There is life on this planet
And I know because I've seen it
It is waiting in the slimiest of Saturday nights
There's a white haunted moon
Hanging over the lagoon
It was made for a moment just such as this
There is love in the eyes of the birds and bees
There are plastic bags in suburban trees
Keep your eyes open all the time
And I think you'll find there's no place to hide
And the world is alive
(Between the verses, strum a few times with all the strings muted with your left hand)
There are sailors on the ocean
Little kids with crazy notions
And their heads are gonna spin like a tornado
There's a Bible by the TV
And the curtains blowing freely
In this hotel room make my heart do flips
There's a bush that burns but is not consumed
There's a glass of milk in an empty room
There's a song at the heart of it all
And we all try hard just to write it down
But you can't write it down
x4
End on G
