Sideways

i asked the silver one on one
tell me who i am
lines on your finger says
you wouldn't understand

i asked the silver one on one
tell me what's the score
lies on your picture says
you wouldn't need much more
in the meadow

i asked oblivion just for fun
tell me what to say
climb up the mountain boy
and look the other way

i asked a million questions
of the world i want to be
and the signs i remember
who's the one they got to me

in the meadow,
looking for life in the world
everything's fine
in the meadow
ceiling's so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time

we asked a wonder one on one
please tell me what to be
call down the miracles
and save yourself for me

we asked a river one on one
please tell me what you see
i see forever
and it looks like you and me
in the meadow

looking for life in the world
everything's fine
in the meadow
ceiling's so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow
looking for life in the world
in the meadow
everything's fine
in the meadow
ceiling's so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow

in the meadow
looking for life
in the meadow
feeling so fine
in the meadow
seeming so high
life might be listening
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow

i said nadine, whatcha thinkin' of?
why don't you love me like you did again
because lately, all the stars above
have been holding hands and singing your name

well unchain me from your ball of love
and i promise not to sin again
because nadine, you're the only one
drives all the boys crazy insane

she doesn't love me quite
the way that i hoped she would
nadine's got that certain vibe
that makes you feel
you ain't doing the things you should

i said nadine, it's you i'm dreaming of
and there's one thing i wanted to say
and that's maybe, when all is said and done
we can be lovers at the end of the day

no one in this world
makes me feel the way she do
oh nadine made me feel so fine
and then she made me feel so blue
well i just used to sit and smile
and think it wasn't meant to be
'cause i don't know
if you were mine
i don't think i would know just what to do with you
nadine

i said nadine, tell me what you're thinking of
i said nadine, i'm in love
i said nadine, tell me about the stars above
i said nadine, i'm in love

step inside the reason why we look together then we find
come inside the world's a ball we rise above it as we fall
everybody's open air so love me love me -- love me where?
a million things and one to fly (say) life's a witch and then you smile

took a trip inside
your heart has seen much better days
before we hit the high here's to you
sideways

the moon is warm the river's high and love, forever never dies
check inside yourself and see that life is what you want to be

took a ride inside
your heart has seen much better days
and before we hit the right one here's to you, sideways
here's looking at you sideways
sideways
dreaming of you sideways

sideways

had a dream where everybody looked like someone else
the farthest i could get from was the closest to myself
tonite i'll dream tomorrow's going to be that better day
and in the morning i'll remember you, sideways
sideways

sideways
here's looking at you sideways
sideways
i'm dreaming of you sideways
gonna give it to you sideways

is it new, is it old
is it something sahara can hold
is it you, is it me
is it something sahara can see
jump in the middle of something you want it to be

was it love at first sight
did you have to think about it twice
what's the word, what's the deal
was it love in an automobile
jump in the middle of something you wanted to feel

we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world

is it new, is it old
is it something sahara should know
is it you, is it me
in the future sahara will see
we'll jump in the middle of something we wanna believe

we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world [daddy's ok, things are so effecient]
we want love all over the world [kids are allright watching television]
we want love all over the world [momma's ok , her dress is really bitchin']
we want love all over the world [everything cool when she's in the kitchen]
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world [daddy's ok, things are so effecient]
we want love all over the world [kids are allright watching television]
we want love all over the world [momma's ok , her dress is really bitchin']
we want love all over the world [everything cool when she's in the kitchen]
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world
we want love all over the world

i heard you whisper on the train
you weren't as free as you'd been lately
before we walk this way again
i could tell you stories that changed me

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
nobody wants to feel they're being left out

i heard you whisper in the trees
you weren't as free as you could have been lately
before we wonder one of these
i could tell you stories that saved me

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
and nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody want a family and a fancy house
nobody wants to feel they're being left out

so let's sit at home and count the stars and think it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about

and even when it rains
love protects you
call her secret name
and don't forget you
want a world you can't explain

'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about
nobody wants to feel they're being left out
not everybody wants a family and a fancy house
everybody wants to know what love is all about
so let's sit at home and count the cars and laugh it out
'cause everybody wants to know what life is all about

don't forget you
want a world you can't explain
