Selected lyrical works from across the archive.
All the Things That I Used To Know Have Gone out the Window
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All Those Signs I Knew What They Meant
All those signs,
I knew what they meant
Some things you can invent
Some get made,
and some get sent
Am I Right Side Up or Upside Down?
And All This Science, I Don’t Understand
And all this science, I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
And I’m Trying to Believe in Things That I Don’t Know
And I’m trying to believe
in things that I don’t know –
The turning of the world,
the color of your soul
And the Eyes in His Head See the World Spinning Round
And the eyes in his head
see the world spinning round
And the World Keeps Spinning ’Round
And the world keeps spinning ’round –
But my world’s upside down,
and I wouldn’t change a thing
Before the Earth Was Round, There Was No End to Things
Before the earth was round,
there was no end to things –
And no one tried to measure
what they knew
Believe That Planet Earth Turns
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
But Never Feel the Earth Spinning Around
Night after night,
watching the sky move –
But never feel the earth spinning around
By and by We’ll Defy, a Little Bit of Gravity
By and by we’ll defy,
a little bit of gravity
Did We Create a Modern Myth?
Did we create a modern myth?
Did we imagine half of it?
From the Top of the World Every Which Way Is Down
From the top of the world
every which way is down
Here I Am in Silence, It’s a Game I Have to Play
Here I am in silence
It’s a game I have to play
How Can We Believe the World Is Round?
How can we believe the world is round?
I Could Feel the Whole World Turn Round Underneath Me
I could feel the whole world
turn round underneath me
Rod Stewart / The Shotgun Express
I Could Feel The Whole World Turn Round
I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet
I feel the earth move under my feet
I Wander Through Fiction to Look for the Truth
I wander through fiction to look for the truth –
Buried beneath all the lies –
And I stood at a distance to feel who you are –
Hiding myself in your eyes
I’m on a Plain, I Can’t Complain
I’m on a plain –
I can’t complain
In Dreams the World Keeps Going ’Round and ’Round
Sitting ’til the sun goes down –
In dreams, the world keeps going
’round and ’round
It Was All a Bad Dream Spinning in Your Head
It was all a bad dream
spinning in your head
It’s Just the Way That Gravity Works Round Here
It’s Made in a Hollywood Basement
Space may be the final frontier,
but it’s made in a Hollywood basement
It’s Where I’ll Hide What You Don’t See
All my faith is in the next big thing –
It’s where I’ll hide what you don’t see
Research and Find Out the Root of the Truth That You Seek Of
The Earth was flat, if you went too far,
you would fall off
Now the Earth is round, if the shape change again, everybody woulda start laugh
The average man can’t prove of most of the things that he chooses to speak of
And still won’t research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of
Damian Marley
(Nas & Damian Marley)
Patience
Since I Fell for That Spell, I Am Living There as Well
Snap Back to Reality, Oh, There Goes Gravity
Snap Back to Reality,
Oh – There Goes Gravity
Sometimes Notions Get Reversed
Sometimes notions get reversed,
Center of the universe
The Greatest Minds and All Their Power
A messed up garden to inspire
The greatest minds and all their power
The Horizon Has Been Defeated by the Pirates of the New Age
The horizon has been defeated
by the pirates of the new age
The Trees Would Be Falling
The World Went Round
We’d better think about
the games we play
The world went round,
around and round
The World’s Still Spinning ’Round We Don’t Know Why
The world’s still spinning ’round
we don’t know why
There’s Someone in My Head but It’s Not Me
You make the change
You rearrange me till I’m sane
You lock the door and throw away the key
And there’s someone in my head
but it’s not me
These Secret Garden Beams Changed My Life, So It Seems
These secret garden beams
changed my life, so it seems
Think About the Place Where You Live
This Ground Is Not the Rock I Thought It To Be
We Are a Rock Revolving Around a Golden Sun
We are a rock revolving
around a golden sun
We Are on a Rock, Spinnin’ Silently
We are on a rock,
spinnin’ silently
We Are Turning with the Earth So Fast
We’ll Begin with a Spin
We’ll begin with a spin –
Traveling in the world of my creation
When the Ocean Met the Sky
Will you tell me what you saw
and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
Why Are We Still Here?
But I don’t think it’s coincidence
And I don’t believe in accidents
It’s time to ask ourselves
Why are we still here?
Wonder Why You Haven’t Before…
You’re Just Living Out Life on a Big Blue Ball
You’re just living out life
On a big blue ball
You’re Tellin’ Me the World Does Not Even Spin Around?
You’re tellin’ me the world
does not even spin around?
You’re tryna say the car we’re sittin’ in
don’t belong to gravity?
Your World Just Spins Whilst Mine Stands Still
Your world just spins
whilst mine stands still –
Nothing’s changed in your
gravity grave
