The Flower Kings

Genie In A Bottle

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker

just dying now to meet "his maker"

don't give it up – don't give it up

don't lay down 'til you reach the top

"where's my connection, where's my protection

where in the world is there a doorway out?

look to the left, look to the right

I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"

Hush little baby don't you cry

your maker is gonna take you higher

"we'll shut it off, we'll close it down

we'll make you fly so high above the ground"

In a perfect world

there'll be another you and I

In a perfect world

we'd spread our wings and fly

In a perfect dream

you'll be the one to trust

Like a perfect horse

I'll rise up from the dust

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker

just dying now to meet his maker

"don't give it up – don't give it up

don't lay down 'til you reach the top"

"where's my connection,where's my protection

where in the world is there a doorway out

look to the left, look to the right

I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"

Morning found them asleep in the park

lost in the mindfields of the darkest

water, chrystaline cover the skin

the stoner the loner the child within

Bent and broken against the wall

now they can't tell when the snow will fall

It's Christmas time in the Underworld

but still no room for all the unheard

Fuel injected now standing tall

Ten white horses at the door

take us down for another ride

put me asleep on the other side

Frozen images driftin away

winter heart set his dreams to play

Maybe the river will carry you home

home to the place where you're no more alone

"All I need is another dream

All I need is some self esteem

Can you take me, can you take me this time?"

He's shaking like a Cuban shaker

just dying now to meet his maker

don't give it up – don't give it up

don't lay down 'til you reach the top

"where's my connection, where's my protection

where in the world is there a doorway out

look to the left, look to the right

I'm looking for a genie in a bottle!!"
