In the eye of the sun,

before the world had begun

Taking it easy,

I was having some fun

Loafin' and a jokin',

it was all energy

No such thing as you and or me

No time,

pure mind

In the eye of the sun,

before the world had begun

It had been a lot of work the last time around

I needed a rest,

a chance to just lie down Always on the go,

no time to kill

a lot of runnin' to and fro,

hard workin' at the mill

So it blew up,

and I flew up into the eye of the sun

before the world had begun

Well I hung around,

I don't know how many years

No more troubles,

no more fears

Had a lot of rest with-a nothing to do

I wanted flesh and blood and skin and bonesa

multi-dimensional universal home

I wanted space and time,

up and downlife and death,

and love all around

I knew there'd be trouble,

but I could pull through

so,

I thought up the world and you did too

Well, variety is the spice of life, babe

That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife

She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why you such a fool?"

I can't resist to try something new'

Well, the judge said, "Guilty in the first degree."

I said, "Can I help it if I dig multiplicity?"

All these pretty women with nothing to do

C'mon and help me try to find something new.

Well, you've gotta try ev'rything once

You better take out some insurance

You gotta try ev'rything once

You better build up your endurance

Well, variety is the spice of life 

That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife

She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why such a fool?"

I can't resist to try something new

You got a full house, babe, I got four of a kind

I'm watchin' six different televisions, all at one time

You know I love you, baby, sad but true

Well, you gotta try ev'rything once

You better take out some insurance

You gotta try ev'rything once

You better build up your endurance

'Cause variety is the spice of life, babe

That's what the judge is gonna tell my wife

She said, "Why'd you have to do it? Why such a fool?"

I can't resist to try something new

Well, you asked how much I love you

Why do ships with sails love the wind?

And will I be thinking of you

will I ever pass this way again?

I'll be returning some day

Until then

please don't ask me my direction

Let my tracks be buried in the sea

Cause to wander's my infection

till the four winds bring you back to me

Don't count your memories

think of me as just a dream

Just like this melody I sing

You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side

Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home

Don't go over the line. You better keep on time

or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride

Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!

You better get your balance, you have to feel the way

There are no more questions, no answers today

There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes

but if you feel it, you can fly next time

you can fly net time, or maybe this time

Did you think we were all together?

Did you think we were all the same?

Did you think maybe I could help you

remember your name, remember the game

what's the name of the game

It's a very good game, never stays the same

It's the number one from mud to sun

You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side

but you're all alone, and we're going home

and we're by your side, but you're all alone

like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones

on a tightrope ride

Don't need none today

Master's gone away

his mind has gone astray

'cause we don't need none today

Did you hear what I say?

Don't need none today

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

ask the mountain men, they've had it

City life's a real bad habit

all the boys are down on the farm

Gonna run a rainbow ragged

ask the mountain men, they've had it

City life's a real bad habit

c'mon along it won't do you no harm

We're goin' down on the farm

Gonna run a rainbow

gonna run a rainbow

gonna run a rainbow

gonna run a rainbow

gonna run a rainbow ragged

Ask the mountain men, they've had it

City life's a real bad habit

all the boys are down on the farm

Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned

Don't you know

life ain't so easy when you're on your own

Well, I'm lonely, I'm ugly, I'm horny, I'm cold

Don't you know

life ain't so easy when you're on your own

leavin' home

Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned

Don't you know

life ain't so easy when you'r on your own

I feel my mind is shaken out of place

I look like a truck ran over my face

The doctor says I'm not a hopeless case

I really wanna join the human race

Well, I got ripped off, wiped out, I got burned

Don't you know

life ain't so easy when you're on your own

Well, I'm tired, I'm nervous, I'm bored, I'm stoned

Don't you know

life ain't so easy when you're on your own

leavin' home

On your own

On your own

Da da da da da 

Da da da da da

Please don't tell me what to do

'cause even if I wanted to

I couldn't throw my life away by listening to what you say

I'm a-tellin' you

Ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way you gonna make me think like you do

No matter if the sun or the stars say I'm wrong

it's just the song of a lonely wandering musician

I'm a-tellin' you

Ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways

No, no, no, no, no

Ain't gonna make me think like you do

It's just the son of a lonely wandering musician

I'm a-tellin' you

ain't nothin' you can do to change my ways

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way

Hey, hey, hey

Ain't no way

Sweet bird of prey you've gone below

all soft and black it's time to grow

Don't be afraid to touch the light

Don't run from love in the starless night

Hang on to your life, it's begun now

Hang on paradise, here we come now

Life is like the wind. Where does it begin?

Time come again. Where's your day now?

Bring me your sun. Light the way now

Just spread your wings and taste the sky

It's time to laugh, it's time to fly

The mountain air is clear and bright

Your shadow world is endless night

Time come again. Where's your day now?

Bring me your sun. Light the way now

Hang on to your life, it's begun now

Hang on paradise, here we come now

Life is like the wind. Where's it gonna end?

Oh people get up and dance

The new day's comin', it's the end of the trance

No need to worry, no need to hide

Ev'rybody is on the same side



Oh people, get up and dance

The future's ours if we just take a chance

No need to hurry or no time to waste

The year two thousand is the cut-off date



Oh people, get up and dance

Like one long electric beam

It's the old crystal Alice dream



Oh people, get up and dance

The new day's comin', it's the end of the trance

The future's ours if we just take a chance

So come on people get up and dance



Yeah, get up and dance

Come on, let's get up and dance

Golden days, get up and dance

We'll have diamond nights



Get up and dance

We got sweet light shining

Get up and dance



Golden days, get up and dance

We'll have diamond nights, get up and dance

Come on people, get up and dance



Come on, get up and dance

Let's dance, get up and dance.

One, two, three, four billion souls are gonna rest

If all our friends don't try their best



To change the way this world is headed for

We can find our happiness, it ain't so hard to find



But look a little further up the line

Just a little further up in time



Don't you see that we could be the first in history

Leavin' all that we don't need behind

We could clean it up and make it shine.

I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac

Take you for a ride in my Cadillac

Well I tried and I tried but I can't make you understand

Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man



If you don't bring my coffee in my favorite cup

You're gonna make it necessary for me to conjure up



Spirits, spirits



I'm gonna hang on your neck just like a verdilac

Take you for a ride in my Cadillac

Well I tried and I tried but I can't make you understand

Baby can't you see I'm more than just a man

You're gonna make it necessary for me to conjure up



Spirits, spirits

Go and tell your daddy that we need some dough

We're gonna get married down in Mexico



We got love don't need no more

But all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

You know, all we got to live on is a hardwood floor



We got love don't need no more

But all we got to live on is this hardwood floor

All we got to live on is this hardwood floor

All we got to live on, all we got to live on

Like I said before



Well I had a lot of money 'bout a year ago

Spent all my money on a rock and roll show

I got a lot to tell you, got nothing to show



All we got to live on is this hardwood floor

On this hardwood floor

Oh, oh, on this hardwood floor

Well I went to see your daddy but he sure got sore



He said you ought to be out there fightin' the war

I asked him for some money, he said what for

I told him all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

You know, all we got to live on is a hardwood floor

We got love, don't need no more



All we got to live on is a hardwood floor

On a hardwood floor, on this hardwood floor

All we got to live on is a hardwood floor.

A bird sings outside my piano

Lark of sweet love singing low

The more I play, the more he sings

He lives right up there in the green trees



Singing to me melodies

And in return I play for him

I played him a song on my piano



Well I played real good

And I played what I could

And in return, he sang for me



He lives right out there in the tree

Giving me his melodies

A bird sings outside my piano



Well I played real good

And I played what I could

And in return, he sang for me



He lives right out there in the tree

Giving me his melodies

A bird sings outside my piano



A bird sings outside my piano

Lark of sweet love singing low

He lives right up there in the green tree



Singing to me melodies

The more I play, the more he sings

A bird sings outside my piano.

You know, it just done slipped my mind

It just done slipped my mind

It's just so hard to find

It just done slipped my mind



I left my body somewhere down the line

It's just so easy to lose track of time

It just done slipped my mind 

It just done slipped my mind

It wouldn't matter, but it's time to meditate.



You know, it just done slipped my mind

My memory's unrefined

They must have spiked my wine

Because it just done slipped my mind



My mind and body are still out of tune

I hope they run into each other real soon

It just done slipped my mind

It just done slipped my mind 

I wouldn't mind, but it's cold here on the moon

It just done slipped my mind.



You now, it just done slipped my mind

My memory's unrefined

It just done slipped my mind



You know, they must have spiked my wine

My mind and body are still out of tune

I hope they run into each other real soon



Because it just done slipped my mind

It just done slipped my mind.

Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth

About the sun and the moon

This time they came down to earth



They passed in the heavens each day up above

Time after time and it soon became love



They could not touch, they could not kiss

They had no flesh, no earthly bliss



So they made a scheme, they made a plan

They would come down to earth as a woman and a man



She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam

They took on human forms to live out a dream



The most beautiful people that I've ever seen

They were the Peking King and the New York Queen

I said the Peking King and the New York Queen.



As fate would have it in the toss of the dice

They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives

Opposite eyes, opposite minds

Such things matter in these troubled times.



Peking in the East and New York in the West

Each place thought that it was the best

But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest

Knew without a doubt that it was all the best



They said what does it matter how you read a book

It's all the same no matter how it looks.



Well the only thing important to the Peking King

Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen



Thousand of miles, they were so far apart

How to get together? Oh, where to start?



On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express

He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west.



No passports, no visas, no government quotas

No secret missile sites in South Dakota



No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream

Of the Peking King and the New York Queen

I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen



Well they found a little island in the Phillipines

It was a perfect little place to live out a dream

They say East is East, West is West

They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet



'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

Of the Peking King and the New York Queen

The Peking King and the New York Queen.
