Disease, disease, spreading the disease
With some help from Captain Trips
He’ll bring the world down to his knees
Power, yes power
He’ll show them all his power
It pulses through his ice cold blood
A whole world to devour
He’s seeing, he’s calling
His legacy he’s spawning
He’s coming, corrupting
Among the living
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Say, up in Harlem at a table for two
There were four of us: me, your big feet, and you
From your ankle up, I’ll say you sure are sweet
From there down there’s just too much feet
And now I know
Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say
I thought I knew
But now I know that rose trees never grow
In New York City
Until you’ve seen this trash can dream come true
You stand at the edge while people run you through
And I thank the Lord there’s people out there like you
I thank the Lord there’s people out there like you
I thank the Lord for the night time
To forget the day
A day of up-, uptight time
Baby, chase it away
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
Thank you, thank you, thank you kindly!
Thank you, thank you, thank you kindly!
Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence
Don’t paint the silence black, now save me
Don’t leave a day
You got a right to stand or die, so maybe
You take chances all the same
Pain comes in stages
If we don’t make it
Nothing changes
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
It’s the reason why your teething side frustrates me
You are a sun goddess! Uh-oh!
Will you save me? Babe… babe… babe…
'Cause it’s all in the heat of the moment
It’s all in the pain
So give in to the heat of the moment
Give in to the pain
We’re having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature’s rising,
It isn’t surprising,
She certainly can can-can.
She started a heat wave
By letting her seat wave
In such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can.
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced and danced danced
Dance with me, I want to be your partner
Can’t you see the music is just starting?
Night is falling, and I am falling
Dance with me
Fantasy could never be so giving
I feel free, I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up, and kick your feet up
Dance with me
Let it lift you off the ground
Starry eyes, and love is all around us
I can take you where you want to go
Tug in the sound as if to say
There’s left a part of now in yesterday
The hurry for fear to miss the show
Not as strong as the wind’s eternal blow
Dark as the night comes to share
With stars in her hair
And grand majestic flair
Framed, a world passes by
With the sound of a young girl’s sigh
Man carrying a brow
Smoke rises from the crowd
Here for now
Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night
You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!
Welcome to the abandoned land
Come on in child, take my hand
Here there’s no work or play, only one bill to pay
There’s just five words to say as you go down, down, down…
You’re gonna burn in hell
Oh, burn in hell
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
This world ain’t ready for The Ark
Save yourself a penny for the ferryman
Save yourself and let them suffer
In hope
In love
Mankind works in mysterious ways
Welcome to hell, to my Planet Hell!
Bring tea for the Tillerman
Steak for the sun
Wine for the women who made the rain come
Seagulls sing your hearts away
'Cause while the sinners sin, the children play
And then the ferryman said,
There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now (don’t do it!)
You must pay me now (don’t do it!)
And still that voice came from beyond, whatever you do
Don’t pay the ferryman
Don’t even fix a price
Don’t pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
Take me to the other side
I’m looking for another kind of love
Oh Lordy, how I need it
The kind that likes to leap without a shove
