Jump For Joy

lyrics

JUMP FOR JOY
i wake up in the morning and i jump for joy
it’s a brand new day and i’m a baby boy
with my mind on my body and my body on my mind,
every thing’s gonna work out fine!

livin in this big mashed-up mix, they got heads like bricks and it’s hard to fix
but I wake up in the morning and I count my lucky stars,
cuz I know where the angels are
you can find ‘em at the bus stop, lock-pop dance spots,
maybe time to time in the dungeons of hip-hop
drones and clones forgot about their skins and bones
forgot their souls and the heavenly home
so I heavily hone the blades of truth
bless tracks up in the vocal booth

you wake up in the morning and you jump for joy
it’s a brand new day and you’re a baby boy
loose as a goose is the name of the game
and everything’s gonna work out fine

so next time you see me, slap me some skin
i’m deep in a struggle and I’m dying to win
and i’m dying to be strong, my insides are like a see-saw
between the funny queer and funny hee-haw
can you viva in this backwards beat box?
take me back to be-bop where the head is the hop

and wake up in the morning and you give it a whirl
it’s a brand new day and you’re a baby girl
with your mind on your body and your body on your mind
everything gotta work out fine

at burning man, in the winter of our disco tent,
danced our heads straight in a world so bent
only to come home after ten days of visions,
and find they’ve built a gas pump with a television!
When will the groundhog finally see his shadow again,
step to the news crew, sayin to them
“listen here! I wanna go on larry king live, share the underground knowledge of my groundhog tribe
my kind is who you picked to predict the future,
whatcha gon do when the prophecy doesn’t suit ya?
tellin the truth, chippin yr sweet tooth, bringin the weather report from the vocal booth


and i could cry me a river, cause i’m so surprised
everything gotta work, everything gotta work, everything gotta work out fine
