1000 Years
Under my tongue,
I carry a tune
Deep in the earth,
I can hardly reach
My mind is humming and buzzing,
It's numbing
When I can't
Get it to you
This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you
We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
This melody is my carpet ride
'Cross the ocean to you and you
Reaching out to you through this tune
'Round the globe just to get it to you
We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
My grave will bring me there,
Deep in the earth,
Singing that same old melody
Before Adam,
Before Eve,
The lizard sang this melody,
Now it's twisted,
And it's torn
Baffy lines and all you bores
Pick a pack, the troops, it's time
We've got melodies to spin
Come on, bring, leaders and men,
We've got some miracles to spin
Ooooooh, ooooooh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
We've been singing the same song,
For over a thousand years
His death spoke to me,
And her birth sang in perfect harmony
My grave will bring me there
Deep in the earth you'll find me
Singing that same, same, same old melody
Same old melody
My grave will bring me there
Ooooooh, ooooooh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhhh, ahhhh
