People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul (Remix)
James Brown
9:05(Ahh yeah, here we go now...) Midnight's marching on a tangerine tide Got my shoes made of toast and my dreams open wide I caught a train made of jellybeans It hummed like a jazzman in faded jeans The sky wore sunglasses, the moon took a bow And the clouds did the cha-cha on a milky cow Streetlamps blinked with a knowing smile While my shadow danced down the sidewalk tile I said, "Hey life, where you headed tonight?" It said, "Anywhere you glow, I might." (Say what?) Banana Moon Parade! (Banana Moon Parade!) Marchin' through your mind in suede (Oh yeah!) Nothing makes sense, and that's okay We're groovin' to the dreams we mislaid (C'mon now!) Banana Moon Parade! Spin your soul like a vinyl slice (Let it play once, let it play twice) Laugh at the rain in your lemonade (We're all just stars on a shadow parade) I shook hands with a disco cactus It told me truth is always practice A trumpet made of candle wax Blew out thoughts I can't take back Yesterday's socks became today's balloons Floating past regrets and out-of-tune tunes Hope wore heels and a velvet crown She said, "Get up, kid - don't you stay down." Banana Moon Parade! (Banana Moon Parade!) Marchin' through your doubt in shades (Alright!) Nothing's broken that can't be replayed So sing it loud before it fades (Banana!) Banana Moon Parade! [Horn break, slap bass solo, playful synth stabs, crowd claps to rhythm] (Call it out! Call it out!) (Yeah, we see ya...) So if the mirror speaks in rhyme, and your coffee floats in time - don't ask why. Just ride the snake made outta marzipan straight into tomorrow's jam. (You got this.) Banana Moon Parade! (Banana Moon Parade!) Marchin' through the mess we made (Come on, come on!) Truth wears glitter, pain wears lace We're dancin' in our sacred space Banana Moon Parade! (Banana Moon Parade!) Even nonsense needs a stage (That's right!) Take your heart and let it sway You're the star of your own play (Ba-na-na...) (Moon Parade...) (Yeah, yeah, float away...) (Toast shoes, jellybean train...) (We ride again...)
