And if you listen now
You might hear
A new sound coming in
As an old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand
You better take a closer look
Don't let it slip right through your hand
Won't you please hear the call
The World says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

Now is the moment
Please understand
The road is wide open
To the heart of every man
A few simple words
So a mule could understand
He don't want tomorrow
If it's just crumbling into sand
Won't you please hear the call
She says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

The World says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
'Cause I'm waiting right here with my open arms
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your soul to me
'Cause I'm waiting to behold your many charms
Is that love in the air?
She says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumour from ground control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the action man:
"I'm happy, hope you're happy, too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but this planet is glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing, glowing...

Ashes to ash and funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again, I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope you're happy, too
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said, "To get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom"
My mother said...

Thunder rumbles in the distance, a quiet intensity
I am willful, your insistence is tugging at the best of me
You're the moon, I'm the water
You're Mars, calling up Neptune's daughter

Sometimes rain that's needed falls
We float like two lovers in a painting by Chagall
All around is sky and blue town
Holding these flowers for a wedding gown
We live so high above the ground, satellites surround us.

I am humbled in this city
There seems to be an endless sea of people like us
Wakeful dreamers, I pass them on the sunlit streets
In our rooms filled with laughter
We make hope from every small disaster

Everybody says "you can't, you can't, you can't, don't try."
Still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd fly like we do.

From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
That hypnotized me with love

She was a gypsy woman,
She was a gypsy woman

She danced around and round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh, how I'd love to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear

I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman

All through the caravan
She was dancing with all the men
Waiting for the rising sun
Everyone was having fun
I hate to see the lady go
Knowing she'll never know
That I love her, I love her

She was a gypsy woman
a gypsy woman, a gypsy woman, a gypsy woman

Tu me decias que
Nada te haria cambiar y yo
Te decia que cambiaste todo para mi
Tu me decias que estabas triste con la vida
Pero yo nunca te crei

Estoy tan cansada
De las canciones de amor
Siempre hablan de un final feliz
Bien sabemos que la vida
Nunca funciona asi

Yo te mandaba las senales que
Se me ocurrian
Tu nunca las entendias no
Escuchabas bien
Un dia me canse
Y claro esta que te deje
No me hacias caso, entonces
¿Para que?

Estoy tan cansada
De las canciones de amor
Siempre hablan de un final feliz
Bien sabemos que la vida
Nunca funciona asi

Habria hecho todo pero tu
Nunca entendiste nada
Nada de nada
La vida siempre tiene que seguir
Aunque mi corazon se parta
Y no quede nada... Por eso
Estoy tan cansada de las canciones de amor
Siempre hablan de un final feliz
Bien sabemos que la vida
Nunca funciona asi

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Whoa

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Whoa

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

(Instrumental)

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Whoa

Dee dee
Du du du dee
Dee du dee

Whoa

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

Maybe I'm not the one
Maybe I'm not the one

I wonder if we'll ever find a party that lasts all night.
There's a vibe in the city I've never felt before in my life.
Let's all rush and flow, make a big time aftershow party.
If we're gonna get it right got to hold each other tight tonite

CHORUS:
And the people of the world say...
Oye Baby
Oye Mami
Donde Esta La Afterparty

You offered a ride, a pleasant surprise
Your whip was on point but it could'nt outshine your eyes
Now I really know why we had to rush the flow darling
No we gotta get it right got to hold each other tight tonite

CHORUS:
And the people of the world say...
Oye Baby
Oye Mami
Donde Esta La Afterparty

I only want to hold your hand like darkness in the moon light
And when you wrap your arms around me
I know this is where we should be tonite

Jabu:

To feel this gotta use your soul
And it just aint a party with no O-z-o's
Jump back make you sweat your clothes
And I bet you didn't know/ the whole band got flows
Little lady go on and do your dance
homeboys stand up and shout
That's what I'm talkin' bout
Everybody go on and tell a friend
That band went and did it again

CHORUS:
And the people of the world say...
Oye Baby
Oye Mami
Donde Esta La Afterparty

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place
Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, my work's down the drain
Hey man, well she's a total blam-blam
She said she had to squeeze it but she... then she...
(CHORUS)Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Suffragette City
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Suffragette City
Is outta sight...she's all right
Hey man, Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take you this time, no way
Hey man, droogie don't crash here
There's only room for one and here she comes, here she comes
CHORUS
Oh hit me!
CHORUS
A Suffragette City, a Suffragette City
I'm back on Suffragette City, I'm back on Suffragette City
Ooo, Sufraggete city, ooo, Suffragette City
Oooh-how, Sufragette City, oooh-how, Sufragette City, oooh-how
Sufragette
Ohhh, Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!
A Suffragette City, a Suffragette City
Quite all right
A Suffragette City
Too fine
A Suffragette City, ooh, a Sufragette City
Oh, my Sufragette City, oh my Suffragette City
Oh, Suffragette
Suffragette!
