Let’s hang together I’ll meet you and we’ll get away
Let’s hang together in the morning on a Saturday
We feel so much better over many things we’ve been through
It’s always sunny weather if I’ve been hanging with you

Let’s hang together in the park or at the market place
Let’s hang together there’s a story on every face
We feel so much better over many things we’ve got to do
It’s always sunny weather if I’ve been hanging with you

Tell me how you’re doing how long has it been
It’s so great to see you I’m smiling again
While I’m on a crowded avenue I’m with my best friend
Let’s hang together in sneakers and old blue jeans
Let’s hang together ’cause we’re gonna be a part of the scene
We feel so much better over many many things we do
It’s always sunny weather if I’ve been hanging with you

We’ve got time to make up but you’re gonna see
There is no place I would rather be
Though I’m on a crowded avenue you’re right here with me
Let’s hang together in sneakers and old blue jeans

Let’s hang together ’cause we’re gonna be a part of the scene
We feel so much better over many many things we do
It’s always sunny weather if I’ve been hanging with you

It isn’t everyday I can remember something new
Now it seems I come the most alive when I am close to you
I know you feel the same when you smile that special way
For the sweetest love I’ll ever know—it isn’t everyday

It isn’t everyday while I awake I am aware
Of the many ways that I can show you how much I really care
I want to hold you tight and for you to hear me say
You are the sweetest love I’ll ever know—it isn’t everyday

You bring the best out of my life
And I want to share it all with you
And for the rest of my own life
Is like a dream that’s coming true

It isn’t everyday now a different world I see
For you’re the one who has begun this change inside of me
The sun is breaking through those chilly clouds of gray
For the sweetest love I’ll ever know—it isn’t everyday
It isn’t everyday

Give me just one more chance at making that big big score
The numbers I’ve got are a long long shot but a payoff so much more
They’re telling me that nothing gambled gonna get me nothing gained
When I stay away from the wagers I play
my life isn’t the same

Wouldn’t you suppose wouldn’t you agree
With odds like those you never play for free
Still I can’t ever help but wonder where all the money goes
Put a coin in the slot to hit the jackpot– wouldn’t you suppose

Give me that pull tab scratch off ticket
or the lottery
The thrill I get when I place my bet there’s nothing like it for me
I can hear the numbers tumbling and the big wheel spin
Only one more tick and I know they’ll pick some chump like me to win

Wouldn’t you suppose wouldn’t you agree
With odds like those how can you
play for free
Still I can’t ever help but wonder where all the money goes
Gonna put down a buck trying my luck– wouldn’t you suppose

Coming up someday they’re gonna pay me that cash grand prize
It’ll only show that another deal goes to any taker who tries
I’m gonna be so filthy rich someday but it’s only half the fun
Because I won’t let anybody forget it was my little ticket that won

Wouldn’t you suppose wouldn’t you agree
With odds like those you never play for free
Still I can’t ever help but wonder where all the money goes
With the ticket I take it’s my lucky break– wouldn’t you suppose
I put a coin in the slot to hit the jackpot– wouldn’t you suppose

How cool is that– though every line has a busy number
How cool is that– you will be fine
as the true cucumber
’Cause you knew how to chill– and you won’t have to play a fool
For a way to take life easy– how cool

How cool is that– though the guy up ahead won’t accelerate it
How cool is that– you’ll take your time and refrigerate it
’Cause there’s a simple game and it’s got one simple rule
For a way to take life easy– how cool
You could change channels with a
universe remote
On your control panel for whatever floats
your boat

How cool is that– just to drift downstream where it’s movin’ easy
How cool is that– you’re gonna make the scene where it’s smooth and breezy
I think I’ll go there too– I’ll catch you later by the pool
For a way to take life easy– how cool
You could change channels with a
universe remote
On your control panel for whatever floats
your boat

How cool is that– just to drift downstream where it’s movin’ easy
How cool is that– you’re gonna make the scene where it’s smooth and breezy
I know I’ll go there too– I’ll catch you later
by the pool
For a way to take life easy– how cool
For a way to take life easy– how cool

Word have another word I’ll give you the word today
With the good news with the bad news
And then I’m gonna go away
I hope someday you’re gonna get it– it’s what everybody has heard
Take it easy when you take it take my word

Word have another word though the critics will disagree
It’s a good thing it’s a bad thing
And they’ll tell you confidentially
I hope someday you’re gonna get it– it’s what everybody has heard
Take it easy when you take it take my word
Take my word and maybe then you’ll understand
How I’ve a really been in a hurry through
this land

Word have another word I’ll give you the word once more
Over good times over bad times
Over times that we’ve seen before
I hope someday you’re gonna get it– it’s what everybody has heard
Take it easy when you take it take my word
Take my word and maybe then you’ll get
the point
How I’ve a really been in a hurry through
this joint

Word have another word I’ll give you the word today
With the good news with the bad news
With me getting out of my own way
I hope someday you’re gonna get it– it’s what everybody has heard
Take it easy when you take it take my word

Ask of the children what faith really means
But to trust our assurance in things unseen
Fairy tale pictures and nursery rhymes
We all could find once upon a time
Ask the children

Ask of the children will hope survive
To imagine that one dream and keep it alive
Fairy tale pictures and nursery rhymes
We all could find once upon a time
Ask the children

Happily ever after in a story and a song
All the children long to be free
Happily ever after God’s kingdom belongs
To the children to you and to me

Ask of the children what love is for
Though we may give love away still we will have more
Fairy tale pictures and nursery rhymes
We all could find once upon a time
Ask the children
Ask the children

Last night I dreamed I thought I was dead–
In another life
Because the earth stood still and the moon turned red– In another life
There’s one thing that scared me the most–
In another life
When I looked over my shoulder and saw a ghost– In another life
I looked back over the things I believed–
In another life
And all the worthless wisdom that I received– In another life
So I told my family I told my friends–
In another life
I said that I’m coming back but I didn’t say when– In another life

Tell me what’s the difference– I know
There was something that I started to see
What’s the difference– I know
In a parallel universe waiting for me

What a super hero I turned out to be–
In another life
Until they gave out my secret identity–
In another life
And so I discovered the best I could do–
In another life
When I went and reinvented that person they knew– In another life

Tell me what’s the difference– I know
There was something that I started to say
What’s the difference– I know
From some other dimension back in the day

Continue the legend continue the myth–
In another life
And I can take you along if you want to come with– In another life
We’ll find out we never have to grow old–
In another life
And we can take back all of the stories we told– In another life

Last night I dreamed I thought I was dead–
In another life
Because the earth stood still and the moon turned red– in another life

You don’t say– you don’t say what you don’t want to say
You hide behind a wall inside your mind
Understand it’s over what you won’t give away
You don’t say and you leave it all behind
You don’t hear– you don’t hear what you don’t want to hear
You hide behind a wall inside your mind
Understand it’s over what you think is not
so clear

You don’t hear and you leave it all behind
Wasn’t that you in the closet you make a
little spark
And there’s a skeleton hanging on a hook
Wasn’t that you in the closet searching in
the dark
What is it you’ll find– where is it you’ll look

You don’t know– you don’t know what you don’t want to know
You hide behind a wall inside your mind
Understand it’s over what you gave up long ago
You don’t know and you leave it all behind

Elephant stands in your parlor but you won’t make a sound
You hope no one will notice that he’s there
The elephant stands in your parlor he’s hard to get around
That’s the way you want it you hope no one
will care

You don’t say– you don’t say what you don’t want to say
You hide behind a wall inside your mind
Understand it’s over what you won’t give away
You don’t say and you leave it all behind
You don’t say

No you don’t have my number– how’d you
ever get my name
I wonder what kind of somebody is making
this claim
You may not think it’s a blunder– you may say it’s all the same
But no you don’t have my number or my name

And the cold war is over open up a brave
new world
And call an end to a crisis of identity
Let me file away all those theories of conspiracy
And the cold war is over for me

No you don’t have my number– how’d you
ever get my name
The face card over the race card is part of
the game
You may not think it’s a blunder– you may say it’s all the same
But no you don’t have my number or my name

And the cold war is over open up a brave
new world
A single super power for our destiny
And the Iron Curtain crumbling for a
new mythology
And the cold war is over for me
And the cold war is over for me

It was like– It was like
Holding hands again at summer camp
Together on our nature hike
It was like– It was like
Out on the trail we heard a tale of love
Let’s say it was like

It was like– It was like
We were delighted and so excited
At whatever new thing came down the pike
It was like– It was like
When that little video did with a thing
called love
Let’s say it was like

You and me would see the thrill of a carnival coaster ride
So begins another spin would you be at my side

It was like– It was like
You could pedal ahead I let you go
Down the sidewalk riding a bike
It was like– It was like
We found the sound track took us back to love
Let’s say it was like

As the curtain will rise up and the actor
comes out
It seems all of the world is a stage
Is he playing his part there can be little doubt
It seems all of the world is a stage

Now the cards in his hands will they be
worth enough
He looks around into their eyes
Could he make one more bet could he make one more bluff
He looks around into their eyes

For the story behind all the stories they find
There’s another game yet to be played
In the secrets they told there’s the secret
they hold
Everyone is afraid Everyone is afraid

It was set to go off in the midst of a crowd
Why can’t things be like just yesterday
And he knows that his people back home will be proud
Why can’t things be like just yesterday

There’s a knock on the door after midnight
out there
It was on Second Avenue
And a neighbor will be taken away to somewhere
It was on Second Avenue

For the story behind all the stories they find
There’s the infidel on his crusade
In the secrets they told there’s the secret
they hold
Everyone is afraid Everyone is afraid

Though the Rockies may rise up and fly
into space
They know what goes up will come down
And the Manhattan towers might seem out
of place
They know what goes up will come down

Now a question comes out of the shadows today
No one will give it one second thought
Will the people put all their disguises away
No one will give it one second thought

For the story behind all the stories they find
There’s a mystery and a charade
In the secrets they told there’s a secret
they hold
Everyone is afraid Everyone is afraid

Seems to me while I’m cruising
Don’t know where I’m coming from
All this time I’ve been losing
Along a continuum

Now if somehow I can line up
And ride out a wave till it’s done
Scratch the surface and sign up
Along a continuum

That ever widening circle– the sound of a different drum
That ever widening circle– those echoes I recognize some
Along a continuum

Maybe someday I can match up
Knowing who I will become
Show me where I can catch up
Along a continuum

There’s a thin minute dripping– drop by drop
There’s a thin minute tripping– it never stops

That ever widening circle– the sound of a different drum
That ever widening circle– those echoes I wonder how come
Along a continuum

Seems to me while I’m cruising
So far from where I’ve begun
All this time I’ve been losing
Along a continuum
All this time I’ve been losing
Along a continuum

Amuna taya sumpin
Amuna taya wussup
Amuna taya sumpin
Amuna taya wussup

The candidate handles the microphone
He smiles in the camera lens
He has a brand new message for you
Why don’t you bring your friends

(Chorus)

The man of the moment is up on the screen
He’s thinking outside of the box
We’re puzzling out what he really means
With the marvelous way that he talks

He knows he can be controversial
With the content he’s ready to play
But first this message commercial
Stay tuned– don’t go away
