Mirage Of Faraway


What kind of people are in this town? *beep* and idiots. That's what it takes to make the world go round. Which one are you?
It is it
It is I
I am it
Ain't I
It is not
What I am not
What am I
I am a man
A man in no man's land
I understand
I hate to work
But I need a job
You got any ideas?
I won't do this
And I won't do that
You got any ideas?
I hate to work
But I need the dough
You got any ideas?
I know
Maybe I come work for you
You be the boss, I'll be the slave
I'll do your dirt while I'm digging my grave
I'll bury my bones when I break my back
But I'll be back
Again
Tomorrow
You know why?
Cause I'm moving on up
You know why?
Cause I'm moving on up
What about you, you working?
Not me
You know why?
Cause I'm moving on up
I walked into your ocean
Freed like a slave
Laid down in your waters
Like a shallow grave
The sound of your laughter
It rose on the waves
An angel flying by
Looked me in the eyes
And she said I can be hip
It ain't the gig. It's everything around it. It's what happens on the way to the gig - that's the gig.
This one is for all you famous people out there
Fame - the temptation is killing me; maybe the suspense

Who is going to make it
Who is going to make it big
Who's just doing what you do
But who's who
You dig
There's a party on the line
It's raging in the hills
And burning up space and time
Like hundred dollar bills
I'm stuck here in limbo
Trying to make it in this town
Cause if you ain't moving up
You're moving on down
The world's turning inside out
And you fat cats don't know what it's all about
You haven't made it in this town
Until you've gotten out
I love the ocean. It's so deep. It understands everything. Experiences everything. And survives everything.
I saw an angel fly by
She looked me in the eye
She said I could be hip
Or I could be hypnotized
She said life is living life
Life as we know it, is dreaming life
G-d is a poet, who lends
He said to me, son
Haven't you heard
Live your life
It's your life, isn't it
It takes emotion
To understand
Live your life
To awaken to the new
