A Beautiful Mine (From" Retrospective: The Music Of Mad Men" Soundtrack) - RJD2

A Beautiful mind, turned water into wine But that's not all Broke the water, shined through Shaped the earth, created the colder life Radiated with energy, the great boat of life The spark Sparkling through the dark night Then walked And took forever without a thing in sight Didn't hear a sound to the first "Treat "Deaf to the ocean swelled " Washed up a miracle A Beautiful yours, a beautiful mine By the grace of fire, out sprouts the land And did desire, footprints in the sand On top of the mountain peak where the man speaks to himself Cursing to them with a start What he felt can't be described It's alive Rise with the tide Communicate with all sides, nothing wants to die Buildin' this, build a bridge Build a tower Construct a dam, nigga, ho Build a flower Ultraviolet rays magnified the essence All praise to the presence, one pure thought Taught him the lessons This spread with the first migration of the heads The first wants to flock A beautiful yours, a beautiful mine One's so enlightened; one's so divine The planet's hour line, all devoid of time A beautiful mind They opened up the brain and opened up the heart What is man made of Love from the dark The will to invent the will Work the field, the shield, the intent to kill, the uphill Matter of existence, matter of persistence, Matter of distance to search for the mystics Finder of lost souls, teacher of apostles, the mind's so colossal A beautiful mind A beautiful mind, a beautiful idea One that was right here, blind to the naked eye, tied to a fear Once it was nothing and now it is here A beautiful mind Not accidental, coincidental, experimental A beautiful man, though a touch so gentle A life so simple to spin on the axis to access the temple A beautiful mind A beautiful mind, put fruit on the vine At the same time he made love a crime Mellowed out the strings of all mankind Walked along side you when you was left behind Purified the waters, carved the canyons Fed the families when it was starved and famine Drew the blueprints so everyone had a chance Organized the people and made man advance A beautiful yours, a beautiful mine Something outa nothing Oh, what a far cry More than a hard tribe Pointed out the start guide Made love, made hate Saved sake Nothing left the crate but fate Constructed structures,? a labyrinth Detailed a portrait Healed nations Took blame when no one else was happening Evolved the species, and had patience Wrote the scroll in thousands of languages Came with us to fight against a giant? Created chaos, pervaded destruction Made law and order and then corruption Laid the foundation for all things to stand on Then cleared the ground for the mother ship to land on Sailed across the seas, followed the breeze Cured disease Made poison Settled the fear, took them on the righteous path, Gave them the math, and still had the time to laugh What a beautiful mind to have

Follow me home If you dare to I wouldn't know Where to lead you Should I take chances When no one took chances on me? So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start With no beauty in my memory All that I wanted Was to be wanted Too young to wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing At least you have something Something to cling to Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into And the memories were lost long ago But at least you have beautiful ghosts Perilous night Their voices calling A flicker of light Before the dawning Out here, the wild ones Are taming the fear within me Scared to call them my friends and be broken again Is this hope just a mystical dream? All that I wanted Was to be wanted Too young to wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing At least you have something Something to cling to Visions of dazzling rooms, I'll never get let into And the memories were lost long ago But at least you have beautiful ghosts And so maybe my home isn't what I had known What I thought it would be But I feel so alive with these phantoms of night And I know that this life isn't safe But it's wild and it's free All that I wanted Was to be wanted I'll never wander London streets Alone and haunted Born into nothing With them, I have something Something to cling to I never knew I'd love this world they've let me into And the memories were lost long ago So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts And the memories were lost long ago So I'll dance with these beautiful ghosts
