Another life goes 2 the winner
Another soul goes 2 the dream
Another hell goes 2 the sinner
Don't give up no matter how tough it
seems
Come and dig the power of somethin'
above ya
It was there all along cuz it was made
2 love ya
It gave your flowers rain
Even though U won't play His game
U push it away but still it's pullin'
4 ya (I don't know)
CHORUS:
I don't know what He'll do witcha when
He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a
rainy day
I don't know what He'll do witcha when
He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a
rainy day
He might need U on the Eve Of Destruction
2 co-sign His order on that Judgment
Day
Shout His name from the highest hill
The bigger the headache, the bigger
the pill
Every purple mutha need 2 look His
way
The funk is here 2 stay
CHORUS
(I don't know)
Another life goes 2 the winner
Another soul goes 2 the dream
Another hell goes 2 the sinner
Don't give up no matter how tough it
seems
All in all, we got 2 come 2gether
And make a world that's 7 light-years
better
Come on, don't be shy
So they're laughin' high
It's waiting 4 those who can storm
the weather
Hey!
I don't know what He'll do witcha when He getcha
I don't know what He'll do witcha when
He getcha
Put U in His cookie jar, save U 4 a

Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer
night
A car door slams - out jumps Coco
in a dress so tight
The likeness of Jesus on a leather
coat
She's 2 smart 4 ecstasy, she's 2
fast 4 coke
She takes the boy by the hand
The only thing he understands
Is that she wants him on the dance
floor
Elephants and flowers
Hot sweaty light paints a picture
red and gold
On their just turned 18-year old
bodies - superbold!
Scream and dance 4 12 hours 2 the
New Power Soul (New Power)
No sex, no drugs, no devil here -
just gold ol' rock'n'roll
Elephants and flowers
CHORUS:
Love the One who is Love, the One
who gives us the power
The One who made everything - elephants
and flowers
The One who will listen when all
others will not
There will be peace 4 those who love
God a lot
Elephants and flowers {x2}
No confusion (Confusion)
No tears (No tears)
No enemies (No)
No fear (No fear)
No sorrow (Sorrow)
No pain (No pain)
No ball (No ball and no chain)
Sex is not love, love is not sex
Putting words in other people's mouth
won't get U elected
Don't kiss me, just talk 2 me {x2}
CHORUS
Elephants and flowers {x2}
(C'mon, everybody)
98 in the dark {fade out}
