Nektar - Down To Earth
Lyrics written by Roye, Mo & Mick
Music written by Roye, Taff, Mo & Ron
A NEKTAR composition!
Little boy covered in make–up, what has the world done to him?
You think I'm only joking, But I tell you, you're not getting through.
We give all our lives for you, just we two, never get away.
We give all our love to you, just we two, never get away, never get away, gently slip away.
Your mind growing older, what has this life done to him?
You think we're only joking, but I tell you, you're not getting through.
We give all our lives for you, all day through, never give away.
We give all our time you see, just so we gently slip away, gently slip away

Und now, are you ready for this one? You will like it, kiddies.
We present for your fervent felicitations, the fabulous, futuristic, far fetched feats of the fearless Fidgety Queen!
She's so fidgety when were alone.
She's so hard to take why can't we know?
But I'll still take her home,
I know she's all wrong,
But she's all right yes she's all right
but she's all right with me now. Me now.
She's so put it on she's not that way.
When she's on the make can't let her go.
And I'll still take her home,
I know she's all wrong,
But she's all right, yes she's all right
but she's all right with me now. Me now.
She's a circus queen she lets you know.
It's a masquerade she is a show. But I'll still take her home,
I know she's all wrong,
But she's all right, yes she's all right
but she's all right with me now. Me now.

Oh comes the morning, the sun is still yawning,
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to reappear
It's the morning re arranged
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to re appear
It's the morning re arranged through the dawning.
In the mist slowly stirring the ground
Lonely feelings with grease paint and saw dust around.
Don't take me for what I am worth
We can make it if only my feet can touch the earth.
Oh it's the morning warm rays are a falling
Through the leaves with fresh dew on their face
ever moving to find the right place to catch the sun.
It's the morning rearranged
The light has brought day to us here
as the breeze summons buds on the trees to re appear
It's the morning re arranged through the dawning
In the mist slowly stirring the ground
Lonely feelings with grease paint and saw dust around.
Don't take me for what I am worth
We can make it if only my feet can touch the earth.

Ladies and gentlemen, Daman and Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs,
Caballeros and Horsewomen of the world. I give you the fantastic Nelly and her performing elephants
An extraordinary exhibition of animal dexterity from the jungles of darkest Africa!
The elephant's tusk is very valuable, but, an elephant is very hard to catch.
Elephants are extremely fond of oranges, of which they consume an enormous quantity.

Oh, Willie got the second kind of billing
Got me going on a cross town village.
You'll sing a song, I'll sing along, you got it made now.
You've got it made for Saturday, Willie
I'll be around, you've got the sound, you got the feeling.
Get it on home, you've got the song, get it on, Willie.
Oh, Willie got the second kind of billing
Got me going on a cross town village.
You'll sing a song, I'll sing along, you got it made now.
Ten o'clock and you've got to be going,
go get the band, I'll be around, play me that song.
You'll sing a song, I'll sing along, get it on, Willie

Show me the way, I can't find peace of mind.
Help me fare in every way.
Nothing but to fall
Change what you tried to do.
Hey, it's the end.
You may try to be old but I'm told you're too young.
Don't despair I'll really show you now.
Riches all around
painted on the ground.
Takes a long time, please come back
if you can
Show me the way, Not to float to here.
In my mind ropes UN–twine
Please don't be long
Nothing but to fall.

It's not the way you do it, it's not the way you try
Life is just confusion and that's the reason why.
Take away the killer, take away his knife
Take away his reasons, give him back his life.
Ooh, la la life, ooh, la la life, Ooh la la life
ooh, la la la la la la la is life,
Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit

Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit
Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit
Now he feels his heart–beat, let him have a chance.
More than many people crying in their hands.
He can see the nightmares, now he see the light.
Giving him no Reasons, Aggressive or fight.
Ooh, la la life, ooh, la la life, Ooh la la life
ooh, la la la la la la la is life,
Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit
Dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit

Ya, Frauen und herren, so ist das lieben, yes ladies and gentlemen, that is life
Now there follows a short intermission during which you may smoke cigarettes, matches, etc

Back in town with the biggest show around
Strike up with the band
it's time for Astral Man
Don't know where he'll be landing
from his tightrope in the sky
Don't know if he will make it.
Close your eyes
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Astral Man how gracefully he lands
Thrills all 'round
his antics know no bounds.
Don't know what he'll be doing
on his his tightrope in the sky
he thrills the little children
Close your eyes
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Astral Man acknowledges the band
People clap
they appreciate his his act.
he bows towards the people
and leaves the ring behind
Hoping he has given
money's worth
watch him fly
Astral Man
turning in relation to the ground
Burning, please remember what you see
Returning together down to earth
oh oh oh yeh oh, oh oh yeh, oh oh oh yeh
Down to earth
Thank you Astral man!!!
