1
Up there there's a ball of fire
2
Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun
3
Its energies are not for hire
4
It serves man, it serves everyone
5
Down there where Jonah wails
6
In the healin' water, in the ready depths
7
Twistin' like silver swans
8
No line of death, no boundaries
9
Up there the eye is hollow
10
The eye is winkin', the winds ablaze
11
Angels howlin', the Sphinx awakens
12
But what can she say, you'd be amazed
13
Down there your, days are numbers
14
You're no numbers, nothin' to fear
15
There will be trumpets, there will be silence
16
In the end it'll here just here
17
Ahh, the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight
18
The abstract streets, the lights like some switched on Mondrian
19
Cats like us are obsolete, hey man, don't breathe on my feet
20
Thieves, poets we're inside out and everybody's a soldier
21
Angels howl at those abstract lights
22
And the borders of heaven are zipped up tight tonight
23
Up there there's a ball of fire
24
Some call it the spirit, some call it the sun
25
Its energies are not for hire
26
It serves man, it serves everyone
27
The air we breathe, the flame of wisdom
28
The earth we grind, the beckonin' sea
29
No mystery, not sentimental
30
Ahh, the equation, it's all elemental
31
The world is restless, Heaven in flux ,angels appear
32
From the bright storm out of the shadows
33
Up there, down there but what can we say
34
Man's been forewarned
35
All communion is not holy, even those that fall
36
Well, they can prophet understandin'
37
It's all for man, it's for everyone
38
It's up there, down there, everywhere, everywhere
39
Time for communion, time for communion
40
Oh, and it's up there, out there, in there
41
Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
