Shantytown

Let's go out in the woods tonight,
come on everybody it'll be alright.
everybody's gonna gather round
gonna light the fire when the sun goes down
dancin' circles in the sky
alright
alright
There's people building houses in the trees
If you look closely you will see
people running on the mossy ground
come and live with us in the shantytown
Imagination is all that you need
alright
alright
Drums beat the rhythm of the human race
It's the only reflections of your own face
Now you are ready to come on by
just remember not to ask the question why
as you gaze out into space
Feel the magic of this place
