(Check the meaning) When I'm low, and I'm weak, and I'm lost I don't know who I can trust Paranoia, the destroyer, comes knocking on my door You know the pain drifts to days, turns to nights But it slowly will subside And when it does, I take a step, I take a breath And wonder what I'll find Can you hear what I'm saying? Got my mind meditating on love, love Feel what I'm saying Got my mind meditating on love, love (The human condition) (The human condition) Too much blood, too much hate, turn off the set There's got to be something more When Mohammed, Allah, Buddah, Jesus Christ Are knocking down my door I'm agnostic getting God, but man She takes a female form There's no time, no space, no law We're out here on our own Can you hear what I'm saying?

You're just like I was So full of love, so full of love I feel you're taking me back To all those feelings of yesterday Dark and dusty tracks How long can I stay here? How long can I pray here? You know we meet in another space You turn around and I see your face Oh what a fruit, what a tree you shall be You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by the streams (Set a sail) Set a sail for paradise (We'll leave in the morning) (Set a sail) Set a sail to paradise (We'll leave in the morning) I know when I'm losing control I play I am the cosmos And let the feelings roll How long can I stay here? How long can I pray here? You know we meet in another place You turn around and I see your face Oh and what a fruit, what a tree you shall be You'll be fed by the mountains, the crystal streams Then we go for a walk We hold hands and start to talk Oh what a fruit, what a tree this love will be You'll be fed by the mountains, fed by me Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning) Set a sail for paradise (Leave in the morning) Set a sail for paradise Leave in the morning We can leave in the morning Leave in the morning (Set a sail) Leave in the morning Leave in the morning (Set a sail) |

Sometimes you hold the world in your hands Sometimes the world it baffles you with plans Some days you drift oh so easy and free Some nights you sleep in blissful harmony How do we leave the wreckage of our lives? How do you leave the past out in the night? Don't throw away the pictures that give you a smile Don't throw away the memories that make you cry I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers I know that I could learn a little harder There's so much that I want to read and know But maybe I'm a little lazy Maybe I don't really want to know I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) The more I learn of history the more I hate it 'Cos we're repeating things we did a thousand years ago We're building palaces of fortune in the sky There's an underclass dying whilst we smile I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I saw God in the numbers (I saw God in the numbers) I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna |

We are on a rock, spinning silently But I'm safe when you're here with me These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me I need some security, can't you see? Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down The darkness is putting out the light in me She's a well to be dug, she's a university A cosmic library - wait and see We are on a rock, spinning silently Won't you get close to me We are on a rock, spinning in infinity Won't you get close to me Is it my genes that have made me? Is it the things I took, is it the things I said Does karma rule? Well if there's a God well can you hear me now? I am crying out, hoping you know And in my baby's arms I need no faith I need no words to define myself And when I'm holding you, light rushing through I wanna make it now, safe and straight We are on a rock, spinning silently Baby get a hold of me We are on a rock, spinning in infinity Baby consoling me Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send (We are on a rock, spinning silently) I can't live in pain and fear (We are on a rock, spinning in infinity) Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared (We are on a rock, spinning silently) Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end (We are on a rock, spinning in infinity) Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace Oh baby I don't know where I'm going All I know is that I need you as a friend |

I know a headspace that you don't I will - you cannot and you don't A fortune has been made on all the illness they made And then we've got to pay for the drugs to take it away And then you're going to find there's nothing in your mind That you don't already know, that you ain't already seen Do you live in a dream? Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble but I wanna know if you feel above him All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble and Play your cards, throw your dice You get a piece of land and a piece of advice No time to be wasting there's no time to be wasted No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted No time to be wasting always time to get wasted No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste) There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste) There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste) There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste) There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste) There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste) They've got me wasting time (No time to waste) Got me wasting time (No time to waste) They got me wasting time (No time to waste) Got me wasting time (No time to waste) |
