Lyrics The Waterboys

The Waterboys

World Party

Well, it's got nothing to do with anything that is real

You just believe in it and it's true

You can sooth like an angel or sigh like a saint

You can dream it and see it through

You will live to see a sea of lights

Sparkling on the face of a pearl

Climb your own peak, find a new streak

Get yourself along to the world

Party, party

Now you've been building for yourself a cool place in the sand

You're thinking that it's mighty fine

You've got dust in your eyeballs, you got mud in your mouth

But it's your head, it ain't mine

I've got a madman of my own to contend with

Cursing in the cave of my skull

Turn the other cheek, find a new streak

Get yourself along to the world

Party, party

Well, I heard a rumor of a golden age

Somewhere back along the line

Maybe I dreamed it in a whisper or heard it in a spell

It was something to do with the sign of the times

And the only thing that I remember

Is a summer like a pretty girl

Who shimmers and shines, moving in time

Shaking to the beat of the heart of the world

Party, party

Party, party, party

Party, party, party

Party, party

Say, into the beat of Lord
