Peter Gabriel -o- Road to Joy

Waking up, waking up, waking up… Waking up the road to joy So as swollen skies Look for anchors, look for tides Sharp sound swim around Soaking into the brittle ground Been so many days, held inside this body Been so many days and there’s nothing to do Been so many days throbbing at the darkness Been so many days, I’ve been waiting for you Back in the world Waking up the road to joy Love calls through the walls Won’t slip wherever it falls Life’s form won’t calm you down Going in for another round This is how it goes, I’ve been listening to the voices This is how it goes, you were sure I was gone This is how it goes in this state of meditation This is how it goes, I’ve been waiting for you Back in the world Waking up the road to joy Back in the world Walking down the road to joy The еngine stops inside the pausе Fills the holes and cracks [?] Young and old, girl and boy Dance along the road to joy Picture sharpens in your head Opens up when it’s been red All the things he’s trained to see Come on, darling, come to me Show your eyes, show your teeth That’s the way to build belief Touch my hair, touch my knee You can wake up every part of me [Pre-Chorus 3] Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes Get the blood to flow, flowing all around me Get the blood to flow with the life in my soul Back in the world Walking down the road to joy Just when you think it can’t get worse The mind reveals the universe Opens up, but just to start It gives you straight just who you are I’m more a dog, you’re more a cat Then we getty bod of that Alive again all as snake Then we jump into the lake
