At the birth of the dayÂÂÂ
As a babe of the sprayÂÂÂ
Like a white star, tangled and far,ÂÂÂ
Tulip that's what you are.ÂÂÂ
Warm and wise as a muteÂÂÂ
In the thunderbolt suitÂÂÂ
Princely and torn, grasping the hornÂÂÂ
Of the maenads of May.ÂÂÂ
Sleepy dreaming of darkÂÂÂ
Silver Satyrs in parksÂÂÂ
Statues that say, worship the dayÂÂÂ
For only humans you are.ÂÂÂ
Channels churning the grimeÂÂÂ
Inky dreams of our timeÂÂÂ
Into the Sun, where the white oneÂÂÂ
Poems them into a rhyme.ÂÂÂ
On a hill the clear shrillÂÂÂ
Made the Titans most illÂÂÂ
Angels abound, andÂÂÂ
I'm kissing the groundÂÂÂ
Thrilled to be aroundÂÂÂ
Vineyards spangled with loveÂÂÂ
For the white dove aboveÂÂÂ
Green and lean from the wasteÂÂÂ
Of the pastures of chasteÂÂÂ
Preciously he is whole.ÂÂÂ
Twinkled eyes like a kingÂÂÂ
Charted seas on your skinÂÂÂ
Like a White Star, tangled and far,ÂÂÂ
Tulip that's what you are.I've been here
And I've been there
People look at me
And stare they don't know
Where I come from
Well I've seen this
And I've seen that
And I don't care where they're at
My heart's beating like a drum
All I need to save my soul
Is a dose of rock 'n' roll
CHORUS
We're alright
Rock you all night
Hey .. rock on
What goes up
Ain't never comin' down
Hey .. rock on
I've been up
And I've been down
I've been all around this town
People, it's a human wasteland
I say oh yeah, alright
Better stick with me tonight
We'll go to the promised land
Set me free
Can't you see
It's the only way to be
CHORUS
