Joy Surrender

The Ark

I was born to start a revolution

It would be my contribution

to a worldwide resurrection

I was born to start a million fires

The joy of men's desires

was laid in my hand



But I was born a weak and worried thinker

with an eagerness to know myself

that throws it all away



'Cos all I can think of is

love and Saturday

and how the golden road can seize to glare

Oh, man

What if I just don't gave a damn?

How wonderful

But after all the worst can't be that bad

Oh, man

What if I knew how to say

"Stop

no, let go"?



Oh, the angelheaded demon's-tongue

who thought he knew

why some mirrors crack so easily

Oh, now he ain't got a clue



And every now and then

it seems to me it's come to this

that promises and prophecies

was all I had to give



'Cos all I can think of is

love and Saturday

and how the golden road can seize to glare

Oh, man

What if I just don't gave a damn?

How wonderful

Hut after all the worst can't be that bad

Oh, man

What if I knew how to say

"Stop

no, let go"?



Oh, love

The worst can't be that bad

Oh, love

Saturday, and how the golden road can seize to glare

Oh, man

What if I just don't gave a damn?

How wonderful

But after all the worst can't be that bad

Oh, man

Seems like a joy surrender

Love
