|
I poisoned myself but I survived the thrill of life I altered my state of mind so I could fly Travelled beyond my pedestrian ties, my innocence and their sweet lies I rode in that car as far as it would take me I don't need no gun Walk into the sun Find what's going on Find what's going down I don't need no gun Walk into your fun Fun into the sun Find what's going on Your velvet tear rolled off my back, your arms wrapped tight around me I felt so good knowing that you could let go with me I don't need no gun Walk into the sun Find what's going on Find what's going down I don't need no gun Walk into your fun Fun into the sun Find what's going on Crazy hippie girl soft lips make me swirl More than I can feel mystery to me Joy d'vivre Mysterious life what do you hold for us in your cloak? I begin to shake your horses they are frightening me I don't need no gun Walk into the sun Find what's going on Find what's going down I don't need no gun Walk into your fun Fun into the sun Find what's going on Had my child son I'm a young king now Hey mysterious life Holy criticised Yeah Joy d'vivre | |
