Mimosa

Time is driftin', this rock has got to roll,
So i hit the road and made my getaway.
Restless feeling, i really gotta hold,
I started searching for a better way.


Chorus:
And i kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
But i couldn't see the light, no i couldn't see the light.
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night,
But i couldn't get it right, no i couldn't get it right.


La fever, made me feel alright,
But i must admit it got the best of me.
Gettin' down, so deep i nearly drowned,
I can't get back to where i used to be.


Chorus


New york city, took me with the tide,
I nearly died from hospitality,
Left me stranded, and took away my pride,
Just another know it all fatality.


Chorus (repeat to fade)

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just some silly phase that i'm going through.
And just because, i call you up
Hey, don't get me wrong, don't think that you got it made.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.


I'd like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean, you mean that much to me.
So if i call you, don't make no fuss,
Don't tell your friends 'bout the two of us.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.


I keep your picture, up on my wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back,
You know it doesn't mean that much to me.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.


Ooooh, you wait a long time for me x2
What's the matter? big boys don't cry!
Ooooh, you wait a long time for me x2
What's the matter? big boys don't cry!


I'm not in love, so just forget it.
It's just a silly phase that i'm goin' through.
And just because, i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think that you got it made.


I'm not in love x5
I'm not in love.

- everybody be cool, this is a robbery!
- any of you fucking pricks move, and i'll execute every motherfucking last one of you!

Me and fast got the gats; we're out to rob a bank.
We got steve outside carrying a full pack.
Now everything's cool and everything's smooth. (hey that's smooth)
I walked up to the teller, i gave her the letter
She gave me the loot with puckered up lips
And a wink that i found cute, and i said,
"baby, baby, baby"
(is this some kharmic-chi love thing happening here baby or what.)
By that time fast tapped me with the 9
He said it was time to blow, ya know. so out the door we go.
Back to the ride with steve inside and alive; off we drive
I hurt my lower lumbar, you know we'll
Never get far, riding around in a stolen
Police car, so we dropped it off and
Piled in a caddy; steve was driving
Because i had to talk to my man about something.

- look, i don't know anything about any fucking set-up, you can torture me all you want.
- torture you, that's good, that's a good idea, i like that one.

Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of scooby snacks! (2x)

I don't give a fuck about the hell's
Gate, ain't punkin' the crowd and i'm still
Standing up straight.
So, we pull these jobs to make a little money;
No one gets hurt if they don't act funny.
On the way to the yacht, we almost got caught,
Fast is shooting mailboxes, not knowing
Where the cop is.
They're at the dunkin donuts, adjacent from
The froman's whose mailbox fast had just
Exploded. they gave chase, but my man
Steve is an ace; we lost those brothers
With haste. we cast off and along we went
Off bermuda to an island resort we rented.

- sonny, i need you cool, are you cool?
- i am cool.

Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of scooby snacks! (4x)

And i'll be seeing you, in all the old, familiar places,
That this heart of mine embraces, all day through,
And in that small cafe, the park along the way,
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees and the wishing well,


And i'll be seeing you, in every love me summer's day,
In everything that's light and gay, i'll always think of you that way,
And i'll find you, in the morning sun, and when the night is young,
I'll be looking at the moon, but i'll be seeing you.


(followed by up on the hill instrumental)

They try to move us; to use us
Like judas did jesus; to please us
Diverting the issues to misuse the peoples
How are we gonna get 'em?
How are we gonna vote them out?
When the wingtips got it locked up
With one thing you don't know.
Ya dig it? the freaking wingtips did it.
But some of us are wise and some of us are suckers. . .
And we all bleed red even racist motherfuckers.

And i can't get with that.
No i can't get with that (2x)

I said: no, i can't get with that
No i can't get with that (2x)
(3x)

I see the hoes and the hustlers
Be piled up in clusters
Since they upped the anti, and hooked up giuliani
And the black kill the black and
Latino kill latino; man it's evil. . .
The same damn story and a sequel
I thought i fought for what was right,
But in the end, my friend, 20-20 is hindsight.
I think i caught you out there
Chillin in the bahamas.
I take you to miami to meet the dalai lama.

And i can't get with that.
No i can't get with that (2x)

I said: no, i can't get with that
No i can't get with that (2x)
(5x)

We have all the time in the world.
Time enough for life to unfold all the precious things life has in store.
And we got all the love in the world.
And as time goes by you will find we need nothing more.

And every step of the way we'll find us
With the kiss of the world behind us.
And we got all the time in the world for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.
(2x)

Only love, yeah baby.
