Is it a drug? I wouldn’t know, but it’s 10 a.m. and I am moving way too slow
I need to get a movin’ on, but I just can’t get this hitch out of my get-along
So I’m going to the grinder, filling up the pot,
Putting in a filter, come on show me what you got
The magic bean, the magic bean, it’s the most amazing thing that I’ve ever seen
The magic bean, my kingdom for a cup of magic beans
I want a new drug, one that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel feet, feet, feet thick
All this talk of getting old
It’s getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I’m comin’ down
Now the drugs don’t work
They just make you worse
But I know I’ll see your face again
No no no no, I don’t sniff it no more
I’m tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door
No-no, no, no-no, no-no-no-no
No, no-no, no, no, no-no, no-no, no-no
No-no-no-no, no-no, no, no-no, no
Nobody can do the shing-a-ling like I do
Nobody can do the skate like I do
Nobody can do boogaloo like I do
Nobody can do Philly like I do
Do the Hustle.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo…
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da, their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da, they’re meaningless and all that’s true
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can’t you be blue over me?
Now that it’s over, I realize
Those weak words you whispered, were nothing but lies
And it stacks up badly that it never makes sense
You sense that sensation is who’s paying the rent
And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies
She says: “Can’t you slice the price of your paradise?”
You know and I know, rent means dough,
Landlord’s goin’ to put us out in the snow,
Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown,
what you goin’ to do when the rent comes 'round.
John Brown died that the slave might be free
John Brown died that the slave might be free
John Brown died that the slave might be free
But his soul is marching on!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory! Hallelujah!
His soul is marching on
Echoes in rain
Drifting in waves
Long journey home
Never too late
Black as a crow
Night comes again
Everything flows
Here comes another new day
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alle-alle alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith
Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you’ll see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Some say that knowledge is something that you never have
Some say that knowledge is something sat in your lap
Some say that heaven is hell
Some say that hell is heaven
They say that heaven is ten zillion light years away
But if there is a God, we need Him now
Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach her ears
Frightening her with the visions of eternity
Screaming for a future that can never be
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home
To thee, I’ll return
Overburdened with care
The heart’s dearest solace
Will smile on me there
No more from that cottage
Again I will roam
Be it ever so humble
There’s no place like home
I don’t know what I’m searching for.
I never have opened the door.
Tomorrow might find me at last
Turning my back on the past.
But time will tell of stars that fell
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back
Home, sweet home.
You can never go home any more.
