People tell me I'm no good Cos I'm expressin' all my sentiments Now I got to channel all my vehemence For the benefit of my self defence And you can be a do gooder But true sincerity ain't charity It can take a life time to be How you wanna be. You can be light years Away from serious intention And I thought I knew it all Someday I'd get to turn mankind This way If you don't know you can be light years Away from your true destination. No conscious escalation Until I get with good vibration I'm never gonna get to use that use that earthly power Substitutes Can never take the place of peace of mind Losing all sense of direction. When you're light years. Too far away to turn you back on substitution There is no u-turn on a one way route Goin' up when I learn to love the life I can bite the fruit Now I got sunshine in my life. Light years Never to return to Babylon See money don't make a man But if you really want you get there anyway you can.

I never had a dream that I could follow throughOnly tears left to stain, dry my eyes once againI don't know who I am, or what I'm gonna doBeen so long I've been hopelessly confusedThis can never really end, its infinitely sadCan someone tell me whenSomething good became so badSo if you have a cureTo me would you please sendA picture of my lifeWith a letter telling howit should really be instead The precipice is thereBut will I ever dareThrow myself in the sky, so at last I can dieSee I've become a manWho holds nothing too dearWho will mind if I just disappearThis can never really end, it's infinitely sadCan someone tell me whenSomething good became so badSo if you have a cureTo me would you please sendA picture of my lifeWith a letter telling howit should really be instead

How many timesCan a man watch the sun riseOver his headWithout feeling free? How many wordsWill fail me in my negligenceTo arrest, oh yesThis crazy part of me? How many foolsWill I let unlock the door to my heart?When I know that, I know thatThey shouldn't have had the key It's been so longAnd the groove in my heart is nearly goneOh, my head's in the cloudsBut I'm landing on my feet [Chorus:]Don't shoot me downSun shine, shine downI'm hot tequila brownDon't shoot me downI'm stone cold but I'm lying hereSun shine, shine down How many livesWill I lose on the battle linesInside of my mind?I think I've had enough Don't shoot me downAll I want to see is my black eyes turn back to brownCross that RubiconI think I really must [Chorus x4] Sun shine, shine downSun shine, shine down [Repeat to fade]
