i/o (In-Side Mix) - Peter Gabriel

So much unfinished business All sticky with desire Raking through the empty shells Of all the rockets we fired Set the navigation For the Earth, all warm and wet And as the longing drops away The compass is reset Oh, there's so much to aim for You can shoot at the sun But all of it just comes and goes There's only so much can be done Time slips in the mirror As an old man, I was born But I've grown to be a baby With a halo and a horn Burn up like a lightning bolt All gone within a flash You look around to find a home Where the asteroid will crush Oh, there's so much to live for So much left to give This edition is limited There's only so much can be done The body stiffens, tires and aches In its wrinkled, blotchy skin With each decade, more camouflage For the wild eyed child within Now close your eyes for a moment Look down and look above All the warmth inside of you Comes from those you love Oh, there's so much to live for So much left to give This edition is limited There's only so much can be done So much to aim for Shooting up at the sun When it all comes and goes There's only so much can be done So much can be done Only so much can be done

The boy with the thorn in his side Behind the hatred, there lies A murderous desire for love How can they look into my eyes And still they don't believe me? How can they hear me say those words Still they don't believe me? And if they don't believe me now Will they ever believe me? And if they don't believe me now Will they ever, they ever believe me? Oh, oh, oh, oh The boy with the thorn in his side Behind the hatred there lies A plundering desire for l-l-love How can they see the love in our eyes And still they don't believe us? And after all this time They don't want to believe us And if they don't believe us now Will they ever believe us? And when you want to live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along, singin' a song Side by side Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load Side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all When they've all had their quarrels and parted We'll be the same as we started Just travelin' along, singin' our song Side by side See that sun in the mornin' Peekin' over the hill I'll bet you sure, it always has And it always will Well, that's how I feel about someone And somebody feels about me We're sure in love with each other And that's the way it's gonna be Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money Maybe we're ragged and funny But we'll travel along, singin' a song Side by side Don't know what's comin' tomorrow Maybe it's trouble and sorrow But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load Side by side Through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we're together It doesn't matter at all When they've all had their quarrels and parted We'll be the same as we started Just travelin' along, singin' our song Side by side
