Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't stop, addicted to the shindig
Chop Top, he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
Defunct, the pistol that you pay for
This punk, the feeling that you stay for
In time, I want to be your best friend
East side love is living on the west end
[Verse 2]
Knocked out, but, boy, you better come to
Don't die, you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright, I wonder what the wave meant
White heat is screaming in the jungle
Complete the motion if you stumble
Go ask the dust for any answers
Come back strong with fifty belly dancers
[Chorus]
The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave, can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you?
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave, can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to
[Verse 3]
Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone
So smart, she's leading me to ozone
Music, the great communicator
Use two sticks to make it in the nature
I'll get you into penetration
The gender of a generation
The birth of every other nation
Worth your weight, the gold of meditation
[Verse 4]
This chapter's gonna be a close one
Smoke rings, I know you're gonna to blow one
All on a spaceship persevering
Use my hands for everything but steering
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
Mop tops are happy when they feed you
J. Butterfly is in the treetop
Birds that blow the meaning into bebop
[Chorus]
The world I love
The tears I drop
To be part of
The wave, can't stop
Ever wonder if it's all for you?
The world I love
The trains I hop
To be part of
The wave, can't stop
Come and tell me when it's time to
[Bridge]
Wait a minute, I'm passing out
Win or lose, just like you
Far more shocking
Than anything I ever knew
How 'bout you?
Ten more reasons
Why I need somebody new, just like you
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew
Right on cue
[Verse 5]
Can't stop, addicted to the shindig
Chop Top, he says I'm gonna win big
Choose not a life of imitation
Distant cousin to the reservation
[Verse 6]
Defunct, the pistol that you pay for
This punk, the feeling that you stay for
In time, I want to be your best friend
East side love is living on the west end
Knocked out, but, boy, you better come to
Don't die, you know the truth as some do
Go write your message on the pavement
Burn so bright, I wonder what the wave meant
[Verse 7]
Kick start the golden generator
Sweet talk, but don't intimidate her
Can't stop the gods from engineering
Feel no need for any interfering
Your image in the dictionary
This life is more than ordinary
Can I get two, maybe even three of these?
Coming from the space to teach you of the Pleiades
[Outro]
Can't stop the spirits when they need you
This life is more than just a read-through
