On Top of the World (Bootlegged live at The Albert, Brighton, Dec 97)
I once was a stranger to the world
My feet wouldn't touch the earth
I was so high that it hurt
Moon shine high no shadow will fall
Moon shine high, yeah
Well the seed feeds of the earth, its arms go deep down, deep down
But I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, I didn't know how
The far side is the right side,
The thin line leads all the way heavenbound
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah!
Now it feels alright
Oh
Here turns the world
Well I put myself here way back when
I voice came and blew the walls of a barricade to the ground
Everything came down
I voice so low I cried
Although I know I will cry again
What will you send to break me?
To clear my mind of dreams
To show me what you mean
To see all things one moment in time
To open my eyes, to change
Once I crawled on the floor
That was long before I heard you name
Oh m'allah alieee
You know the white river runs, and it's running with me
You know the white river runs, and I'm running to see
You know you don't need a reason to be clean
Now it feels alright
Here turns the world
And I'm standing onboard
Oh lord, the merry-go-round, round and round ... repeats
Time to jump the horse
My feet wouldn't touch the earth
I was so high that it hurt
Moon shine high no shadow will fall
Moon shine high, yeah
Well the seed feeds of the earth, its arms go deep down, deep down
But I couldn't see, I couldn't feel, I didn't know how
The far side is the right side,
The thin line leads all the way heavenbound
Oh!
Oh!
Yeah!
Now it feels alright
Oh
Here turns the world
Well I put myself here way back when
I voice came and blew the walls of a barricade to the ground
Everything came down
I voice so low I cried
Although I know I will cry again
What will you send to break me?
To clear my mind of dreams
To show me what you mean
To see all things one moment in time
To open my eyes, to change
Once I crawled on the floor
That was long before I heard you name
Oh m'allah alieee
You know the white river runs, and it's running with me
You know the white river runs, and I'm running to see
You know you don't need a reason to be clean
Now it feels alright
Here turns the world
And I'm standing onboard
Oh lord, the merry-go-round, round and round ... repeats
Time to jump the horse
