You're in LA And I'm in hell Cause everywhere is hell when you're not there Prepaid calling cards Ain't got no time The love got plenty reason but no rhyme You can't tell me that it don't mean a thing When I look into your eyes anything Can't you see the common ground? You know how I long to be down It's not a phase that I'm going through I'm living to see your smile Loving you from over 3000 miles away And if you were on Saturn I'd try to take a rocketship just to see you baby you're the bomb Take a rocketship just to see you babe cause you're the one It seems as if You're galaxies away But I'll take a trip to where you stay And love will be the vessel that I need No more that a two seated ride Baby wont you please come occupy my life I waited all my life For someone like you to come my way All I can say is I'm living to see your smile Loving you from over 3000 miles away And if you were on Saturn I'd try to take a rocketship just to see you baby you're the bomb Take a rocketship just to see you babe cause you're the one

We live from the head down and not the feet up And I'm adorned with the crown that's making this up And I'm fine under cloud 9 Yes I wear the lamb's wool the feet of burned brass And the wool defies gravity like the nature of a gas And I'm fine under cloud 9 Twist my cloud and it rain And when it rains it pours And the energy will absorb Power for the metaphysical one Happy to be nappy I'm black and I'm proud That I have been chosen to wear the conscious cloud And I'm fine under cloud 9 I be a chameleon and wear it bone straight But it's so much stronger when it's in its natural state And I'm fine under cloud 9 Twist my cloud and it rain And when it rains it pours And the energy will absorb Power for the metaphysical one Twist my cloud and it rain And when it rains it pours And the energy will absorb Power for the metaphysical one
