lyrics

Flying carpet
Take me to the proper Bagdad
I get so disoriented sometimes
Take me somewhere
Where I can be somebody new
Somebody you won’t even recognize

And all these crazy people trying to put me in their world
I don’t wanna hear the lies that they’re knowin’
And all along the long way down they’re calling out my name
I ain’t goin’
I ain’t goin’

Cleopatra
Oh my god what’s that you’re
Holding to the breast I’d like to hold to me
Is it so bad?
Or are you just another
Prisoner of the way they say it oughta be

And all these crazy people trying to put me in their world
I don’t wanna see the colors they’re showin’
And all along the long way down I went so nearly blind
I ain’t goin’
I ain’t goin’

Can you see it coming?
With their program for an automatic world
Where everything is easy
But it will hurt you if you don’t believe
And I don’t believe

chorus
