Lyrics
Joan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Never taste it
Power generation
You live up your life and it feels like fire, whoa
Suspended in animation
A trick of the light and it drives you higher, whoa oh oh
Blind vision
Blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree
It's just not within the scheme of things
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not withing the scheme of things (live your life)
To give your life so easily (I'll be there)
Easily
Psychic celebration
Look up in the stars and see Venus rising, whoa whoa
Rapture, fascination
You live for the night and your own desire, whoa oh oh
Blind vision
Blind faith
You really can't rely
On what they tell you for effect
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not withing the scheme of things (live your life)
To give your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy
Energy
Blind vision
Blind faith
You really can be sold
If you dare to disagree
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give up your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I do care)
What a waste of time and energy
It's just not within the scheme of things (live your life)
To give your life so easily
That's not the way you're meant to be (I'll be there)
What a waste of time and energy
Energy
Energy
Easy, easy, easy energy
