Joy

歌詞

I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head I woke up this morning with the blues all around my head I felt like someone in my family was dead I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees Called out all around me, said, "Have mercy on me please! Have mercy on me Please!" And there, over by the window, the voice came low and hollow Over by the window a voice came low and hollow Spoke into my pain, into my yearning sorrow Spoke into my pain Who was it? I cried What wild ghost has come in agitation? Who is it? I cried What wild ghost has come in agitation? It's half past midnight! Oh, why you disturb me so late! Then I saw a movement Then I saw a movement around Then I saw a movement around my narrow bed I saw a movement around my narrow bed Oh, a ghost in giant sneakers, laughing stars around his head Have mercy on me! Sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy Who sat on a narrow bed, this flaming boy Said, "We've all had too much sorrow Now is the time for joy." And all across the world they shout bad words They shout angry words All across the world they shout out their angry words About the end of love Yet the stars stand above the earth Bright, triumphant metaphors of love Bright, triumphant metaphors of love Blind us all who care to stand and look beyond a- Care to stand and look beyond above And I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I jumped up like a rabbit and fell down to my knees I called all around me, said, "Have mercy on me please! Have mercy on me please! Have mercy on me please! Ah, have mercy on me please!" For joy, for joy, for joy, for joy For joy, for joy, for joy Joy, joy, joy For joy, for joy, for joy For joy, for joy, for joy Oh, for joy Oh, have mercy on me please! Oh, joy Oh, joy Oh, joy
