Up Above My Head

1. This ole world is cavalcading escalading, towing down; Falling down into the premises of unusualness; Solid confines to the missions hell bent; Loss in its shame, borrowing time; Everyone everywhere is swallowing sin; While the naysayers keep welcoming them in.. Chorus: Spinning, and turning and whirling of things; Tell me God what does it bring; All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; Up above my head; 2. Image now, how would it be, could you be free; Left alone drinking miscalculated teas; Raisin cane and eat manna breeze from the trees; What does it mean is it a dream? And all these things again, mention above; Where is t he love?, what? where is the love? Chorus: Spinning, and turning and whirling of things; Tell me God what does it bring? All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; Up above my head; 3. Missing mountains and trail condescending; No one is gathering everyone meandering; What must I do to love and embrace you; Shovel in my hand standing in the sand; Feeling the heartbreak of mankind demeanor; Leaving hatred in a container of oven cleaner; Chorus: Spinning, and turning and whirling of things; Tell me God what does it bring? All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; Up above my head; And all these things again, mention above; Up, up above my head, up above my head; I'd rather be living than dying dead; Heaven is where I want to lay my head; All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; 4. I'd rather be living than dying dead; Heaven is where I want to lay my head; Mysteries and non compliances and misguided judgements; All but a dream, every hates no love in their hearts see what I mean; I have a motion that we won't judge them; Chorus: Spinning, and turning and whirling of things; Tell me God what does it bring? All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; Up above my head; And all these things again, mention above; Up, up above my head, up above my head; I'd rather be living than dying dead; Heaven is where I want to lay my head; All these things I've mentions above; Up, up above my head; Written word by James Edward Lee 1974 Arranged music by James Edward Lee & The Corinthian From demo album "The World May End Tomorrow" 1970,1974,2017 (c)
