request the honor of your presence
the tear gas has blown away
put down your crumpets and your coffee now
so unfasionably late
Pre-Chorus
little brother, little sister
underwater we go
out of our ordinary selves
steppin out to where the people sing
Chorus
wooohoooooooooooooooo
-and the people sing
-and the times are good
you say i`m acting like a beggar
i call it killin the fool
you carry more baggage
than a momma`s boy
on your first day of school
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
let go the light of the t.v.
drop the hands
the chains that bind me
turn it all around
stop, lift you up `n die to self
in a time when the left and the right`s the same
when it`s all blurred vision in a crazy haze
send out the invitations!
Chorus
you say i`m acting like a beggar
i call it killing the fool
to save your life you gotta lose it
so the people sing
