Good evening I'm a cloud looking down upon my crazy crowd Helpless in not knowing just what I should or what I should not do But focus it's never too late to notice Pipedream are you working up a steam from the morning dew Pipedream I bequest taking impossibilities To the final test are you If I only knew Pipedream you've been oh so meek In walking up a dream from a deep deep sleep Pipedream Pipedream if I only knew I see industrial relations taking a dive into a bottomless pit Where only salvation survives and oh how it thrives I see lifestyle needing a change enough to make PG Wodehouse turn in his grave All the scientists chuckled away and then shuffled all day Pipedream are you working up a steam from the morning day Taking impossibilities to the final test are you @SONG: Fuer Elise (Trad. arr. The Nutty Boys) [Instrumental] @SONG: People (Thompson/Foreman) [Backgound vocals throughout the song: "People !"] People, it's been a long time coming Many years spent hop skipping and a-jumping We cracked the golden egg and cooked our goose There's no excuse, accept my truce There's a tremor in the air of all hell breaking loose And people, you like it or not, you'll go unheard Like the unknown soldier who didn't say a word Rounded up like the blood beaten rest of the herd At the crossroads of life in itself seems absurd But I'll hopscotch, cartwheel across, pointing the finger of fate Oh, I'm in the mood to create People people People, it's been a short term marriage The overnight revolution caused so much damage Try to understand me as I'm not here too long And do carry on do carry on do carry on do carry on Oh oh People people People people @SONG: You Got It! (Thompson/Foreman) I awoke to find the hasty trick Had rubbed up a mark in purple lipstick (You got it ! You got it !) She whipped my brain from between my legs Docile shockwaves zapped through my head (You got it ! You got it !) Then thundered off with my stingray around her But she won't get far I've finally found out (You got it ! You got it !) I'll seek high pray to God follow the dice No matter what the odds assume the part of Pepe le pew All my life that's not a hard tune to presume Should I find her with another man I'll try hard to understand I'll help the client out and through the door Throw him down the lift shaft of the thirteenth floor (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh !) (You got it ! You got it ! You got it ! You got it !) I've got the times and the places all the different faces All the misdemeanours to take you to the cleaners And should I do I'll run you through !!!!!!!!!!!!! Highjack my load sped off with my lust Jack-knifed my function I couldn't see her for dust (You got it ! You got it !) Make no mistake the smile upon her face as she said grace Tiptoeing up and down my backbone she hit a home run I'll seek high pray to God follow the dice No matter what the odds assume the part of Pepe le pew All my life that's not a hard tune to presume Should I find her with another man I'll try hard to understand I'll help the client out and through the door Throw him down the lift shaft of the thirteenth floor (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh !) (You got it ! You got it !) She whipped my brain from between my legs Docile shockwaves zapped through my head (You got it ! You got it !) Make no mistake the smile upon her face as she said grace Tiptoeing up and down my backbone looks like we hit a home run
