Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight There's a part of me in chaos that's quiet And there's a part of you that wants me to riot Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot How can you stand next to the truth and not see it? Oh, change of heart comes slow It's not a hill, it's a mountain As you start out the climb Do you believe me or are you doubting? We're gonna make it all the way to the light But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight Every generation gets a chance to change the world Pity the nation that won't listen to you boys and girls Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard? Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear? The right to be ridiculous is something I hold dear Oh, but change of heart comes slow It's not a hill, it's a mountain As you start out the climb You see, for me, I've been shouting But we're gonna make it all the way to the light But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone Ha, ha, ha Oh, it's not a hill it's a mountain As you start out the climb You see, for me, I've been shouting Let's shout into the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light You know we're gonna go crazy, you know we'll go crazy You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight Oh, slowly Oh, hold me slow
