Look over yonder, here come the blues
Pretending they're good guys powered by fools
I can see 'em comin'
Wearing a blue armored coat
You're sittin' there with your violence
Hittin' wrong notes
Look over yonder, he's comin' my way
When he's around,
I never have a happy day
(You even bust my guitar strings)
Look over yonder...
Look over yonder
Well, he's talkin' to my babe
They found my peace pipe on her
Now they're draggin' her away
Lord knows we don't need a devil like him beatin' us around
Well, he's knockin' on my door
Now my house is tumbling down
Don't you come no closer
The path is getting colder
Get away from my door, babe
Unless you wanna start another war
Look over yonder...

I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
And may be you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
Those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune.

I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues
I'm so tired of moaning, trying to groan away my blues
I keep weeping and crying every time I think of you
I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun
I would rather die of starvation, perish out in the desert sun
Than to think of some other man holding you in his arms
My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones
My heart gets so heavy, Lord I shakes down in my bones
I can't hurt a murderer, oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
It's all wrong, but it's all right
The way that you treat me baby
Once I was strong but I lost the fight
You won't find a better loser
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye
I'm sure we're gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover
Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I long to stay

Oh, you know you make me sit in a dark room
With the tears rollin' down from my eyes
You know I can hear my little girl say
Oh, my father is a hurt child
Oh, when I leave I'm goin' back south
People, where the weather you know they suit my clothes, wow
You know I think I move back south
You know where the weather, you know that good weather sure suits my clothes
You know I've been here in Chicago so long
But in last two winters man you know I've almost froze
You know it snowed in Chicago
'Till I could hardly see myself, he he
Oh, you know it snowed in Chicago
'Till I can walk down the streets you know and I couldn't see myself
Well you know I was tryin' to find my baby
You know she was right over, right over snowin' with somebody else

"Ya might get hurt if ya do y'oughta
A-keep it hid". Well ah-hah,

If I see her in the dark.

Still barrelhouse
But it's on the riverside, yeah.

I said her front teeth are lined with gold.
She's got a mortgage on my body,
Got a lien on my soul.
She's my brownskin sugar plum.
She makes me...

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
When the shadows fall
I feel the night closin' in
There must be some reason
For this mood I'm gettin' in
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away
Every evening after sundown
As the light begins to fade
I feel so low, but I just don't know
Why these blues won't go away
It's the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
It's a million miles
From the morning light
Can't get no sleep
Don't know what to do
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues
I've got those midnight blues

I've been down hearted baby
Ever since the day we met
I said I've been down hearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues, woman
Baby, how blue can you get?
You're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
I said You're evil when I'm with you, baby
And you're jealous when we're apart
How blue can you get baby
The answer is right here in my heart
I gave you a brand new Ford
But you said: I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
And you said: thanks for the snack
I let you live in my pent house
You said it just a shack
I gave seven children
And now you wanna give them back
I said I've been down hearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?

Fame, makes a man take things over
Fame, lets him loose, hard to swallow
Fame, puts you there where things are hollow
Fame
Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame
That burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
Fame, "Nien! It's mine!" is just his line
To bind your time, it drives you to crime
Fame
Could it be the best, could it be?
Really be, really, babe?
Could it be, my babe, could it, babe?
Really, really?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool?
Fame
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Got to get a rain check on pain
Fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame
What's your name?
Get me some, fame
Now get-ah, fame

Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
E' qui che si incontrano facce strane
Di una bellezza un po' disarmante
Pelle di ebano di un padre indigeno
E occhi smeraldo come il diamante
Facce meticce di razze nuove
Come il millennio che sta iniziando
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
E noi stiamo già ballando
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
Dove non si sa dove si va a finire
E risalendo dentro se stessi
Alla sorgente del respirare
E' qui che si incontrano uomini nudi
Con un bagaglio di fantasia
Questo e' l'ombelico del mondo
Senti che sale questa energia
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
E' qui che c'è il pozzo dell'immaginazione
Dove convergono le esperienze
E si trasformano in espressione
Dove la vita si fa preziosa
E il nostro amore diventa azioni
Dove le regole non esistono
Esistono solo le eccezioni
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
E' qui che nasce l'energia
Centro nevralgico del nuovo mondo
Da qui che parte ogni nuova via
Dalle province del grande impero,
Sento una voce che si sta alzando
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
E noi stiamo già ballando
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
L'ombelico del mondo
Questo è l'ombelico del mondo
(A bailar!)
(Huepa huepa huepa huepa!)
(L'ombelico del mondo)

Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
Perche' son vivo
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
E finche' son vivo
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermarmi dal ragionare
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermare, fermare, fermare
Fermare quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Io penso positivo
Ma non vuol dire che non ci vedo
Io penso positivo...
In quanto credo!
Non credo nelle divise
Ne' tanto meno negli abiti sacri
Che piu' di una volta furono
Pronti a benedire massacri
Non credo ai fraterni abbracci
Che si confondon con le catene
Io credo soltanto che
Tra il bene e il male
E' piu' forte il bene
... bene, bene, bene, bene...
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
Perche' son vivo
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
E finche' son vivo
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermarmi dal ragionare
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermare, fermare, fermare
Fermare quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va...
Positivo
Uscire dal metro quadro
Dove ogni cosa sembra dovuta
Guardare dentro alle cose
C'e' una realta' sconosciuta
Che chiede soltanto un modo
Per venir fuori a vedere le stelle
E vivere l'esperienze
Sulla mia pelle, sulla mia pelle
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
Perche' son vivo
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
E finche' son vivo
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermarmi dal ragionare
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermare, fermare, fermare
Fermare quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va...
Positivo
La storia la matematica
L'italiano la geometria
La musica la la musica, la fantasia
Io credo che a questo mondo
Esista solo una grande chiesa
Che passa da CHE GUEVARA
E arriva fino a MADRE TERESA
Passando da MALCOLM X attraverso
GANDHI e SAN PATRIGNANO
Arriva da un prete in periferia
Che va avanti nonostante il Vaticano
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
Perche' son vivo
Io penso positivo perche' son vivo
E finche' son vivo
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermarmi dal ragionare
Niente e nessuno al mondo
Potra' fermare, fermare, fermare
Fermare quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va...
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va
Quest'onda che va
Quest'onda che viene e che va...
