The Art of Noise

Hey now here we go let's start the show

Those that know me call me 'Lo

But you can call me The Soul Machine

Watch - HEEEEYYYY YYEEAAAA - See what I mean?

Four million flavors of the southern soul flower

But the power that you get from the heart of a human being

Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens

When the divine starts to intervene

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy

I don't mean to be heavy

But come let me say this last thing

Cause the beginning and the ending and the misassumption

Just make the most of it in between

[Bridge]

It's like I'm standing on my tippy-toes to touch a star (a star)

Trying to catch joy in a glass jar

And yes by far I'm so much further than they are

HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY

[Chorus]

Turn the radio on, let the music play

If I could I'd dance my life away

And if you can't seem to find any words to say

Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day

When you see me you would know that you saw me

Because he always got on his game and his good shoes

Difficult to stop creating can't wait

Cause they came to see God, then Green tell 'em the good news

Isn't it ironic how it feels so good?

But I was only just singing the blues

I wouldn't open my mouth about it at all

If I thought that I was only just singing the fool

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy

I don't mean to be heavy

Maybe 'Lo you should lighten up

I really would if I could

But I really don't think that anybody shell out enough

And I really think true wealth is home and happiness and health

A little cash and you'll need nothing else

And as far as me being good, I can't help myself

HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY

[Chorus]

Turn the radio on, let the music play

If I could I'd dance my life away

And if you can't seem to find any words to say

Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day

So when you really really need you some soul

I mean dead serious damn near bout to die bout some

Don't be too proud to turn your radio way up loud

Close your eyes and have fun

I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon

The reason why I had to have my son

And every time I've ever opened my mouth and said something

Bout living was to earn my ones

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy

I don't mean to be heavy

Wait I'm almost done

And God can truly work a miracle - Look at me

Isn't it obvious that I'm one?

And I sing because I'm happy

And I sing because I'm free (I'm free)

And this my own little thing yes I agree

But don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me?

HEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Chorus]

Turn the radio on, let the music play

If I could I'd dance my life away

And if you can't seem to find any words to say

Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day
