Let the lies go
Let
He's everybody's token, on everybody's wall
Blessing all the papers, thanking one and all
Hugging all the babies, kissing all the ladies
Knowing all that you think about from writing on the wall
He's so divine, his soul shines
Breaks the night, sleep tight
His ever loving face smiles on the whole human race
He says: I'm somebody
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart
He says: Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me
He's the savage son of the tv tube
Planets wrote the day was due
All the wisest men around
Predicted that a man was found
Who looked a lot like you and me, yeah
Everyone with sense could see
Nothing left his eye unmoved, he
Had the plan, he had to use
(Somebody) he's so divine (oh, oh) his soul shines
(Somebody) breaks the night, sleep tight
(Somebody up there, somebody)
His ever loving face (oh, oh) smiles on the whole human race
(Somebody somebody somebody up there)
(Somebody)
He's got his eye on your soul, (oh, oh) his hand on your heart
He say: Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody)
Somebody plays my song in tune
Makes me, makes me, makes me stronger for you, babe
Was a way when we were young, that
Any man was judged by what he'd done
But now you pick them on the screen (what they look like)
Where they've been
He's got his eye on your soul, his hand on your heart
He says: (Don't hurry, baby) don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) please, go (oh, oh)
And who are the people
That given time, please go (somebody somebody)
Tell me, can they hold you under their spell (oh, oh)
Can they walk and hold you as well as a
Smile like valentino?
Could he sell you anything?
(Somebody somebody)
Keep your eyes on your soul (oh, oh) keep your hand on your heart
(Don't hurry me baby)
Don't hurry, baby
Somebody up there (somebody) likes me
(Somebody, somebody, somebody)
(Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody)
Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody
Somebody)
Somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody) somebody (somebody
Somebody)
Can't remember (somebody) peace so well
Oh, space to ramble, (somebody, somebody) space to boogie
Soul shine (ooh-ooh)
So divine
Somebody (ooh-ooh, somebody)
Soul shine (ooh-ooh)
So divine
Somebody (ooh-ooh)
Somebody, somebody, somebody
Yeah, get me man, place your man
Get me man, space your man
Get me man, space your man
Soul shine
Soul shine
So devine
So devine
Soul shine
So devine
