I went walking down the Boulevard
Past the skateboards and the beggars
I was out looking in the windows
Just out walking, letting my mind roam
If she hung around too much I might take her for granted
But when I was away, she seemed an angel
The only one who really cared about me
The only one without an angle
For so long I've been lonely
Now I'm too weak to fight
I've been waiting for tonight
I've been waiting for tonight
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)
Yes and I had a little time to kill
As I crossed the parking lot
And I was feeling lucky to have a place to go
Yeah my nerves were feeling shot
For so long I've been weary
There was no end in sight
I've been waiting for tonight
I've been waiting for tonight
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)
Oh I've been waiting 'round
For a night like this
Yeah I felt it coming down
Since her first kiss
(Good night my love)
Yeah and I'm wrestling with my overcoat
Yeah I'm fighting with my thoughts
I'm gonna trust my intuition
I'm gonna hope I don't get lost
For some time I've been lonely
I've been too weak to fight
I've been waiting for tonight
I've been waiting for tonight
(Good night my love, sleep tight my love)BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH (2x)(CHORUS 2x)
the basic instructions before leaving earth
life is a test may we quest the universeand through my research, i felt the joy and the hurt
the first shall be last and the last shall be first
knowledge is wisdom, this goes back when i was twelve
i love doing right but i was trapped in hellhad bad ideas, sad eyes and tears
years of fear, but yo my foes couldn't beari searched for the truces in youth
and with the church's birthbut it wasn's worth the loot, that i was paying
plus the prayingi didn't like stayingcause of bizzie-bodiesand dizzy-oddies
that the preach-ass souped up the lies
had couped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
and after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
buti ignored, and explored my history that was untold
and watched mysteries unfoldand dropped the jewel like soloman
but never followed mencause if you do your brain is more hollow then
space oblivia, or the abysswith no trace of trivia, left with a hiss
doesn't pay to be deaf dumb or blindfrom a slave he was kept from the mind
and from a cave he crept from behinda what he gave was a sack of the swine
when the bible, that condemned the pig
i don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigsbut we used to wear turbins
but now were in the urbanno more wearing beniesor dress like the genie
no hokus pokus cause i focus on the facts
and put it on the track or put it through the wax
i speak on jacob it might take up some time
and too much knowledge it might break up the ryhme
i did it anyway just to wake up the mind
of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
those who sit at home, or sell books by the market
need to chill and get their mind revived
for years religion did nothing but dividechorus
i strolled through the books of joah the unfold
and opened bibles instead of hoping on revivals
