Virtual Insanity

Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see
I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse
See, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these -

[Chorus]
Futures made of virtual insanity
now Always seem to, be
govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new
technology Oh, now there is no
sound - for we all live underground
And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother, can choose the colour
Of her child
That's not natures way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Waoh - it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Future's that we have to be told

[Chorus]
Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad,
I know yeah

(Instrumental break)

Of this virtual insanity, we're livin' in,
Has got to change, yeah
Things, will never be the same,
And I can't go on
While we're livin' in oh,
oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world, has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep
going on, it was virtual,
Virtual insanity that we're livin' in,
that we're livin' in
That virtual insanity is what it is

[Chorus]

Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity

Virtual insanity is what we're living in

Cosmic Girl

I must have died and gone to heaven
'cos it was a quarter past eleven on a saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
on the dance floor she was landing
it was clear that she was from another town
like some baby Barbarella with the stars as her umbrella
she asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekking
'cos it's you I should be checking
so she lazer beamed me with her cosmic eyes

She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world putting me in ecstasy
transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic

I'm scanning all my radars
well she said she's from a quasar fourty thousand milion light years away
It's a distant solar system
tried to phone but they don't list 'em
so I asked her for a number all the same
She said 'step in my transorter
so I can teleport ya all around my heavenly body'
This could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyper space
when I see her pretty face.

She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world putting me in ecstasy
transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face [x8]

She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world putting me in ecstasy
transmitting on my frequency
yeah cosmic, oh can't you be my cosmic woman?
I need you I want you to be my cosmic girl
for the rest of time (Fade)

Use the Force

I must believe
I can do anything
I can heal anyone
I must believe

I am the wind (yeah)
I am the sea
I am the wind
I am the sea
I am the sun
I can be anyone

Oh this world is mine
(this world is mine)
For all of time (for all of time)
I can turn any stone
Call any place my home
I can do anything

I know I'm gonna get
myself together (yeah)
Use the force
I know I'm gonna work it out
Use the force
I know I'm gonna get
myself ahead (yeah)
Use the force
Use the force

Everyday

Yes I do
Baby, maybe, we can
spend a little time
Together now that we're alone
So long I have been waiting
Now can't you let me
take you home

All these things we do
Will make our dreams come true
You want me, and
I surely want you
Tell me where to go
Tell me what I need to know
To take you on a little ride

Hold me, control me
Let me circumnavigate
your body mind & soul
Like a, seed from a flower
I can grow and you must know
Sadness, don't mean a thing
Cos, you and me girl,
you know we're in the swing
All the things that I want to get with
You on a midsummer night
In the evening light
(The) sweet evening light

All these things we do
Will make our dreams come true
I want you-you want me
I surely need you baby
And so far what we've done
Has made our lives become
Something more than
Evening light to make it right

All, all I want from you baby,
is sweet loving now,
No, I know, yes, I know
I know what I want from you girl,
we can make it right
We can hold onto each other tight,
Lose our inhibitions
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh

Every little thing we do is good
Every little thing you see is sweet
Every little part of you I'd like to meet
I want you girl, you know I want you
I want you in the evening light

---

Alright

I need your love,
I need your love,
you give me light so tonight take me there
I feel your sun start to glow
and I know it let me show
that I need your love
I want your touch for the rest of our time together baby
Baby come fly with me eternally
you and me we were meant to be

Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever
Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever

I see your eyes hold the key
to my paradise summer in your smile
well it makes me feel so real
you tell me things and my heart
sings to the world from islands in the sky
take my hand as one we will stand
you know it's never never to say hello to forever

Yeah hey alright (right now)
we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever [x4]

I need your touch
I want your love so much
I need your touch
and I want your love, so much
Oh, now tonight, we'll spend the night together
wake up and live forever

High Times

You don't need your
name in bright lights
You're a rock star
And some tin foil
with a glass pipe
Is your guitar-now yes it is
Little Angela
Suffers delusions
From these high times
She's been cleaning up,
since she was fourteen
On the main line
And her hunky funky junky,
of a boyfriend
Got her on late nights,
with her skirt tight
Woah, shes a wild thing
Letting it all swing
God bless our high times

CHORUS:
Don't you know that last night
Turned to daylight
And a minute, became a day
Last night (last night)
All my troubles
Well they seemed so, so far away
Searching my reflection
For a glimpse of, another me
I've got to get away from
all these high high times
'Cause these high times
are killing me

Now high times go on
and on and on
High times rock your mind yeah

This twisted crystal Kingdom
Where you live your nine lives
And your head spins
With purple cyclones
Made of dexadrine
And when the phone rings
You think bad things
Well these are high high
high high times yeah
In any back street
When you take a hot seat
Make sure check your flight times
Oh now mama

{CHORUS}

Now drop it this time

Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia will destroy ya
Paranoia
Paranoia

{CHORUS}

La la la la la
High times (oh yeah)
We're living in high
high times yeah

Last night (last night)
Turned to daylight
And a moment
Half a world away
Time can be so precious
When you throw
your life away
I can't help living this way
Knowing my life has gone

Kids wanna give it up
Kids wanna give it up
Time to let your mind be free
Searching for eternity (x3)

Kids wanna live it up
Kids wanna give it up, yeah,
alright

Drifting Along

Nowhere to go
But I'll still be cruising
I live this life long
Long long time

You know I'm drifting along
(drifting along)
Can't see where I am going
I will get to my destination

I'm feeling the pressure
(pressure)
All around me crumble (man now)
But I won't be put
down this time

I'm shifting along
Though I sing a sweet song
(sweet song)
We'll murder in the
streets where I be livin'

I'm closing my eyes
(closing my eyes)
Don't want to see killin'
Gentle giants will roam forever

I'm cruising the street
Wondering who I will meet
Oh love has got to
reign in our world

La la la la
La la la la la la
I don't know where
I am going to
(I don't know where I am going to)

La la la la
La la la la la la
I don't know where
I am going to
Drifting along

Drifting along
Closing up my ears
to the sound
I don't want to hear,
crying

You Are My Love

Oh, let me tell you a little
story about a heartbreaker,
Honey, I don't know why
you treat me so bad,
Well I tried so hard to make
you see it my way,
Just think of all the
good times we had,
But still you only ever
want to fight with me.

We got to split apart
before we kill
And start to put our
minds together
We got to change this
hell for leather world
And I will find myself
another girl,
We got to put our
weapons down,
And spread a little
love around.

You know
You are my love
You are my love
Oh, yes you are
You are my love
You are my love

Ain't you the girl who did me
wrong behind my back
And tried to keep me
double booked
We never seem to cross the tracks
And there's so much that
you over-looked about me girl,
Remember, sat down
pretty on the windowsill,
And made me swallow
on your bitter pill,
You thought the grass was
greener over there,
While serpents snaked
around your hair,
So pour a vitriolic coffee cup
And use your blackened
heart to fill it up,
Well, now honey we get to
put our weapons down
And spread a little love around.

You know
You are my love
You are my love
Oh, yes you are
You are my love
Yes you are
You are my love
You are my love
I want you girl
I need you so
Now we know that
It's no secret
You are my love
You are my world
Light my shadows
Fill the heavens with stars

You are my love
You are my love
You are my lover
I need you
I want you
Don't let me go
I need you so
Don't let me go
I need you so
Don't let me go (Fade)
I need you so

Spend A Lifetime

Touch me in the night time
All I want from you is love
And I know you can give
such sweet moments
To last me so long
Cos,, you make me feel so strong

All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
Make it happen
All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
Oh girl
All I want to do is spend a
liftetime with you, baby

Cos you make me that good
And nothing else matters
Until you're in my arms, girl
And all those broken promises
we made to each other
We have so much more to give
I know that we can do this
That's how I want to live
Eternally, together

All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby
All I want to do is spend a
lifetime with you, baby

Will you make it happen
for us now
Please this time
You know I need your
touch honey
I want your touch honey
Like the morning sun
has just begun
Girl, like the rain on
my window pane
Girl, if I could make you stay
More than one day
Eternally together
Oh girl I need your touch
Oh, girl I want your loving
Sweet, you know that
we can make it happen
For you and for me to be
And eternally together
we will be

Do U Know Where You're Coming From

(mixed by M-Beat)
(this song is featured as a bonus track on the US release of "Travelling
Without Moving")

Oh, do you know where you're coming from?
Hey, nothing is as clear

Imagine in your mind, oasis
Far awide beyond our living
Sure enough I'm tired of trying to
Hang on when this world is spinning

I was left out
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
Fishin' around for meaning
But, I had to ask
Someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was

She said
Hey, do you know (mmm)
Where you're comin' from?
Hey, do you know
Now, where you're going to?
She said
Hey, have you been
somewhere you've never ever been before?
I said, well
Nothing is as clear

Nothing is as clear without a
Holding hand to gently guide you
Once that disappared
But it's so close now that I'm here beside you

I was left down
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
fishing around for meaning
I had to ask someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was

She said
Hey, do you know
Where you're comin' from?
Hey, do you know
Now, where you're going to?
She said
Hey, have you been
somewhere you've never ever been before?
Now nothing is as clear

Oh do you know
Now where you're going to?
She said, hey, do you know now where you're coming from?
Hey, have you been somewhere you've never ever been before?
Nothing is as clear

I was left down x20

Imagine in your mind, oasis
Far awide beyond our living
Sure enough I'm tired of trying to
Hang on when this world is spinning

I was left out
There was no light
There was no sound
Here in the dark
Fishin' around for meaning
But, I had to ask
Someone I knew
Not so far away from where I was

She said...
Oh, do you know where you're coming from?
Hey, do you know where you're going to?
Hey, have you been somewhere you've never been before?

Oh, now nothing can ever be so clear
