Put the pedal to the metal / my fine little kettle / fill your head full of steam / as you start to dream / just inhale the stars / as you bail to Mars / put the pedal to the metal again / sing it low sing it sweet / as you walk the street / leave a space in your heart / for a brand new dart / start to wake up and play / every brand new day / sing it low sing it over again / first we go down to the face of the mountain / then we get up on a separate stone / and we look down on a city of forest / cooking and dancing at home / tell the ghetto not to settle / my fine little kettle / take the cars from the streets / turn them into beats / take the planes from the sky / make them weep and cry / tell the ghetto not to settle again / take a fire-red petal / my fine little kettle / may the language that I use / make you sail and cruise / may the tales that I bring / make you laugh and sing / take a fire-red petal again / first we go down to the face of the mountain / then we get up on a separate stone / and we look down on a city of forest / cooking and dancing at home.

Look at you now with your boots / and your yellow dress on / I could get up and dance until the dawn / all of my life I’ve been waiting for something to shine / heaven you know / I won’t let go this time / haven’t you heard the bird’s not scared to sing / and I would give all that I have just to wear that ring / given the word the bird still dares to dream / and I would give all that I have just to wear that ring / look at the way that you glow / when you walk in the room / suddenly every rose begins to bloom / all of this time I’ve been waiting for something to show / heaven it seems / got lost so long ago / haven’t you heard the bird’s not scared to sing / and I would give all that I have just to wear that ring / given the word the bird still dares to dream / and I would give all that I have just to wear that ring / lying around with my ear to the ground / by and by I figured it out / all of the action was passing me by without doubt / something was missing / it just started pissing me off / so I started to sing / and I would give all that I have just to wear that ring / I would give all that I have just to wear that ring.

Amy / girl / now don’t be late for school / maybe I can teach you something new / continents and galaxies / I’ll try to do my best / you should be there right among the rest / ask me any question that you please / Lord knows that I’ll answer some with ease / other ones might take some time / I’ll have to take a look / see if I can find them in a book / Amy there are mysteries / that I don’t even know / like why there’s black and white / and high and low / and how someone could leave a girl / who giggles every time I catch her eye / you wonder why / Amy let’s go out and take the boys / I’ll be on the girls’ side again / Rafael and Mario are gonna cry and yelp / that’s all right / the boys don’t need my help / this time kick it over by the fence / make sure that your foot’s on second base / give me just one little bounce / I’ll lift it to the sky / you run home and I’ll come right behind / Amy there are mysteries / that I don’t even know / like why there’s day and night / and fast and slow / and how someone could leave a girl / who won’t give up or settle for a tie / you wonder why / you wonder why.

Helicopters in the morning / up above the banyan tree / why do they never give a warning / before they come for you and me / trouble overhead / why Lord should it be / why Lord must we suffer / before we ever get to see / trouble overhead / they didn’t teach us right in grade school / they went and made a golden rule / that none of them would ever follow / looks like they found someone to fool / trouble overhead / why Lord should it be / why Lord must we suffer / before we ever get to see / trouble overhead / now which one is the mad man / and which one is the priest / you can’t separate the sad man / from the rapture of the beast / trouble overhead / trouble overhead / trouble overhead.
