|
As white as lily glimmered she |
|
Like a ships fair ghost upon the sea |
|
Shame on the man who passes by |
|
This fallen angel from the sky |
|
If you realized just who you could be |
|
You gotta tear it up, and give it up and rip it up |
|
I'll show you how life should be |
|
She wipes the tears from her frozen cheek |
|
Getting strong from her broken dreams |
|
Vowed right then she would not cry no more |
|
This goddess rose and dusted down |
|
Cast her shadow on the ground |
|
Took my hand and gently smiled at me |
|
She said let's live it up, I want to start again |
|
Give it up till I get it done |
|
Pick it up come on show me how life should be |
|
Just in the nick of time |
|
I'm gonna throw you a line |
|
To lift you up to where you once belonged |
|
I was blinded by that Mona Lisa smile |
|
How could I let you go and throw it all away? |
|
What became of this desert rose |
|
She grew up strong and so beautiful |
|
A flower blossoms each and every morn |
|
In the finest robes of eiderdown |
|
My sweet lady I will lay you down |
|
These precious times we love for ever more |
|
She said lets tear it up I want to rip it up and give it up |
|
Tear it down don't stop till I get enough |
|
Live it up in this life when it's getting rough |
|
Let's live it up I want to start again |
|
Tear it up till I get it done |
|
Pick it up come on show me how life could be |
|
Come on throw me a line, throw me a line come on and throw me a line |
|
Show me how life could be |
|
[Chorus] |
