Abracadabra

I was lost in paradise

I was washed ashore

I was praying someone

Would walk right through that door.

I was hung in effigy

I was flayed alive

I was lost and lonely

And struggling to survive.



Say that you need me

Say that you care

Say you believe in me

(say it, say it, say it)

And i'll be there, oh yeah.



I was baked alaska

Burning deep inside

I was wandering 'round this earth

Trying to find a place to hide.

I was mr. heartache

I was ripped and torn

I was hardly living

Until you came along.



(chorus)



Come on and say it

Whisper in my ear

Come on.



A ripple of uncertainty

Became a tide of change

That wave became an ocean

Now you're out of range.

Seen heaven in a rainbow

Many splendid things

None compare, none come close

You're my everything



Say that you need me

Say that you care

Say you believe in me

Say it, mean it, say it, and mean it

Say it, and mean it, say it

And i'll be there, oh yeah.

I believe that this world was made for everyone

I can see all that wealth won't make a champion



All that matters in my world (life)

All that matters to me is you

Only you, only you

All that matters, only you



I don't care what people say, what people do

(let 'em talk)

I don't share that state of mind, that point of view

(let 'em sue)



(chorus)



From the top of my head to the tip of my toes

From the sole of my shoes through every stitch in my clothes

Each beat of my heart, each molecule

All that matters to me is you

All that matters to me is you

All that matters to me is you

Believe me it's true

(you're all that matters)

Now i wish you'd believe it too



Only you, only you

Boy got paparazi, rich lead to slum

Let him think the grass is greener, it always is for someone

Pilgrims and penitents, saying it's the end of the world

Let them wallow in their sorrow

I want to live like there's no tomorrow, with you girl



World turns (world turns)

Spins round (spins round)

Goes round and around and around and around

I'm spellbound

All day (all day)

All night (all night)

Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down, shake it down

I'm spellbound



Sun probes and moon shots explore the universe

Outer space must be a great place

Yet we're stranded here on earth

With tit for tat killers, junkie gurus

Let them wallow in their sorrow

I want to live like there's no tomorrow, just with you

(i want to live, just with you)



World turns (world turns)

Spins round (spins round)

Goes round and around and around and around

I'm spellbound

All day (all day)

All night (all night)

Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down, shake it down

I'm spellbound (i'm spellbound)

Spellbound



World turns (world turns)

Spins round (spins round)

Goes round and around and around and around

I'm spellbound

All day (all day)

All night (all night)

Shake it down, shake it down, shake it down, shake it down

I'm spellbound

When we gonna learn, when we gonna learn to turn

When we gonna learn to turn this world around

When we gonna learn, when we gonna learn to turn

When we gonna learn to turn this world around



(when we, when we gonna learn, show me, show me when)



When we gonna learn, when we gonna learn to turn

When we gonna learn to turn this world around

I was a rich man, i was a thief

I was a sailor, shipwrecked on a reef

I was a coward, i was afraid

I was couragious, man i was brave



Until the oceans dry

Until the day you die

Until the stars fall out the sky



Welcome to the real world baby

Welcome to the way things are

Welcome to the real world darling

Step on for shangri-la

Welcome to the real world baby

Paradise guarantee

Welcome to the real world

Come and see what we've bequeathed



I was an angel, idolised

I was a devil in a disguise

I was a stalion, i was a mule

I was misguided, but nobody's fool



(chorus)



The day that i was born, daddy placed me on his knee

Said son you've got to be, a better man than me

You're inherriting the world, make your mark on history

Welcome to the real world, be what you've got to be



Welcome to the real world

Do you remember sunday nights, summer time at shoom

Joy big enough to fill the world, just inside that room

Do you remember friday nights at the hacienda?

Armistace for gangs, no fights, just beats to make the world surrender



Was it all a dream?

Was it some nightmare?

Crazy as it seems

Love was in the air

No war, no hate, no more

If you'd unlock the secrets of your

No war, no hate, no more

If you'd unlock the secrets of your heart



Day to day existence got its gentle grip on you

Suffocating your soul, eclipsing everything you do



(chorus)



Everybody just looking for an answer

Everybody till the day they die

Everybody live with indecision

Everybody seek, everybody find

Everybody want to dance till sunrise

Everybody want to sweat some noise

Everybody want to kiss that dj

Every single girl, everysingle boy

Everybody got their own sweet wisdom

Everybody just a look to start

Everybody got it, inside their heart



(chorus)



No war, no hate, no more
