God is playing marbles
With his planets and his stars
Creating havoc through my life
With his influence on Mars

That's why I'm stumbling down the highway
On my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels

In the present position of the planets
It's impossible for me to say
Just when I'll find my course again
With these boulders in my way

I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
Instead of stumbling down this highway
On my boots of steel
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels

That's why I'm stumbling down the highway
On my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels

God is playing marbles
With his planets and his stars
Creating havoc through my life
Through his influence on Mars

That's why I'm stumbling down the highway
On my boots of steel
I should be rolling down the skyway
On my cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels
Cosmic wheels, celestial wheels

I'm an earth sign, mama
I want you to understand
I'm an earth sign, mama
Take me by the hand
I like my trees and books
I like my women to cook
I'm an earth sign, mama
Take a look

You're an air sign, honey
You're all around me all the time
You're an air sign, honey
You're all around me all the time
You're like the mountain air
Flying through my hair
You're an air sign, honey
I do declare

I'm an earth sign, mama
I want you to understand
I'm an earth sign, mama
Take me by the hand
You're like a balmy breeze
Moving through my leaves
You're an air sign, baby
I do believe

Sweet, gentle sleep
Soothe and refresh me
Weary am I of this life
And my fortune

Black velvet night
Do envelope me
Falling am I, like a star
In a dark swoon

Winter peeps
And silent creeps
Under hill, over dale
Autumn leaves
Like crimson wreaths
Sadly down the wind sail
The wind sail

Little Linda
Glowing cinder
Sparkle like a star
Sun and roses
Merely shows us
Exactly where we are

A jaguar, a hollow car
Far in the winter lane-o
Lacework trees, the Jack Frost breeze
Pheasant birds are slain–o
They're slain-o
They're slain-o

Maria Magenta
Scarlet O'Hara
Henna, my honey
You are the one
My silver Moon lady
She like a choir boy
Hair all a-cloudy
And flying and real

A halo, a sky gold
A Moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud, go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna, my honey
You are the one

My copper go-go-girl
She like a show girl
Delightful Dolores
You are the one
My Anna Belinda
Rain on the window
Maggie, you're reggae
You move me along

A halo, a sky gold
The Moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud, go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna, my honey
You are the one

A halo, a sky gold
Moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud, go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna, my honey
You are the one

She's a wild witch lady
She's a voodoo child
She got poison lipstick
She drive King Kong wild
She eat boys for breakfast
She's a goblin girl
She suck up all your insides
And make your finger nails curl

Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing you are
Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing
Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing you are
Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing

She's a sleazy miss teasy
Black leather kid
You know, Mata Hari
Ain't done none of what she did

She got a reptile tongue
She drive a young man crazy
She make your old man young

Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing you are
Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing
Whoa, yeah! Sweet young thing that you are
Whoa, yeah! You're sweet young thing

She's a wild witch lady

People, come from miles around
To hear the music maker
Bring your friends and children too
To hear the music maker
Leave the towns and villages
And gather on the hill sides
Leave your worry, care and woe
And get yourself some good times
Have some fun out in the country
Celebrate your music in the open air
People, dance for miles around
To the music maker

People, clap your hands and sing
To my rockin' shaker
People, get your love together
Dig a slow heart breaker
Trippy, hippy, juicy Lucy
Krishna, nutty, soya, yogi
Ropper, skinhead, a-copper, a-cokehead
A-camper, freak and raver
Have some fun out in the country
Celebrate your music in the open air
People, dance for miles around
To the music maker

I was impressed like everyone
When man began to fly
Out of Earthly regions
To planets in the sky
With total media coverage
We watched the heroes land
As ceremoniously
They disturbed the cosmic sand

In awe with admiration
We listened to the talk
Such pride felt they, such joy
To be upon the Moon to walk
My romantic vision shattered
When it was explained to me
Spacemen wear old diapers
In which they shit and pee

Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to there
Relieve you and believe me
Without a worry or care
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars
Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to Mars

They don't partake like you and I
Of beefy burger mush
Their food is specially prepared
To dissolve into slush
Absorbed by multi-fibres
In the super-diaper suit
Otherwise the slush would trickle
Down inside the boot

Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to there
Relieve you and believe me
Without a worry or care
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars
Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to Mars

You may well ask now what becomes
Of liquid they consume
A pipe is led from penis head
To a unit in the room!
The water is recirculated
Filtered for re-use
In case some anti-gravity
Pee gets on the loose

Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to there
Relieve you and believe me
Without a worry or care
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars
Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to Mars

Wherever man has conquered
On the quest for frontiers new
I'm glad he's always had to do
The number one and two
It makes it all so ordinary
Just like you and me
To know the greatest heroes
They had to shit and pee

The Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to there
For cosmic constipation
Theres none that can compare!
If shitting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars
Oh, the Intergalactic Laxative
The Intergalactic Laxative
The Intergalactic Laxative
Will get you from here to Mars

You're such a good friend
I'd hate to have you as an enemy
From the first time we met
I knew you were the one to set me free

You liked me
I liked you
You liked me
I liked you

Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out West for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Burning your body to fill in the time

Sad city sister on avenue of palm
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Just like a man he who walks, yet is dead

I asked you to dance
And you wondered and you thought you might
So we went and took a chance
On the cat walk in the cold star light

I held you
You felt me
I touched you
You kissed me

Holding my heart in the palm of your hand
Headed out West for the Indian lands
Dreams of the golden boy tangling your mind
Drugs aid your body to fill in the time

Sad city sister on avenue of palm
I knew naively that I was your man
I followed after with heavy heart of lead
Just like a man he who walks, yet is dead

When you wake up in the morning
And can't seem to raise your head
You sit staring in the teacup
At the egg upon your bread
And the life that you are living
Doesn't seem to be quite real
You have only what the lonely call the blues

When you're feeling tired and weary
With your eyes cast to the floor
For a loved one who has left you
On a bleak and distant shore
You may think you're being picked on
But you are not the first
To have only what the lonely call the blues

You have only what the lonely call the blues

There are no rules to follow
No advice to take
You're the only one
Who can give yourself a shake
Someone will appear
To dispel all your fear
In a funny unexpected way

There are no rules to follow
No advice to take
You're the only one
Who can give yourself a shake
Someone will appear
To dispel all your fear
In a funny unexpected way

Then you'll wake up in the morning
With a smile upon your face
And you'll look out on the world and see
It is a happy place
With no memory of misery
You will soon forget
You had only what the lonely call the blues

You had only what the lonely call the blues
You had only what the lonely call the blues
You had only what the lonely call the blues

Can't get the shake together with the rock
Movin' her body before she can walk
People say you get nowhere till you talk
But you feel and you hurt and you love
You do feel and you hurt and you love

You got the legs to strut it on down
Parade your pretty self in the town
Won't be so long now and you'll get around
For to feel and to hurt and to love
For to feel and to hurt and to love

Don't let appearances fool you
Life's not what your rule book tells
Don't let appearances fool you
Feel the vibes as well
Feel the vibes as well

Now you're a woman, you use it well
Shakin' your pills at the wedding bell
People say you get nowhere till you smell
But you feel and you hurt and you love
Yes, you feel and you hurt and you love

Don't let appearances fool you
I'm not what your rule book tells
Don't let appearances fool you
Gotta take a feel of vibes as well
(Don't) Don't let appearances fool you
(Let) Life's not what your rule book tells
(Appearances) Don't let appearances fool you
(Fool you) Gotta feel the vibes as well
Don't let appearances fool you
Life's not what your rule book tells
Don't let appearances fool you
I'm not what your rule book tells
Don't let appearances fool you
Take a feel of the vibes as well
