Off The Ground

I saw a cat with a machine in his brain
The man who fed him said
He didn't feel any pain
I'd like to see that man take out that machine
And stick it in his own brain
You know what i mean

I saw a rabbit with its eyes full of tears
The lab that owned her had
Been doing it for years
Why don't we make them pay for every last eye
That couldn't cry its own tears
Do you kmow what i mean

When i tell you that we'll all be
Looking for changes
Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures
And we will learn how to grow

Well i tell you that we'll all be
Looking for changes
Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures
And we will learn how to grow
When we're looking for changes

I saw a monkey that was learning to choke
A guy beside him gave him cigarettes to smoke
And everytime that monkey started to cough
The bastard laughed his head off
Do you know what i mean

When i tell you that we'll all be
Looking for changes
Changes in the way we treat our fellow creatures
And we will learn how to grow

When we're looking for changes
We're looking for changes
We're looking for changes
We're looking for changes in the way we are

I have always needed somebody girl,
But i close the doors to keep out the world.
But for you, i would be here all alone,
Locked in a photograph.
All of the clocks have run down.
Lover beware.
We'll be the lovers that never were.

I hang patiently on every word you send.
Will we ever be much more than just friends?
As for you, you sit there playing this game,
You keep me waiting
When all of the clocks have run down,
All over the world.
We'll be the lovers that never were.

For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes,
I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies.
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.

And i know dear, how much it's going to hurt
If you still refuse to get your hands dirty.
So you, you must tell me something,...i love you,
Say goodbye or anything.
All of the clocks have run down.
Time's at an end.
If we can't be lovers we'll never be friends.

For as long as the sun shines in somebody's eyes,
I believe in you baby, so don't tell me lies.
For as long as the trees throw down blossoms and leaves,
I know there will be a parade of unpainted dreams.

Well we're going to, yeah we're going to
Get it right this time.
We're going to really going to
Raise it to the sku.
People are ready to forgive a few mistakes
But let's get started, form a party
Don't you know how long it takes!

C'mon people let the fun begin.
We've got a future and it's rushing in.
Call all the minstrels from the ancient shrine.
Pass down the message that it's right this time.

Well i'm trying to, yeah i'm crying to
Lay it on the line.
We're trying to, really dying to
Get it right this time.
So many yearning for the way it's gonna be.
Believe it when you see it happening to you.,
You know it's real.

C'mon people let the world begin.
We've got a future and it's charging in.
We'll make the best of all we have, and more.
We'll do what never has been done before.
Oh yeah.

Well i'm going to, yeah i'm going to
Get it right this time.
I'm going to, really going to
Raise it to the sky.
I must admit i may have made a few mistakes,
But let's get started, from a party
Don't you know how long it takes!

So c'mon people let the fun begin.
We've got a future and it's rushing in.
Call all the minstrels from the ancient shrine.
Pass down the message that it's right this time.
Oh yeah.

C'mon people let the world begin.
We've got a future and it's charging in.

Now c'mon people.

There must have been a lot of heartache
For you to sink so low.
You must have had a ton of pressure.
Only answer if the answer's no.

I need loving, you need loving too.
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground.

There must have been a lot of magic
When the world was born.
Let me be the one you wish for,
One you call for, when you're all alone.

I need loving, you need loving too.
Wouldn't take a lot to get off the ground.

Off the ground, off the ground.
Fly around, fly around.
Hear the sound, hear the sound.
Off the ground, off the ground.

Though it takes a lot of power
To make a bog tree grow.
It doesn't need a pot of knowledge.
For a seed knows what a seed must know.

You need loving, i need loving too.
Doesn't take a lot to get off the ground.

Off the ground, off the ground.
Fly around, fly around.
Hear the sounnd, hear the sound.
Off the ground, off the ground.

Hear the sound, hear the sound.
Off the groound, off the ground.
Yeah yeah, off the ground.

There was a girl who loved a biker
She used to follow him across america
But the biker didn't like her.

She didn't care, she still persisted
Though her brother said she was twisted
And the family said they wouldn't miss her
Anyway.

She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday.
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away.

She did her best to fix a meeting
She pulled it off one night in hollywood
When he met her he couldn't let her get away.

He didn't ask for her permission
He took advantage of her position
But he was always her ambitiion
Anyway.

She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday.
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away.

The family tried so hard to find her
They showed her picture across america.
But no trace of her sweet face
Was ever found.

She loved the biker like an icon
Gazing at his picture everyday.
She loved the biker like an icon
Slowly watching precious water drip away.

Best thing i ever saw
Was a man who loved his wife
In a place where things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood

That feeling in the air
Something was definitely there
It was a time when things were good
I felt peace in the neighbourhood

I was there, i really was.
At the centre of a love vibration.
People sharing with their friendd.
Helping each other out
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out

Then i woke up from my dream
To see things as they really are
People struggling to survive
How can peace hope to stay alive?

Well i was there...i felt so good
At the centre of a love vibration.
People caring for their world
Helping each other out.
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out.
Peace in the neighbourhood
Helping each other out.

Best thing i ever saw
I saw a man who loved his wife.

Peace in the neighbour hood
Helping each other out.
Peace in the neighbourhood.
