Walking around with your head in the clouds
You don't care. Why must you walk when you know You're not going anywhere. Why don't you come out of your dream world It's not real. It's not the way it seems to be. Why don't you come into the real world. Come with me. We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams. You'll see. Always pretending that everything's fine When it's not. Why must you lie when you know that You'll aways get caught. Why don't you come out of your dream world It's not real. It's not the way it seems to be. Why don't you come into the real world. Come with me. We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams. You'll see. Why don't you come out of your dream world It's not real. It's not the way it seems to be. Why don't you come into the real world. Come with me. We'll share our thoughts, forget the dreams. You'll see. You'll see. You'll see. |

Fine man, crazy man, he can't see.
Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea. Why do the people always look at me? Nobody can see that we are you, We are you. She's him, too. She's him, too. Fine man, crazy man, he can't see. Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea. Ummmm, hummmmmm. Ummmm, hummmmmm. Solid brass statuary guards the door Used to come as one, now it comes as four. Somebody here just sent for more Red and yellow cartoons saying we need two We need two. More than you. More than you. Solid brass statuary guards the door Used to come as one, now it comes as four. Ummmm, hummmmmm. Ummmm, hummmmmm. Somebody stole they mind. Somebody stole they mind. They way they can't find What is kind. What is kind. Somebody stole they mind. Somebody stole they mind. They way they can't find What is kind. What is kind. Fine man, crazy man, he can't see. Sound of the sunset, sound of the sea. Why do the people walk away from me?

By Carole Bayer and George Fischoff
I wanted you from the first day I saw you, The first day I looked into your eyes. That's when I knew that I would adore you. It was no surprise. We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. You took my hand. Was then you had known it? Was that when you started loving me? Was it the way I smiled that had shown it? Was that the day you could see? We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. We were made for each other As the stars were made for the sky. We were made for each other No other love have I. |

Reasoned verse, some prose or rhyme
Lose themselves in other times And waiting hopes cast cast silent spells That speak in clouded clues. It cannot be a part of me, For now it's part of you. Careful plays on fields That seems to vanish when they're in between And softly as I walk away In freshly tattered shoe. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. Well, Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Sunshine, ragtime Blowing in the breeze. Midnight, looks right Standing more at ease. Silhouettes and figures stay Close to what he had to say And one more time the faded dream Is saddened by the news. It cannot be a part of me For now it's part of you. |

Oh, I could hide neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings. The six oclock alarm would never ring. Whoops its ringing and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shavin razors cold and it stings. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times starts and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. [instrumental interlude] Cheer up, sleepy jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. [repeat and fade] |

Did you know the water's turning yellow? Have you heard the sky was falling down? Did you see that guy fall out the window? Did you know the circus was in town? Have you heard about Bill Chamber's mother? She said, "A woman's work is never done." And, oh yes, about that yellow water, Have you noticed the color of the sun? You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal. Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel? (Instrumental interlude) Well, I hope you finally got my letter. It should have come about this time last year. And I hope Bill Chamber's mother's better. Oh, dear! The moon's just disappeared. You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal. Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel? |

Girl, I know the grass is greener just around the bend,
Gotta say goodbye, but don't you fear, Though the road is broken, I might fail to find the end, I won't disappear. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Looking high, I'm looking low, When I find my boots I know I got to go. Back up on my feet...ah, ah. Maybe I will be a star, or maybe just a clown, Girl, I'll never know until I try, Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down, But you won't have to cry. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Looking high, I'm looking low, When I find my boots I know I got to go. Back up on my feet...ah, ah. SOLO Maybe I will meet a girl who'll try to keep me down, But you won't have to cry. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Chase the moon and sun to find my one and only you. I'll be back up on my feet, I'll be back up on my feet, Looking high, I'm looking low, When I find my boots I know I got to go, When I find my boots I know I got to go, When I find my boots I know I got to go. |

"The circus is coming to town." it said on the poster. "Get your tickets now, before it's too late." A dancing bear and a circus clown it's so funny. I can't wait to see everything there. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. Horse running 'round and 'round in a circle. I can't wait to see everything there. I wonder if it's just like they say on the poster. If it is I know I will be there. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. I feel like I'm already there. I must see her fly through the air. (repeat and fade) |

Love to me is blue-eyed and blonde. Oh, that's sweet Magnolia. Apple pie on the window still warm. That's my sweet Magnolia Walking under a sky that's so blue After rain has fallen. When she's walking so close by my side My troubles seem to just run and hide. (la-dee, da-dum, etc.) Well, walking under a sky that's so blue After rain has fallen. When she's walking so close by my side My troubles seem to just run and hide. Magnolia Simms is my little doll. I can't live without her. For if she goes my world will just fall. Stay with me, Magnolia. (Sound of record skipping) Stay with me, Magnolia. |

Original:
The king of Zor, he called for war And the king of Zam, he answered. They fashioned their weapons one upon one Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun. Out went the call to one and to all That echoed and rolled like the thunder. Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar More upon more. Rolling the call of "Come now to war." Throughout the night they fashioned their might With right on the side of the mighty. They puzzled their minds plan upon plan Man upon man And at dying of dawn the great war began. They met on the battlefield banner in hand. They looked out across the vacant land. And they counted the missing, one upon one, None upon none. The war it was over before it begun. Two little kings playing a game. They gave a war and nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came. And nobody came. (repeat and fade) There is no pause: The king of Zor, he called for war And the king of Zam, he answered.

I set the world back on its heel
I'm gonna show you how I feel Free as a bird up in the sky I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try Now I am chasing rainbows But I won't let that girl know 'Til I have found my pot of gold I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try And when I feel like turning back, coming home What could I say without the rainbow and the pot of gold? Chasing a dream around the sun I feel my life has just begun And if I lose my way I know I've always got someplace to go I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try And when I feel like turning back, coming home What could I say without the rainbow and the pot of gold? Now I set the world back on its heel I'm gonna show you how I feel Free as the bird up in the sky I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try... |

Its old enough to try and tie you down
So, I just couldn't wait and hang around You always said must be free But you couldn't see you were loosing me And messing up the one good thing we had CHORUS: And now I'm going out the way that I came in The game is over now, I couldn't win My heart is all I have to pack And this time girl I wont be back And years from now I'll turn around and see The girl I left behind me I told myself that things would be ok You would come around to my way any day As time went on you just stayed the same No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged I'm picking up the pieces of my life CHORUS As time went on you just stayed the same No, you couldn't chang or be rearranged I'm picking up the pieces of my life CHORUS Behind me... |

Lady's Baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues. (Lady's/Baby's?) mother cooks my meals, Warm and cool is really real... Runnin' never was much fun - All it did was bring me down. Chasin' round isn't where it's at. Tension puts you in the ground. Lady's Baby pulls my hair, Lets me know he's really there. (Lady's/Baby's?) mother touches me, And at last I really see... Runnin' never was much fun - All it did was bring me down. Chasin' round isn't where it's at. Tension puts you in the ground. Lady's Baby lets me know Life was meant for movin' slow. (Lady's/Baby's?) mother knows this too. Lady, I love you. |
