He said hold a dollar bill up to the mirror
And I'll show you something funny
It's only a fast buck, but
It's so hard to make that kind of money.
Now it's hard to get serious when the joker
Is laughing
And by now the joker is wild
It's hard to keep laughing when a rich man's
Reflection
Looks like a gun that's gonna smile
What's going on, I ask you
What's going on, can you see?
What's going on, I ask you and
Who's coming on, is it you or me?
Coming on while it's still soft and warm
Burn it dry before the fiery storm
Sing it now while you still have a song
Grab on now while you're still feeling strong.
How long, how long would you like it
How long, how long will it be
How long, how long can we take it?
How long before we take it back, you and me
Think fast.
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast I think he's coming through
Think fast, he thinks he's running you
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he thinks he's coming in
Think fast, I think he's wearing thin
I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he's taking all your time
Think fast, you know he's out of line
But who cares, you know you can, you will, you
Know you can.
Sing it now while you still
Sing it now while you still
Sing it now while you still have a song.

Miracles
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.
I might have to move heaven and earth to prove
It to you, baby
So we're makin' love and you feel the power
And I feel the power
Then there's really nothing that we can't do
If we wanted to, baby
We could exist on the stars
It'd be so easy
All we gotta do
Is get a little faith in you
Oh, I've been (to) so many places
I've seen some things
I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better
And all the answers to our prayers
Hell , it's the same everywheres, baby
Nothing ever breaks up the heart
Only tears give you away
Then you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya
Oh baby, baby, baby, love is a magic word, yeah
Few ever find in a lifetime
But from that very first look in your eyes
I knew you and I had but one heart
Only our bodies were apart
That was so easy, so easy
I had a taste of the real world
When I went down on you, girl.
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.
I can hear windmills and rainbows
Whenever you're talkin' to me
I feel like swirling and dancin'
Whenever you're walking with me
You ripple like a river when I touch you
When I pluck your body like a string
When I start dancin' inside ya
Oh baby, you make me wanna sing
Yeah, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh yeah, all right
Baby, we're sure doin' it tonight
Everytime you come by, let me try
Pretty, please sugar on it
That's how I like it
I can't even believe it, with you
It's like having every dream I ever wanted
Come true
I picked up your vibes
You know it opened my eyes
But I'm still dreamin' yeah
And you're right where I found ya
With my arms around ya.
Refrain (2x)
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I
If only you believe like I believe, baby
We'd get by
If only you believe in miracles, baby
So would I.
I might have to move heaven and earth to prove

Sweeter Than Honey
Baby, if I had your lovin', I'd have everything
I needed
If anybody told me I wouldn' a believed that I'd be
Head over heels in love with you, baby
Now all the unfinished dreams on the
Unmade beds
Are ungathered blackberries in my head
Baby, I know really am in love with you.
Cause you're sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun and
Darker than night to a blind man
Softer than starlight shinin'.
So let's get together and make love
Ain't nothing else to be prouder of
I need you bad, baby, you're the best thing I ever had
If you can do it, you can get it
You can bet, I'm gonna get your everlastin' love
Gotta be more where that came from, baby
Gotta get me some/ gotta get me some
'Cause it's sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun
Darker than night to a blind man
Softer than starlight shinin'.
Sweeter honey
Sweeter honey
Warm as the sun
Warm as the sun
Darker than night
Darker than night
Softer than star
Softer than star
Baby, I love you
I can't dance you outta my mind
I hear shoutin' in my heart
When you're in these arms of mine
When you satisfy my days and nights
Gratify my appetites
I never felt so good
Must be your lovin', baby
Must be your lovin'.
'Cause it's sweeter than honey, baby
Warm as a piece of the sun and
Darker than night to a blind man
Softer than starlight shinin'.

Play On Love
Now when you open your mouth, what comes out
What's the first word, what's the first line?
When you open your mouth and love comes out
Then you know, you just sang the clear line
I've heard people say it a thousand times
In a thousand different ways
I've heard people play it a thousand times
And they know, they know that's the only way
To play.
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
Now are you talking about what it is you know
Or just repeating what it was you heard
Someone told you just exactly what to say
And you know, you know that's only one set
Of words
You got to play on love.
I've heard people say it a thousand times
In a thousand different ways
I've heard people play it a thousand times
And they know that's the only way to play
You been a reading it without living it
Now that's the golden prison we can always find
Living in stories and living in books or
We can live and leave all the stories behind.
It's up to you and it's up to me
Come down yelling timber through the
Burning trees
Who's been telling you about perfection
And how did he get in here, that's the question.
He must've
Played on love
Played on love
Played on love
Played on love.
I've heard people say it a thousand times
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
Reading it without living it
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
What's the first word, what's the first line?
When you open your mouth and love comes out
Then you know, you just sang the clear line
I've heard people say it a thousand times
In a thousand different ways
I've heard people play it a thousand times
And they know, they know that's the only way
To play.
You got to
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love
Play on love.
Now are you talking about what it is you know
Or just repeating what it was you heard

I Want To See Another World
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world.
I think you might see a great ship up in the sky
Like an eagle, like a stallion
Might be a burning silver wheel
Let you know you can fly
Look up in the sky
Look up through the darkness
I think it might be love.
I want to see another world
For me and my child
My old lady, too
Maybe you
If we can
If we get to
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
I want to see another world
When all the sky is darkness
When all the ground you know is gone
How the solar wind she blows
Snowy silver dragon sings the songs
Flying straight up to the sky
Great singing engines sigh and
Drive this metal fragment into time.
Let's try to get along with each other
Sister and brother
Father and mother
Everyone's a lover.
