Movin' on Up

I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me

[Chorus]
I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I've got no bounds
I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I got no bounds

I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

Repeat Chorus

I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on
I'm getting outta darkness
My light shines on


Slip inside this House

Finer worlds that you uncover
Plant the path you want to roam
Live where you're heart can be given
And your life starts to unfold

You think you can't you wish you could
I know you can, I wish you would
Trip inside this house as you pass by
Trip inside this house as you pass by

If your limbs begin dissolving
In the water that you tread
All surroundings are evolving
In the stream that clears your head

Come disciples to thee unending
Subtleties of rhythm power
Trip inside this house as you pass by

Sweep the shadows from your eyes
Sweep the realm of dark aside

Trip inside this house as you pass by
Trip inside this house as you pass by


Don't fight, Feel it

Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' high, gettin' happy gettin' gone
Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' up , gettin' down, gonna get it on
Gonna live the life I love
I'm gonna love the life I live
Gonna get high

Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' high, gettin' happy gettin' gone
Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' up , gettin' down, gonna get it on
Gonna live the life I love
I'm gonna love the life I live
Gonna get high

Gonna get high 'til the day I die
Rama lama lama fa fa fa
Gonna get high 'til the day I die
Rama lama lama fa fa fa
Gonna get high 'til the day I die
Rama lama lama fa fa fa
Gonna get high 'til the day I die


Higher than the Sun

My brightest star's My inner light, let it guide me
Experience and innocence, bleed inside me
Hallucinogens can open me, or untie me
I drift in inner space, free of time
I find a higher state of grace, in my mind

I'm beautiful, I wasn't born to follow
I live just for today, don't care about tomorrow
What i've got in my head, you can't buy, steal or borrow
I believe in live and let live
I believe you get what you give

I've glimpsed, I have tasted, fantastical places
My soul's an oasis, higher than the sun

I'm higher than the sun

And all for the cause
Because together we got power
Apart we got power

And rhythm and blues, and jazz

Loaded

Instrumental

[Dialogue: The Wild Angels, Peter Fonda's Character]
Just what is it that you want to do?
We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time
That's what we're gonna do
No way baby lets go
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a party

I don't wanna lose your love (4x)

Just what is it you wanna do?
I'm gonna get deep down, deep down

Let's go!

Damaged

Sweet summer days
When I was feeling so fine
Just you and me girl
Was a beautiful time
Oh yeah
Said i felt so happy
My my my

I was through with doubt and pain
All the love I felt hadn't been in vain
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you
I'd wake up beside you
You'd hold me in your arms
Nothing and nobody's gonna do me
Any harm oh yeah
Said I felt so happy
My my my

And the way I felt inside
Made me feel so glad to be alive
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you

Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
I'll never feel that way again
No, no, no, no, no, no

My my my
People can be precious
But they ain't for keeping
I got too possessive
But souls ain't for stealing
You were my addiction
I got strung out and crazy
Hit me like a fever
When you left me baby<

Stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you

(Repeat to end)


I'm Coming Down

Driftin', driftin'
Driftin', driftin'

I've been so high, I never wanted to come down
I've been so lost, I never wanted to be found
I'm all hung over with bad dreams
I stumble in to messy scenes

[Chorus]
I'm coming down
I can't face the dawn
I'm coming down
I feel too far gone

I've been driftin'
I've been strung-out, I've been burned
I've been lonely, to the point of no return
I drank myself to sleep last night
I see the the world through bloodshot eyes

Repeat Chorus
Highs(?) and pills won't heal my ills
But they make me feel better for a little while

Repeat Chorus

I'm coming down
I'm coming down
I'm coming down


Higher than the Sun
(A dub symphony in 2 parts)


Ah
Higher than the sun


Shine Like Stars

I watch you sleep
You look so peaceful
You look so vulnerable
I feel scared for you

To me you're precious
May you always
Shine like stars
Shine like stars
Shine like stars

I watch you dance
You look so happy
Lost in the moment of abandon
You're set free

To me you're precious
May you always
Shine like stars
Shine like stars
Shine like stars
