Be Born Lyrics
Tally Hall
Lyrics
I suppose you're quite content
In your swimming pool
All you pink skinned babes are the same
And you can't stay forever young
So get out here and see the sun
You're only six inches away from becoming one
I was in your shoes before
Or lack thereof
And things worked out for me
There's a dozen people here
And they're waiting for you
It's your party you can cry if you want to
What if I told you
I could show you something
What if I told you
I could make you live
Follow my instruction
Swim in the direction
Of my voice
Hear my voice
Of my voice
Hear my voice
You think that you've seen it all
In your little ball
Man you're wrong and she's been waiting
Long and hard to kiss your head
And hold your hands
And hold you while you fall asleep
What if I told you
I could show you something
What if I told you
I could make you live
Follow my instruction
Swim in the direction
Of my voice
Hear my voice
Of my voice
Hear my voice
Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Baaa
Baaa Ba da Ba Ba-ee-ah
Ba Ba Ba
Ba da Baaa
Baaa Ba da Ba Ba-ee-ah
What if I told you
I could show you something
What if I told you
I could make you live
Follow my instruction
Swim in the direction
Of my voice
Hear my voice
Of my voice
Hear my voice
