We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way Before the rising sun we fly So many roads to choose We start our walking and learn to run Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talking it over just the two of us Working together day to day Together And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow And yes we've just begun Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talking it over just the two of us Working together day to day Together And when the evening comes we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow And yes we've just begun |

People get ready
There' a train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord People get ready For the train to Jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all Among the loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind just To save his own Have pity on those Whose chances GROW thinner Cause there's no hiding place From the Kingdom's Throne So people get ready For the train a-coming You don't need no baggage You just get on board! All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming You don't need no ticket You just than, you just thank the Lord Yeah Ooh Yeah Ooh I'm getting ready I'm getting ready This time I'm ready This time I'm ready |

From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light A lovely woman in motion With hair as dark as night Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark That hypnotized me with love She was a gypsy woman She was a gypsy woman She danced around and round to a guitar melody From the fire her face was all aglow How she enchanted me Oh, how I'd like to hold her near And kiss and forever whisper in her ear I love you, gypsy woman I love you, gypsy woman All through the caravan She was dancing with all the men Waiting for the rising sun Everyone was having fun I hate to see the lady go Knowing she'll never know That I love her, I love her She was a gypsy woman A gypsy woman A gypsy woman A gypsy woman |

A little sugar, honey suckle lamb
Great expression of happiness Boy, you could not miss with a dozen roses Such would astound you The joy of children laughing around you These are the makings of you It is true, the makings of you, oh It's been a miracle for what you've done Please stay right by my side Two can be one for the righteous way to go Anyone would know I believe I thought I told you so You're second to none Love of all mankind should reflect some sign Of these words I'm trying to recite They're close, but not quite Almost impossible to do Reciting the makings of you The righteous way to go Little one would know Or believe if I told them so You're second to none The love of all mankind should reflect some sign Of these words I'm trying to recite They're close, but not quite Almost impossible to do Reciting the makings of you |

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town And let what others say come true? We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at? We people who are darker than blue This ain't no time for segregatin' I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow two High yellow girl, can't you tell You're just the surface of our dark deep well If your mind could really see You'd know your color the same as me Pardon me, brother, as you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story Get yourself together, learn to know your side Shall we commit our own genocide Before you check out your mind? I know we've all got problems That's why I'm here to say Keep peace with me and I with you Let me love in my own way Now I know we have great respect For the sister, and mother it's even better yet But there's the joker in the street Loving one brother and killing the other When the time comes and we are really free There'll be no brothers left you see We people who are darker than blue Don't let us hang around this town And let what others say come true We're just good for nothing they all figure A boyish, grown up, shiftless jigger Now we can't hardly stand for that Or is that really where it's at? Pardon me, brother, while you stand in your glory I know you won't mind if I tell the whole story Pardon me, brother, I know we've come a long, long way But let us not be so satisfied for tomorrow can be an An even brighter day |

Darkest of night
With the moon shining bright There's a set goin' strong Lotta things goin' on The man of the hour Has an air of great power The dudes have envied him for so long Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha Hard to understand What a hell of a man This cat of the slum Had a mind, wasn't dumb But a weakness was shown 'Cause his hustle was wrong His mind was his own But the man lived alone Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha The game he plays he plays for keeps Hustlin' times and ghetto streets Tryin' ta get over (That's what he tryin' to do, y'all) Taking all that he can take Gambling with the odds of fate Tryin' ta get over (4x) Woo, Superfly... The aim of his role Was to move a lot of blow Ask him his dream What does it mean? He wouldn't know "Can't be like the rest" Is the most he'll confess But the time's running out And there's no happiness Oooh, Superfly You're gonna make your fortune by and by But if you lose, don't ask no questions why The only game you know is Do or Die Ah-ha-ha Superfly (4x) "Tryin' ta get over..." (9x) |
