Lyrics

Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go, alright

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright

When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go

Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go

When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go

Well after you left
My baby’s leaving on that midnight train
And I’m crying
And I’m crying
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go

Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright

Lyrics

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You, you’re all I want to know
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street, there’s no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don’t see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

I can walk down the street, there’s no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd
I can drive down the road; my eyes don’t see
Though my mind wants to cry out loud
Though my mind wants to cry out loud

Dance floor is like the sea
Ceiling is the sky
You’re the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free, I feel free, I feel free

Lyrics

My baby gave your love
And she came from up above
To my name

Oh, what a shame
For all our…

My baby told me all the things
That brought happiness to me
Now I know and now I see what she meant
That night that we spent together

Taught me a lot
Now I know
There’s more reasons still
That I see

She just doesn’t realize
How much she means to me
Soon the truth she will find
She’ll get it from my mind

It happens more to me
Than two fools of yesterday
Our youth are so much ahead
They die before, before they’re dead

The first thought moves too soon
Then it dies
The next one’s better informed
But it’s killed by all your lies

That’s how the young attract young love
They put themselves above

Young love

Lyrics

Out of the darkness came the light
Out of the morning came the night
Out of the wilderness came the wild
And out of the woman came the child

So life began in this way
But the beauty will be gone
Come destruction day

Where’s goodness and mercy
On which life is based?
Has hatred and envy taken place?

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

Now the time of man
Is used as past tense
Destroyed by its maker
For its own lack of sense

Annihilation came
No one could divert its path
Or could they’ve blamed God’s unmerciful wrath?

Now I’m the only one
Left to sing
The psalms of aftermath
Aftermath

Lyrics

If my mind descends
To reach the limit of no end
I see the death involved
Which comes between two friends

When you lose so much
You’re as good as dead
While the heat of my decision
Turn an angry red

It’s all in colors
Colors
Colors
Colors

With a turn of your degree
Just replenished shine
Well, that helps you see
The goodness found in me

Never, never, never, never
Will you find a finer fellow
Who brings the sunshine
Like my captain friend Yellow

It’s all in colors
Colors
Colors
Colors

Look and see
It works for me
The colors turn me on again
Each one is free
Like you and me
It’s groovy when a color’s your friend
All depends which color you’re in

Get this golden band
Don’t let it get the best view
If it does
You may consider yourself all blue

Its ugliness prevails
Now don’t look back
It’s bad is disastrous
The color is black

Such a nasty color
Colors
Colors
Colors

Lyrics

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Now when your baby won’t let you be
And you’ve got enough money in your pocket
To buy yourself a new pair of jeans
Why don’t you call your buddy on the telephone
And say
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Now, it doesn’t do any harm
Ah, just to get a little taste
But don’t blow your cool, yeah
And start messing a place

Now, it doesn’t do any harm at all
Ah, just to try a little bit
Well, as long as you don’t cause any trouble
You can say
Let’s
Oh, I say let’s
Oh, now, come on, come on, come on, come one, come on
Now

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Now, when you work so hard
All the day long
And everything you do
It seems to be going wrong
Why don’t you see your dealer
On your way home and say
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned
Woah, woah, woah
Let’s go get stoned

Oh, yeah

Down On Philips Escalator
What a thrilling ride
It’s a feeling that you’ve never felt before inside

You can set your mind and body moving all around
But your feet aren’t moving, ’cause you haven’t left the ground

Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong

Down On Philips Escalator
Top floor if you please
Ride as much as Philip rides, and see what Philip sees
If your heart won’t let you go and take a ride with Phil
Be obliged and set aside, there’s plenty more who will

Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong
So please come along, but take care, beware
For those sun shining steps turn to ray

Elevators, escalators, take you up and bring you down
Ba ba baba

Down On Philips Escalator
Now it’s time to go
Thank you and we hope that you all enjoyed our show

Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong

Lyrics

See the lovely lady in her gown
News of her is spreading over town
Dressed in red, she dances in the room
I sit and watch and smell her wild perfume

I ask a chance I might be hers alone
She said no, I’m too young to be all…
Right then, it…had begun
If I can’t have her, I won’t have anyone

The long, dark hair on that child drives me wild
This pain inside proves that I’m right
I won’t sleep tonight

Now my lovely lady’s in the past
But how long will her memory last?
I knew the words I sing
Might bring what I crave
Or die with me and written on my grave

Lyrics

Will the…
‘Cause the night time’s here
And the dirt on my hands are down the drain
My hair’s hanging down
For I’m not in town
And anything I do, I’ll take the blame

Well, look out, world
Here I come
Happiness won’t take me long
An hour or two and I’m feelin’ fine
Believe me when I say
That the right time’s night time

Night time
Night time

Well, after a day of pitching hay
Of selling magazines from door to door
Or selling pot or giving shots
It’s always good to know there’s something more

At five o’clock when the day is done
People…just begun
If it’s…or drinking wine
Everybody knows
That the right time’s night time

Night time
Night time
Night time
Night time

So the day is gone
And the…come
And another day of work is drawing near
Well, I won’t feel bad and I won’t feel sad
For I know another night will soon be here
The sun will set and the moon will rise
I’ll walk along under the moonlit skies

If you don’t believe me, just drop me a line
…bet you
That the right time’s night time

Night time
Night time
Night time
Night time

Lyrics

It’s not true

You say I’ve been in prison
You say I’ve got a wife
You say I’ve can’t help doing
Everything throughout my life

It’s not true, it’s not true
I’m telling you
‘Cause I’m up here and you’re nowhere
It’s not true, so there

I haven’t got eleven kids
I weren’t born in Baghdad
I’m not half-Chinese, either
And I didn’t kill my dad

It’s not true, it’s not true
I’m telling you
‘Cause I’m up here and you’re nowhere
It’s not true, so there

If you hear more rumors
You can just forget them, too
Fools start the rumors
And none of them are true

It’s not true, it’s not true
I’m telling you
‘Cause I’m up here and you’re nowhere
It’s not true, so there

You say I’ve been in prison
And you say I’ve got a wife
You say I can’t help doing
Everything throughout my life

Yeah

I haven’t got eleven kids
I weren’t born in Baghdad
I’m not half-Chinese, either
And I didn’t kill my dad

It’s not true, it’s not true
I’m telling you
‘Cause I’m up here and you’re nowhere
It’s not true, so there

It’s not true, it’s not true
I’m telling you
‘Cause I’m up here and you’re nowhere
It’s not true, so there

Lyrics

Hey!

You better listen…
You got to hear what I call
You better pay close attention
Or you don’t know me…

You better listen in the evening
When the sun goes down
Yeah, listen to me, baby
For I ain’t stayin’ around
So give me love (you got to give me love)
…(you got to give me love)
That I want

You know I gave you
More than I could
I trust you up in diamonds
Give up my money if I could
So listen, baby
I…
Come a little bit closer
To what you mean to me

So give me love (you got to give me love)
Well, …(you got to give me love)
That I want

Yeah!

You know that I love you
But what can I say?
The words that would narrow your mind, now
You know that I love you
But what can I say?
I know the day will come you will realize
That I need your love

Now, after all I gave you
I expected…
For just you in diamonds
I trust you in class
Went to the big time
With your name in lines
So hold me close, baby
Let me claim what is mine

So give me love (you got to give me love)
…what I want (you got to give me love)
