Under my tongue I carry a tune Deep in the earth I can hardly reach My mind is humming and buzzing It's numbing When I can't Get it to you This melody is my carpet ride 'Cross the ocean to you and you Reaching out to you through this tune 'Round the globe just to get it to you We've been singing the same song For over a thousand years His death spoke to me And her birth sang in perfect harmony This melody is my carpet ride 'Cross the ocean to you and you Reaching out to you through this tune 'Round the globe just to get it to you We've been singing the same song For over a thousand years His death spoke to me And her birth sang in perfect harmony My grave will bring me there Deep in the earth Singing that same old melody Before Adam Before Eve The lizard sang this melody Now it's twisted And it's torn By felines and all you bores Pick a pack, the troops, it's time We've got melodies to spin Come on, bring, leaders and men We've got some miracles to spin Ooooooh, ooooooh Ahhhhh, ahhhh Ahhhhh, ahhhh We've been singing the same song For over a thousand years His death spoke to me And her birth sang in perfect harmony My grave will bring me there Deep in the earth you'll find me Singing that same, same, same old melody Same old melody My grave will bring me there Ooooooh, ooooooh Ahhhhh, ahhhh Ahhhhh, ahhhh
