IN GOLDEN HANNIBAL CARTHAGE DAYS MARCHIN' ONTO ROME
KNOCKIN' ON THE DOOR AND FINDIN' NOBODY HOME THERE
ROME SHE CUT OUR ARMY DOWN AND LEFT THEM IN THE SNOW
SO NOW I GO TO WHERE I COME FROM
NOW I GO HOME TO THE SUN
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN MY FRIEND
LET THE LADY RIDE ON THRU
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
EGYPTIAN KINGS THEY SING OF GODS AND PYRAMIDS OF STONE
AND THEY LEFT THE DESERTS CLEAN AND THEY LEFT THE DESERTS GOLDEN
AND SHININ' AS A BEACON FOR THOSE THAT NEED A ROAD
INTO THE DAY AND THRU THE NIGHT WE GO AND FIND OUR WAY HOME
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
MY LOVE TO ALL THE PEOPLE I LEAVE BEHIND
SEARCH OUT THE NEW GROUND AROUND YOU
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
YOUR HEAD CAN PULL YOUR BODY AROUND N YOU CAN
LEAVE WHENEVER YOU CAN FIND THE GROUND
TAKE WHAT YOU FIND ON THE LAND
SEA FOAM GLASS IS SAND
IF YOU'VE ONLY LIVED ON EARTH YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE SUN
OR THE PROMISE OF A THOUSAND OTHER SUNS THAT GLOW BEYOND HERE
AND IF YOU CARE TO SEE THE FUTURE LOOK INTO THE EYES OF YOUR
YOUNG DANCING CHILDREN DON'T BE AFRAID OF OUR WAYS
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
WATCH THE LADY RIDE AND SIGH
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
MOSES MOSES THE RED SEA CLOSES
OVER YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT TO
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN
WHEN THE EARTH MOVES AGAIN.
LAW MAN
Law man--I'm afraid you just walked in here at the wrong time
Law man
well I've heard your line
Law breaker you know it could be me
transcribed by Johnny Blasis
(G. Slick)
my old man's gun has never been fired
but there's a first time and this could be
this could be the first time
you know you look to be a lot younger than me and
I'd hate to shoot a baby
you've got a long way to go before you're old and slow
and it could be
it could be a good time if you change your mind
well I'm tired and sweet from making love
and it's just too late
you'll have to wait
bring your business around here in the morning
and you've heard mine
and I'm just too tired to take a side
bring your business around here in the morning
Don't you want to be easy look there
let some of the things you see go on by or
you can burn them into your brain go on home
Don't you see the children, they're just like you
they want everything to be fine but they let it slide
and the laughing lets you know that smiling breaks the rules
and if you had your way we'd all be down
under the face of a clock that's just too old to be wound
and you can see now the old hands won't move around
one way or the other,
fool card brother this could be,
this could be, the first time.
