The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Waiting for the van to arrive,
The prisoners were lined
up outside.
Jumped a wall, hitcheda ride, and
now I'm here
to say;
Love you, baby, anyway, oh, yeah.
The sky is burnin' I believe my soul is on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Ran across the country fields,
In all terrain, they had guns and dogs and everything.
Swam a river try'n to lose my trail,
But they caught me, under the bridge. Oh yeah!

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I'm learning, the key to my desire.

Oh, yeah.

The sky is burnin' I believe my soul's on fire,
You are, I am learning, the key to my desire.

The judge said, 'this man's a danger to humanity,
We're gonna lock him up and throw away the key'
Now, baby, your love has sent me to jail
But I'd rather die than see you with another man

It's burnin' baby, mm, mm; I believe my souls on fire

I believe my souls on fire,
Working on the railroad, every day
But they can't keep me here
And I'm not gonna stay
I got to get outta this place
I'll see you, baby.

It's burnin', yeah, it's burnin'.
I believe my souls on fire,
Keep on burnin',
Ah, yeah, yeah, ah, oh, oho. Keep on burnin'

The morning sun comes through my window
All night long I have been waiting
We who are constantly moving
Leaving part of us behind

She moves across the room with easy grace
Mona lisa smiles up on her face
I who am completely mesmerized
By the sunlight in her eyes

Morning sun comes through my windows
All night long I have been waiting
We who are constantly moving
Leaving part of us behind

Moves across the room with easy grace
Mona Lisa smiles up on her face
I who am completely mesmerized
By the sunlight in her eyes

And the morning sun comes through my window
All night long I have been waiting
We who are constantly moving
Leaving part of us behind

My life is like water and I'm floating in the sea
But I have a root in the water
And it's reaching stretching endlessly
My love flying in the sky
And far away from the water she lies
Sometimes big wave coming when I'm down
But soon I stand on up again

My life is like water and I'm floating in the sea
My soul is a stream on the water
I was born reaching endlessly

My life is like water and I'm floating in the sea
My soul is a stream on the water
I was born reaching endlessly

I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering

I met a little cutie back in sixty six
She used to tie you up and beat you with a walking stick
I said mama call a doctor you must be sick
She told me that's the only way I get my kicks

I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering

Been around the world about a time and again
Met a little chick in a opium den
She put a spell on me that'd freeze a man
I said help me save me but she did it again

I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering

I met a little lady just yesterday
Lord she loves me in a special way
She put coffee in my tea and she love to say
I wanna hold and keep you now don't be afraid

I don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering
Don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering

I met a little cuttie back in sixty six
She used to tie you up and beat you with a walking stick
I said mama call a doctor you must be sick
She told me that's the only way I get my kicks

I Don't wanna lose myself in love again
But my heart beat keeps on hammering

Well listen everybody out there in the world today,

That just won't wait...

People going nowhere
Cause there eyes are closed
They don't know what they are lookin' for...
Cause nobody knows

People lookin' for something
That they're never gonna find,
Going round in circles, ya...
Cause it's the blind...

Leadin' the blind!

Oh, yeah, yeah-ah...ya-ya...yah-yah



People they're chasin' rainbows
Got their heads in the sky,
Never findin' true reality
Cause, they're flyin' too high

People live in shadows
Never see the sun
Spendin' they're time
Drinkin' they're lonely
Lonely,
Lonely wine

Drownin' they're tears
Countin' they're years...
Ya...

Snd I know they're lookin' for...
Peace of mind!

Yes, I know that everybody's lookin' for
Peace of mind!

Lookin' for peace
And the peace of mind

Don't quote me in saying everybody has a chance to dance
Has a chance to romance a chance to dance
And has a chance to do anything they want to do
There ain't there ain't no god that says you can't enjoy your life
There ain't no master of ceremony that can fill your life
With worry and strife
Choose your own direction
