Lenny Kravitz : Circus

Lyrics


1.Rock and Roll is Dead

You think you're on top of the world
But you know it's really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin
Rock and Roll is Dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock and Roll is Dead (x3)
You can't even sing or play an instrument
So you just scream instead
You're living for an image
So you got five hundred women in your bed
Rock and Roll is Dead
But it's real hard to be yourself
When you're living with those demons
In your head
Rock and Roll is Dead (x3)

2. Circus

One day while I was searchin
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you'd better be strong
What kind of circus is this
What kind of fools are we
when is the final curtain
What can I do to set me free
Welcome to the real world
You better be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
so you'd better be strong
Too many games we have to play
They always change the rules
You and me just try to get along
What can I do
I've got to be strong
She walked into my daydream
She told me how it had to be
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
Welcome to the real world
You got to be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
You got to be strong
You better be strong

3.Beyond the Seventh Sky

Beyond the 7th sky
There's a room where we are with God
Beyond the sun and moon
Where the angels will be our guards
Where the weather doesn't change
Everyday is summer
As the sands are numbered
Instead of cannonball grey
Do you think it's kinda strange
Or can we be lovers
as the spirit covers our electrified rage
Hold me mama
And we'll fly across the sea
Way beyond the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin about you and God and I
Now that the time is near
I'm ready I have no fear
I know you're the one my dear
The stars will come out tonite
In time for our sacred flight
Together we'll be for life
And I will burn in your flame
Kiss me baby
Take my hand and come with me
I'm talkin' about the moon and stars and sky
I'm talkin' about you and God and I
Let's take it to the place where life was formed
And to the place where Jesus Christ was born

4.Tunnel Vision

All I want
Is all you got
Make me happy baby
And I'll make it hot
I don't need no doctor
To tell me what to do
'Cause I know I'm goin'
Straight ahead for you

*chorus*
I've got that tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't help myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed

All that's yours
And all that's mine
We'll put together baby
And we can combine
We don't need no lawyer
Let's not make this long
We just need a love thing
That's beautiful and strong
(chorus x2)
Make it funky now

5. Can't Get You Off My Mind

Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I'll have to be without you

*chorus*
I've got a pocket full of money
And a pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of loving
And I just can't get you off of my mind

Babe can't you see
That this is killing me
I don't want to push you baby
And I don't want you to be told
It's just that I can't breathe without
I feel like I'm gonna lose control
(chorus)
What are the rules and reasons and the dos and don'ts
Tell me baby tell me baby
What do you feel inside
(chorus)

6.Magdalene

She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent all of her dough on the movie show

*chorus*
She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines

She was only seventeen
She packed her bags and went to the scene
She said I'm gonna take on this town and I'm gonna be
the queen
She mingled like she'd been there before
She worked it till they hollered for more
Now everybody knows

7.God Is Love

God is love
Through all your trials and tribulations
God is love
He'll get you through all situations
God is love
And if you are ready he always is
ready for you

*chorus*
God loves everyone
That's why he gave his son, oh yeah
And you should feel his pain
Yet he gave us everything

God is love
He'll get you through your pain and sorrow
God is love
He's coming back maybe tomorrow
God is love
And if you are ready he's gonna be
ready for you
(chorus)
And though much time has passed
His words and promises always last
And I am here to say
That he loves each one of us in every way
God is love
He makes the rain that makes the flowers
God is love
And so amazing are his powers
God is love
And if you are ready he always is
ready for you
(chorus)

8.Thin Ice

You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every way
When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you'd though you lost
But you paid a cost
Hey...

*chorus*
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall

You're always running with every game
First you're pushing coke and then you're hoing dames
You say you acn't give nothing better back
Than you got back at home
Well I tell you that's bullshit brother
And that's a heavy load
It's an illusion when you think you're the boss
Oh no no no
Cause you really ain't got a thing
But the crumbs you're tossed
But don't you feel the frost
Hey...
(chorus)

9. Don't Go and Put a Bullet in Your Head

Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
I'm gonna get it
But workin' nine to five just doesn't let it
I feel I'm wastin' time and I regret it
Can't even feed my wife and my kids
Oh I'm longing to find it
A taste of the sweeter life oh my
Only it takes a little time
No don't do it
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Ain't got no credit
Can't even pay my rent
Where will I get it
There's a liquor store right down the
block I'll get it
Can't even feed the pain in my heart
Oh I'm longing to find
A piece of the bigger pie oh my
Only it takes alittle tme
No don't do it
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Oh my oh my
Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head

10.In My Life Today

When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole worlds gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder
I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and I was born
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery you're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger
I think about the way that you make it right
So full of love and sacrifice
I say yeah yeah yeah...
BUt you were right and I was wrong
Cause I was weak and you were strong
You are the force and strength
In my life today
And now that the darkness has faded
I'm no longer blinded I can see
And I don't have to wait no longer
Cause it's all about being free
Every day every way
I'm gonna get myself together
Every day any way

11.The Resurrection

If you could feel what I could feel
Well then you'd know his love is real
If you could hear what I could hear
Well then you'd kbnow the king is near
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
Look what he's done to me
Now I am living in another space and time
He walked on the righteous path
To keep us from Satan's wrath
We are not alone
And we're going home
The resurrection is here to stay
And he's coming back again
The resurrection is here to say
That he's coming back again
To reclaim all his souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to say
That he is coming back again
To reclaim all his souls
