(What a great time to be human) There once was a boy who lost his own mother Loved him to death and smothered his brother The kids in the street all shouted with joy New shoes on their feet, they danced to destroy The boy became man, then ran to his lover She cast a spell to bring back his mother They went to the preacher and he banged a gong The crooks and believers all sing the same song Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) There once was a girl who drank from the fountain She left her youth halfway up the mountain She went back to get it, but someone was there They had her committed and shaved off her hair They threw her a party with diamonds and spoons But they were bloodsuckers with crocodile shoes She went to the chemist to make her a dog But he was dyslexic, so he made a God (God, God, God) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human (What a great time to be human) (Shanghai, summertime, goodbye) (What a great time to be human) Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human, to be human, to be human What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human Rainbows, butterflies, what is all this? Shanghai, summertime, follow your bliss (ooh-ooh) Everything on the Earth keeps blooming What a great time to be human What a great time to be human

She is my rock and my rolling thunder I've been the spell she was under I, I love that girl She is my cigarettes and champagne She's got me strung but I'm not running I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait She is the flame and the fire she's raging I've been the spark and the war she's waging I, I love that girl She came along and she spoke so sweetly Changed everything, took my heart completely I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait And the city buzz and empty cars It's 3 a.m. I wonder where you are And the crooked smiles and worn out miles between us Now I wonder where you are She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait

Well, I remember standing on the corner at midnight Trying to get my courage up There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown I loved to watch her do her stuff Through the long lonely nights, she filled my sleep Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers I used to watch 'em through the glass Well, I'd stand outside at closing time Just to watch her walk on past Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet As she made her way alone down that empty street Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet, ooh And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat I drift back in time and I find my feet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet

Dear mom and dad, I don't know where to start I hate to break the news, but I got a broken heart That sweet southern belle that I met in Tennessee Got a hickey on her neck, and it ain't from me Seems there's someone special she's been meeting at the gym But the crazy thing about it is that someone's not a him My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now It was cool for a minute, now it's bringing me down People talking about it all over this town My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now All my friends say she's just going through a phase I believed her when she said she just needs a little space But then I found pictures on her cellular phone Of them doing things when I wasn't home It hit me like a brick, I guess I should have seen the sign This was more than just a friend and a bottle of wine My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now It was cool for a minute, now it's bringing me down People talking about it all over this town My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now Yeah, mom and dad, really nothing left to say I'll be sure to keep you posted if she swings it back this way I guess I'm not as sad as you think I might be The part that makes me mad is that they didn't invite me My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now It was cool for a minute, now it's bringing me down People talking about it all over this town My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now
