If you want to view paradise  
Simply look around and view it  
Anything you want to, do it  
Want to change the world, there’s nothing to it

There is no life I know  
To compare with pure imagination  
Living there, you’ll be free  
If you truly wish to be

</div>

But in the depth of a dream  
Where the grass is always so green  
And the sky is always blue  
I’m escaping silently  
I’m rejecting violently  
This world for something new

[Imagination](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVYBfPNnlTk)  
Living mental isolation  
Imagination  
Imagination  
Far from your contamination  
Drifting in my inner space  
Imagination

Imagine there’s no Heaven  
It’s easy if you try  
No Hell Below us  
And above us only sky  
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries  
It isn’t hard to do  
Nothing to kill or die for  
And no religion, too  
Imagine all the people living life in peace

Imagine no possessions  
I wonder if you can  
No need for greed or hunger  
A brotherhood of man  
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You may say I’m a dreamer  
I’m not the only one  
I hope some day you’ll join us  
And the world will live as one.

Gazing through the window at the world outside  
Wondering will Mother Earth survive  
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

After all there’s only just the two of us  
And here we are still fighting for our lives  
Watching all of history repeat itself  
Time after time

I’m just a dreamer  
I dream my life away  
I’m just a dreamer  
Who dreams of better days

This pretty planet, spinning in space  
You’re a garden, you’re a harbor, you’re a holy place  
Golden sun going down  
Gentle blue giant, spin us around  
All through the night  
Safe till the morning light

I don’t wanna be your friend now, baby  
But I. I wanna move it just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me  
You look like you’re lots of fun  
Open up your loving arms  
Watch out, here I come

You spin me right round, baby  
Right round like a record, baby  
Right round round round

You spin me right round, baby  
Right round like a record, baby  
Right round round round

I ain’t lookin’ to compete with you  
Beat or cheat or mistreat you  
Simplify you, classify you  
Deny, defy or crucify you  
All I really want to do  
Is, baby, be friends with you.

Put another log on the fire  
Cook me up some bacon & some beans  
And go out to the car & change the tire  
Wash my socks and blow my old blue jeans  
Come on baby you can fill my pipe & then go fetch my slippers  
And boil me up another pot of tea  
Then put another log on the fire babe  
And come & tell me why you’re leaving me

Six soccer socks, stepping to the beat

‘ve got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand.  
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command.  
A lively pair of heels that kick to beat the band.  
Contemplatin’ nature can be fascinatin’.  
Add to these a nose that I can thumb,  
And a mouth by gum have I,  
To tell the whole darn world if you don’t happen to like it deal me out,  
Thankyou kindly Pass Me By

Well I’m still the same old me, that’s all I’ll ever be  
I’d like to think that you’re the same old you  
We lost something down the line that I wish we both could find  
Lord I’d like to do the things that we used to do

When it was burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then  
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end  
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show  
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know

I remember when rock was young  
Me and Susie had so much fun  
Holding hands and skimming stones  
Had an old, gold Chevy and a place of my own  
But the biggest kick I ever got  
Was doin’ a thing called the Crocodile Rock  
While the other kids were rockin’ ‘round the clock  
We were hoppin’ and boppin’ to the Crocodile Rock.

Well, Crocodile Rockin’ is somethin’ shockin’  
When your feet just can’t keep still  
I never knew me a better time  
And I guess I never will  
Ow, Lordy mama, those Friday nights  
When Susie wore her dresses tight  
And the Crocodile Rock was out of sight.

Well, the years went by and rock just died  
Susie went and left me for some foreign guy  
Long nights cryin’ by the record machine  
Dreamin’ of my Chevy and my old blue jeans  
But, they’ll never kill those thrills we got  
Burnin’ up to the Crocodile Rock  
Learnin’ fast as the weeks went past  
We really thought the Crocodile Rock would last

Do you remember those days hanging out  
At the village green?  
Engineer boots, leather jackets  
And tight blue jeans  
Drop a dime in the box play the  
Song about New Orleans  
Cold beer, hot lights  
My sweet romantic teenage nights

Brenda and Eddie were the  
Popular steadies  
And the king and the queen  
Of the prom  
Riding around with the car top  
Down and the radio on  
Nobody looked any finer  
Or was more of a hit at the  
Parkway Diner  
We never knew we could want more  
Than that out of life  
Surely Brenda and Eddie would  
Always know how to survive.

Brenda and Eddy were still going  
Steady in the summer of ‘75  
When they decided the marriage would  
Be at the end of July  
Everyone said they were crazy  
“Brenda you know you’re much too lazy  
Eddie could never afford to live that  
Kind of life.”  
But there we were wavin’ Brenda and  
Eddie goodbye.

We were out on a date in my Daddy’s car  
We hadn’t driven very far  
There in the road, straight ahead  
The car was stalled, the engine was dead  
I couldn’t stop, so I swerved to the right  
Never forget the sound that night  
The cryin’ tires, the bustin’ glass  
The painful scream that I heard last

Well, where oh where can my baby be  
The Lord took her away from me  
She’s gone to heaven  
So I got to be good  
So I can see my baby  
When I leave this ol’ world

He drove his car to the racing grounds  
He was the youngest driver there  
The crowed roared as they started the race  
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

No one knows what happened that day  
Or how his car overturned in flames  
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck  
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her  
Tell Laura I need her  
Tell Laura not to cry  
My love for her will never die

He sort of smiled and kissed me good-bye  
The tears were beginnin’ to show  
As he drove away on that rainy night  
I begged him to go slow  
But whether he heard, I’ll never know

Look out, look out  
Look out, look out

I felt so helpless, what could I do?  
Rememberin’ all the things we’d been through  
At school they all stop and stare  
I can’t hide the tears but I don’t care  
I’ll never forget him, the leader of the pack
