Oooh i love you
Giggle giggle
The surf talks
Do you love me too?

If the surf could talk, i know she'd ask
"do you think you're equal to the task?"
If the surf could talk, she'd say
"beware i love you"

So i'd answer very carefully
And i'd ask if she'd be there for me
And the surf says "always
Beware i love you"

The surf says "i want you like you want me
Am i in you? are you in me?
Tell me"

The surf talks
And it knows what to say
The surf talks
I must learn to obey
The gun cocks, the clock stops, the earth rocks, the surf talks
The surf talks
Puts its tongue on my skin
The surf talks
While it's sucking me in
The door locks and unlocks, the veil drops, the surf talks

She has promised me a beach of pearls
And an endless wave, a perfect curl
And she tells me always
"beware i love you"

She will place the world inside my hand
She will touch the soul of every man
She will take my message
"i'm here to love you"

The surf says "i want you here inside me
Am i in you? are you in me?
Tell me"

We are standing on a beach of pearls
We are riding deep inside the curl
And everybody all around the world
Must surrender when your flag unfurls

We are standing on a beach of pearls
We are riding deep inside the curl
And everybody all around the world
Will be dancing in the sea.

Kid's kind of dirty and a light on you
But talk, talk, talk is all you can do
You want to know how to play a game of show and tell
But you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself
And give them that attitude

You got shrink wrap rap and a prefab smile
Too much substance, not enough style
You got your new age voodoo, but that won't help
'cause you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
So you got to get off on yourself
And give it the attitude

Now that you're ok and i'm ok
Decide to have it out or to get away
If i didn't believe every word i say
I wouldn't be the man that i am today
It ain't no secret, it don't take money
So give it to yourself, in a way it's funny
Just try to do right, and it comes right through
Don't care about the don'ts and do's
If you want to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself, stay up on yourself
Get yourself an attitude

It's the way you walk and the way you talk
And the way you do everything you do
You got the attitude

I've got a great big problem that i can't fix.
I think it's quarter to three when it's half past six.
Everything's early or way too late.
Now i never can remember the day and the date.

Never used to be this much trouble before.
I used to watch the clock but not anymore.
I used to keep track of the time i'd lose,
But now the whole thing has me so confused.

I have to find a new job every week or so,
'cause no one needs a man who's always fast or slow.
Still you'll get no complaint from me,
But what can the answer be?

Where does the time go when i'm with you?
How many hours do i lose every day?
They recombine when i'm missing you,
Slowing me down like a digital delay.

Where does the time go when i'm with you?
Why does it seem like there's never enough?
It's just like i'm living split in two.
Two kinds of time when you're out and in love.

There's only so much pleasure a man can take,
'til his brain starts to go and his senses fade.

Doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep.
Can't feel a thing 'cause he's in too deep.
Walks around thinking that the world is fine,
While an alien force takes over his mind.

And then he throws away every single dime,
And the last thing to go is his sense of time.
But then if you're having fun,
Who cares if you're that far gone?

They tell me that time's not free.
What did time ever do for me?
And if i don't see that's wrong,
Then maybe i'm too far gone.

You got a boy child comin
Gonna be a sonofagun

I have visions, i have visions of a happy land
And in this happy land, happy land
There is still one unhappy man
Because of all the things he wants
There is always something he can't have
It's like a siren singing, like a church bell ringing
I can feel you winning, and my head starts spinning
Now i'm back at the beginning
I, i, i see you lying there and
I, i felt a wave come over me and
I, i, i thought i had escaped you
As i sat down by the roadside
And it hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
It hit me like a long, slow train

It is written, i know it's written
All god's children get smitten
And if there's anyone, anybody
I know the [lord] can fit that description
And if i could turn back the hands of time
Still i wouldn't know what i'm supposed to change
It's like a well gone dry, like a kiss goodbye
As the grip gets tighter, i continue to fight it
Then you strike me with your lightning
I, i, i woke up in a cold sweat and
I, i thought i heard you call my name and
I, i, i had to reach out for your fingers
And before i could call the doctor
You hit me like a train
Hit me like a freight train
When the truth came down on me
Swear you hit me like a long, slow train

Lord you hit me like a train
Hit me like a coal train
When your love came down on me yeah
Say hit me like a long, slow
Lord i feel it coming down and
I, i, i, i, oooh
I, i, i, oh lord have mercy [on me]
I can't hold out no longer
I was ready to surrender
And it hit me like a train yeah
Hit me like a freight train
When your love came down on me yeah
And it me like a long, slow train
Lord you hit me like a train
Hit me like a soul train
When your love, when your love came down on me child
Hit me like a long slow [how long was it] long train
Hit me like a coal train?
