(Scatting by Scatman John)

I've been checking out the structure of all I have done
It ain't what I expected but it's what I become
The stress I've created from the lie of my game
Is not on the contract signed with my name
Spoke to a prophet who was bored with the job
Keep singin' and dancin' he'd be telling them off
As soon as you're elected you're gonna be rejected
All you've got is the moment

'Cause everything changes
'Cause everything changes

I'm sitting on an anthill here at the top
My head's become so swollen I expect it to pop
I'm looking for a hole in the wall of my spell
There's gotta be a way a path to the way outta hell
My plane's about to crash;I've been flyin' too high
All that I can to now is surrender or die
If there's anything I wanna say or want you to do
Keep livin' in the moment

Live in the moment
Life is for living in the moment
Live in the moment
Because it lives for you, yeah

My life's so exciting there is no life at all
I'm trying to ride a tidal wave but can't help but fall
Suspended animation ,I'm a puppet on a string
A canary in a cage expected to sing
Yo yo momma,here I am at the top
And your little Johnny boy ain't ever gonna flop
I try to keep my face while I'm keeping up the pace
I'm livin' in the moment

'Cause everything changes
(Scatting by Scatman John)
'Cause everything changes
(Scatting by Scatman John)

Yeah I've looked everywhere and I still haven't found
A new way of livin' that's wholesome and sound
Where speaking is wordless and closed eyes can see
Where all is at peace and we all can be free (yeah)
Everybody's speakin', yet nobody talks
And everybody's shakin' and awalkin' that walk
Unspeakable treasures begin to unfold
From stayin' in the moment

Live in the moment
Life is for living in the moment
Live in the moment
Because it lives for you, yeah

Live in the moment ('Cause everything changes)
Life is for living in the moment (Yeah, 'cause everything changes)

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Love is not possession and it can't be possessed,
If I should try to own you ,I'd be like all the rest.
I've learnt from past conviction that love is not addiction,
I've tried that many times and failed the test (Scatting).

Baby,baby,baby,you're so good for my soul,
Baby,baby,baby,I'm the one you can hold.
I've simply got to tell from the bottom of my heart,
The first time that I saw you I was sure right from the start.


Only you,
Only you,
Only you,make my dream come true.
Only you,
Only you,
Only you,make my dream come true.


(Scatting by Scatman John)

What you are is just enough,
Don't have to be no more (Scatting).
I don't care 'bout the way you wear your hair (Scatting).
I don't need to mold you,
I only want to hold you,
Girl,so you can breath a wholesome breath of air (Scatting).

Mama,mama,mama come get your baby boy,
Mama,mama,mama you're my sadness and joy.
Your're my life (Scatting), shining bright (Scatting),
You're the beginning of the rest of my life.

Someone's got to be the clown who's creating the sound and makes the world go round


(Scatting by Scatman John)

I'm a topstar,rock star,shooting star,falling star,hero and a sample success
I got gold-plated toilet tissue
Money never is an issue
TV people call me as their guest (Scatting)
I got low hangin' trousers all the way to the top
All the things a home boy could ever be
My life is so upgraded
My ego's so inflated
That I've become an X-rated fantasy (Yeah)

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business

I'm the Captain of Charisma and the Sultan of the Soul
I'm looking I can set you all free
Just look at me,it's plain to see
It's obvious,you must agree
I'm everything you'll ever wanna be
I take my name as serious as any popstar can
I'ma leader and an icon and a revolution man
I'm starring in a video I'm to hot to flop
I'm the goal of every seeker and my ratings never drop

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Well I'm rising to the top and you can see I'm really hot
And you know I'm everything I portray
I'm so hip-slickin' cool and so charismic as a rule
That I don't take the time to finish what I say
Popstar,lollipop,popsicle,hall of fame
Look at me,I'm bigger than life
I've got patent leather shoes and I never pay my booze
And I don't sing the blues or take a wife
Everthing you've heard me say so far is a joke
An open mind and sense of humour is our only hope
I want to say just one more thing before I move along
I betcha really glad we're near the end on the song
I leave you now,take a bow
Hope you all agree
A popstar isn't everything it's cracked up to be
If I have to do anything it's what I wanna say
A pop is an explosion,all you've got is you today

Someone's got to be the hero
Someone's got to do the job
Someone's got to do the business
Someone's got to be the fool
Someone's got to be the hero

Too hot to flop,too hot to flop (Just look at me)
Too hot to flop,too hot to flop (Yeah)
Too hot to flop,too hot to flop (Just look at me)
Too hot to flop,too hot to flop

You're sitting on a milk mornin' noon and night
Fantisizin' the American dream
You're lookin' pretty good and you've got yourself conviced
That the nightmare isn't a s bad as it seems
You try your best to hide yourself beneath your turned up collar
And a plastic bag is all you've got to show
And your books inside your shopping cart
Is probably the best education you're ever gonna know (Hmm)

The guy in the Mercedes is just hard on with the dollar
Better grab it 'cause the signal's turnin' green
And while you're at it put the jug behind the picket fence
'Cause the copper's driving past you lookin' mean
Institution,contribution,restitution,destitution
Doesn't mean a thing to you now
You're the freeway feature
For your audience are driving by
So maybe you should stand and take a bow

Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation
Of another day on the street,sing with me

(Scatting by Scatman John)

You're sitting in the same spot
You want to go home
But there ain't no home but home on the range
You've forgotten what you look like and it looks like you've forgotten
That the look inside your eye is very strange
Ain't nothing left to hide
You're stripped of all your pride and all you feel inside
Is a hole a mile wide
You're the freedom desperado
And the perfect living model
Of a land that hasn't any good excuse

Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation
Of another day on the street,sing with me

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Sittin' on your milkcrate ,blanket wrapped around you
I see you sitting day after day
I really like to talk but I know if I approached you
You'd probably get up and walk away
You're wishin' that your home of the American dream
Wasn't only smoke and exhaust
I love you desperado and all I gotta say
You let me know how much I really lost

Your living in desperation
And you never have felt complete
You live in anticipation
Of another day on the street,sing with me

(Scatting by Scatman John)

Imagine a land of love
Where people have time to care
Where everybody's equal
And we all tell the truth

If you're wondering where this magical place is
You don't have to look too far
You'll find it between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes

The society of Scatland is composed of
Very loving caring people who have
Never even heard of political corruption
Class distinction, war and all the
Other stuff that goes on in the world of earth people.
Everyone is equal in Scatland.
Everyone is equal. Everyone is equal.

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.

All people of Scatland are very childlike they have
Had happy complete childhoods they were
allowed to develop their imaginations to the fullest.
There is only love and happiness in Scatland
Hatred and resentment?
Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of.

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be
That's all there's ever been - for you and me

I wonder if you're wondering where Scatland is?
It isn't far away. I'll take you there now.
Just close your eyes, make a wish, give yourself a hug.
You're half-way there, just love yourself - love yourself
And a dream will come true. You'll find yourself in Scatland
And suddenly discover that the person from Scatland is you.

The people of Scatland speak in Scatish
Scatish is a language not quite like a leprechaun
It sounds like a language of the people of earth
Who speak in a tongue of their own.
You're all from Scatland. Hatred and resentment?
Well that's unheard of. It's unheard of.

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.
We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.

This is a brand new day know what I say,
Love is understanding.
Believe me believe me believe me.

We've got to believe in love - that's all there ever will be
That's all there's ever been - for you and me.

If you're wondering where this magical place is
You don't have to look too far
You'll find it between your deepest dreams and warmest wishes

I've looked everywhere, and I never really found
Somebody like you who was wholesome and sound
Where both of us knew we could see with closed eyes
Where neither of us had the need to tell each other lies

Nothing really mattered much as long as we're together
We can change with the seasons, no matter what the weather
Where we could be in harmony, together every day
Knowing when we're young and old that we could always say...

I'll always want you by my side
To give you what you've been denied
I need you to know I want you

I can feel you
I can see you
I will let you
Touch me

I can hear you
When you call me
When you say you
Love me

Work days, holidays, every day's a good day
Everything the way we know it's gotta be
Accepting you without the need to change the way you are
Alone, together, checking out the stars

Knowing we could leave, but neither of us ever would
Both of us together through the sad and the good
Totally devoted as lovers and friends
And suddenly we realise that love never ends

I'll always want you by my side
To give you what you've been denied
I need you to know I want you

I can feel you
I can see you
I will let you
Touch me

Has anybody ever been to Lebanon?
Does anybody really care to go, at all?
Anybody want to go to Lebanon
Where you can read the writings on the wall?

Do the caravans still ride across the sand
Or is the season causing everything sacred to fall?
Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land
Or has their song been silenced over the centuries, to all?

Does the sun still kiss the earth in Lebanon?
Does the moonlight still reflect the sand at night?
Can a prophet still come out of Lebanon
Or has the thirst for profit changed the times?

Do Phoenecian spirits dance across the sand?
Do the cedar trees still standing next to the ocean still grow?
Do the sages sing their chant throughout the land
Or has their song been silenced?



Does the temple still exist in Lebanon
Or have the winds of time been blowing hard, for all?
Does the mosque still sing the hymn of Lebanon
Reciting old inscriptions from the wall?

Do the caravans now crawl across the sand
And is the season causing everyone sacred to cry?
Can the people of the land still hear the call
Or has the song been silenced over the centuries, to all?

I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
that it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I've got to tell you that
it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I'm believin too much in
all the stuff in my head
It's a hassle in the mornin
to get up outta bed
I'm holdin on to secrets
that are too hard to see
An I'm thinking everybody
is abetter than me I try to
keep doing
what I think I gotta doIf
I make a mistake
you're gonna think
I'm a fool
I'm always back again
to the point where
I began I'm afraid
I need help
don't offer your hand
I know you know they know we know
I don't know nuthin
but I gotta keep bluffin
I'm thinking
they're thinking
you're thinking
I'll drink
Feelin so confused
that I think I wanna sink
It's so hard to talk
when you're walking in shock
It's so hard to see
when you're pretending
you're free
Don't know how to give
and I've had all I can take
Everybody's to blame
when you can't play the game

I've got to tell you that
it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I've got to tell you that
it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I've been namin
and a gamin
and a framin
and a blamin
It's a pattern
I've been weaving
for a long long time
It's hard to begin
but surrender means win
And it certainly
is better than losing your mind
I know that you've been thinking
I've been talkin
bout me I made it that way
for a purpose you see
Scatman's really only
tryin to get through
To help you discover
he be talkin
bout YOU
The things that hold me
back are right here in my head
The sabateur
can't endure
he has to go to bed
I want to live life in
spite of what I think I think
that my opinion should be thrown
to the sinkI wanna do better
but I don't know how
But if I'm gonna start
I better start right now
I try to survive
and I've gotta let you know
If I want to live at all
I gotta gotta let go

I've got to tell you that
it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I've got to tell you that
it's time to let you know
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go
I've got to tell you that
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
that you've got to let it go

I've got to tell you
I want to tell you
I've got to tell you
I want to tell you

Excuse me, may I interrupt you?
There's something I must tell you
There's someone special in there waiting
Who wants to meet you
They have a message (They got a message)
For you

[scatting]

If I could only take a second
Or even just a minute
I'd like to give you all your lifetime
And put you in it

They have a message (They have a message)
For you

All I wanna do is give you yourself
If you haven't got you, then there ain't nobody else
If you listen late at night, you can hear someone cry
The little voice is callin' you the victim of the lie
Nothing else makes sense, break down the fences
To the truth of yourself, without the defenses
Nothing could be greater than the great imitator
Fallin' prey to the truth that will set your soul free
Happiness is simply your dreams coming true
And your dreams will come true if you're just true to you.

[scatting]

There's really nothing else that can set you free
There's nothing else that makes sense to you and me
The time is right now, there's no more fight now,
Just meet yourself and then you'll learn to see

Excuse me, may I interrupt you?
There's something I must tell you
There's someone special in there waiting
Who wants to meet you
They have a message
[scatting]

They got a message...

Whoa...
I've been watchin' your performance since I was just a boy
You're so diplomatic and you're actin' so coy
I see you on the TV at night when I'm in bed
Can a blind man understand the color red?
I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway
You're talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say?
Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk
But everybody knows you're not walkin' what you talk
I see you eating out, I don't mean to be rude
But you're so busy readin' menus, you forgot to order food
You're livin' in the image of a long-forgotten dream
You're actin' out the action of a bad movie scene
Your campaign slogan says you want to make a change
You want to help the hungry and the mentally deranged
Stop being arrogant, get down off your shelf
'Cause you can't help no one if you can't help yourself.

Chorus:
Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes)
Shut your mouth and open your mind
Shut your mouth and open your mind (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes)
Shut your mouth and open your mind
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa

You pretend that you listen, you don't hear what we say
You're so far from the truth you can't see the light of day
You messed up your mind, 'cause you took the easy road
And actin' understanding only made you grow old
I wish I'd like to tell you the things I wanna say
But first you gotta chip out the lies in your way
There's too many like you, and no matter what you say
Whoever wrote the lines forgot to throw them away.
I'd really like to tell you what you don't wanna hear, man
Everything you're living for is grounded in fear.
As long as you keep talkin' up the side of your neck
You'll never understand why your life is a wreck.
Just listen to the song, that's as close as you'll get
You'll get, to any sense of hope to get your soul out of debt.
It effectively elaborates the pattern that you weave,
We all see the ace that you keep up your sleeve.

Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, he just lost his mind)
Shut your mouth and open your mind (Check it out boys, he's just hard to find)
Shut your mouth and open your mind (Take it easy boys, he don't know what he's sayin')
Shut your mouth and open your mind (Easy does it boys, get down.)

[scatting]

I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes)
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa

I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, easy does it boys, he just lost his mind)
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Check it, check it, check it out boys)

I see you at the podium, how gracefully you sway
You're talkin' real clear, but are you hearin' what you say?
Your lips keep movin', talkin' as you walk
But everybody knows you're not walkin' what you talk

I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes)
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind) [scatting]
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind, steppin' on your own shoes, steppin' on your own shoes)
I'm tellin' you yeah, whoa (Shut your mouth and open your mind)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The fire of desire's causing too much pain
There isn't much to lose or to gain standing in the rain.
It's drivin' me insane.
As far as I can see, the dream has been forsaken
We need to reawaken and stop standing in the rain.
Yeah, standing in the rain.
Stop standing in the rain.
[scatting]
Somebody stop the rain,
Stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain. (Standing in the rain...)
Somebody stop the rain,

Somebody stop the rain, uh-huh,
Stop the rain, stop the rain--I'm drippin' and I'm soakin' wet.
[scatting]
A silent kind of thunder flashin' through my soul,
My mind's feelin' hot but I'm cold standing in the rain.
Standing in the rain.
The words of the sages, written on the pages,
Impossible for me to see, I'm standing in the rain.
Drivin' me insane. [scatting]
Keeps raining, yeah.
[scatting]
Somebody stop the rain,
Stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain. (Standing in the rain...)
Somebody stop the rain,
Whoa, stop the rain, stop the rain. (Yeah, stop pollution)
Somebody stop the rain,
Stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain. (Standing in the rain...)
Somebody stop the rain, yeah,
Stop the rain, stop the rain--uh-huh, God knows I'm soakin' wet.
They try to tell you day's night, wrong's right, black's white,
Tell me what you're saying when you're praying standing in the rain.
Standing in the rain. (Standing in the rain...)
The moral of the story, you can take it from me,
Take a look and you'll see that we're all standing in the rain.
I just can't play that game.
Yeah, somebody stop the rain,
Stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain. (Yeah, stop corruption)
Somebody stop the rain,
Uh-huh, stop the rain, stop the rain. [scatting]
Somebody stop the rain,
You hear me children, I'm talking. (Stop the rain, stop the rain, stop the rain)
Uh-huh, whoa, I'm dripping and I'm soaking wet.
Yeah.

well I know it ain't, but you know I don't mind
I always know where you are, you never know where I am
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible man
You'll never know where I've gone, you've gone and done it again
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible man
Going once, going twice, fuck this I'm gone
You've been looking for days now
oh but I'm not around
I've been finding new ways how
to see that I'm never found
I always know where you are,
you never know where I am
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible man
You'll never know where I've gone, you've gone and done it again
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible man
Going once, going twice, fuck this I'm gone
You can see right through me, outta sight, outta mind
can you see why it's easy, to be the hardest to find
I always know where you are,
you never know where I am
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible man
You'll never know where I've gone, you've gone and done it again
You've got me sneaking around like the invisible
Like the invisible man Like I'm invisible, going once, going twice, three times, fuck this I'm gone

But how can someone win if winning means that someone loses.
I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.
I want to be a human being not a human doing.
I couldn't keep that pace up if I tried.
The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention.

Everybody stutters one way or the other.

누구나 말 더듬거릴 때가 있잖아.


So check out my message to you.

그러니까 내 얘길 잘 들어봐.


As a matter of fact and don't let nothin' hold you back.

어떤것도 널 막지못하게 해.


If the Scatman can do it so can you.
스캣맨이 할 수 있다면 너도 할수있어.

모두가 스캣맨이 말더듬이라고 놀리네.


But doesn't ever stutter when he sings.

그치만 노래할땐 멀쩡하다구.


But what you don't know. (I'm gonna tell you right now)

그치만 넌 이건 몰라. (그러니깐 내가 지금 말해줄게)


That the stutter and the Scat is the same thing.

말더듬이와 스캣이 같은 거란걸.


Yo I'm the Scatman.
그래, 내가 바로 스캣맨이다.


Where's a Scatman?...I'm a Scatman...

The state of the condition insults my intuition.

지금 이 상태는 나의 직관을 모욕하네.

그래서 날 미치게 만들어, 내 심장은 딱딱해져.
