up

[Chicago Democrat]

From Peter Gabrielles "Up"


(Ker plunk sound)

You know the way that things go...
When what you fight for starts to fall...
And in that fuzzy picture
the writing stands out on the wall.
So clearly on the wall

(Crying and wailing sounds)

Send out the signals.... deep and loud

and in this place can you reassure me
with a touch, a smile
while the cradle's burning
all the while the world is turning to noise!
oh the more that its surrounding us
the more that it destroys

Turn up the signal
wipe out the noise

(Crying and wailing sounds)

Send out the signals.... deep and loud

Man, I'm loosing sound and sight
of all those who can tell me wrong from right.
When all things beautiful and bright
sink in the night.

Yet there's still something
in my heart
that can find a way to make a start.

Turn up the signal
wipe out the noise

Wipe out the noise!
Wipe out the noise!

You know.. that's it!
Receive and trasmit...
