[Verse]
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
Thumbed his nose at gravity
And climbed into the heavens
When he returned to earth that night everything changed
For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged
[Verse]
Weâre a pretty mixed up bunch
Of crazy human beings
Itâs written on our rocket ships
And in early cave wall scenes
How does it happen?
How do we know?
Who sits and watches?
Who does the show?
[Chorus]
Some people love to lead
And some refuse to dance
Some play it safely, otherâs take a chance
Still itâs all a mystery
This place we call the world
Where most live as oysters
While some become pearls
[Verse]
Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi
Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies.
Itâs something more than DNA that tells us who we are
Itâs method and itâs magic, we are of the stars
[Chorus]
Some never fade away,
some crash and burn
Some make the world go round, other watch it turn
Still itâs all a mystery
This place we call the world
Most are fine as oysters
While some become pearls
Lindbergh left Long Island in 19-2-7
