Iron Butterfly : Ball
Lyrics
1. IN THE TIME OF OUR LIVES
Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
Yes, to us,
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real!
2. SOUL EXPERIENCE
Be yourself and live a little,
Don't bother painting your face;
Tomorrow it may rain and colors run,
Better it quench the flowers thirst.
Don't be afraid to live a little,
Don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.
Open up your thoughts and listen to others,
Your fellow man may surprise you;
He offers a unique item,
Soul experience, help yourselves to each other.
Don't be afraid to live a little,
Don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love,
Oh our love.
Just be yourself.
Just be yourself.
Oh our love, oh our love.
3. LONELY BOY
[Dedicated to Duneya West]
I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.
Yes, I'm such a lonely boy when I'm not in your arms.
The only time I hear your voice is on the line,
And then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."
But you know that I'm not!
The only time I hear your voice is on the line,
And then you say, "I hope you're feeling fine baby."
But you know that I'm not!
And that's why.
4. REAL FRIGHT
Real fright's the story of a maddening darkness,
It leaves your hands and your face real tight,
Your mind starts to wander while your body starts shaking,
Your mouth feels dry as your bones start aching.
You want to know the pattern thas has gripped your life,
Your heart starts pounding while you're breathing real fright,
A face chalk white that starts the sight,
Ears hear the sounds of real fright.
5. IN THE CROWDS
I look for the sun
In dire need of someone, somewhere,
I look for the sun
In dire need of someone, somewhere.
Words lost in the past
Of memories that will never last.
My mind wanders the crowds in a search,
In the search of the one that I feel is my life,
It the crowds.
For me this is the end. (7x)
6. IT MUST BE LOVE
Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.
I think I might have found something,
And I think it might be my love.
Yes, I think I came across something,
And I think she might be my love.
Oh, ---- oh, ---- oh, ----
Yes, it must be love.
I've found out its worth, It must be love,
'Cause nothing on earth could be so fine;
I'm making you mine.
I think I might have found something,
And I think she might be my love.
Yes, I think I came across something,
And I think she might be my love.
'Cause nothing on earth could be so fine.
Oh, ---- oh, ---- oh, ----
Yes, it must be love.
I've found out its worth, It must be love,
'Cause nothing on earth could be so fine;
I'm making you mine.
Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.
Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.
Ah, nothing on earth could be so fine.
7. HER FAVORITE STYLE
Exciting were her eyes
And refreshing was her smile.
So loving was her attitude she maintained all the while.
She reaped in her softness which created a gentle mood.
And if I ever felt hunger, she would hand me a bit of food.
Ah true, she was exciting,
Refreshing and loving
And still found a way in which she maintained all the while;
That was her faith,
That was her favorite style,
That was her favorite style.
8. FILLED WITH FEAR
Know that the end of my mind is so near,
My mind is just churning and burning with fear.
Why did I in-a-vite it here?
God, why did I in-a-vite it here?
Why did I in-a-vite it here?
God, why did I in-a-vite it here?
9. BELDA-BEAST
Size is decreasing
Under transparent purple skies;
The life you've chased seen thru my eyes
Was distorted, filled with lies.
Your hopes are bouncing in front of your eyes
As you jump to catch them floating so high,
Bye, bye,
A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height
Threatening destruction in a way that we know too well
Sitting on the limb of love with my friends
Sitting here all alone.
Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,
Bye, bye,
A top comes a-spinning into your life
And you've reached a height
Life without malice can you call this bluff
And say without knowing it's hard enough,
Bye, bye,
Bye, bye.
Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away,
And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today,
And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away.
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
How you doing people that passed on yesterday?
Did you meet with justice on your judgement day?
These are the things that we hear in our world,
And these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives,
In the time of our lives.
And to us they are real,
And for us they're ideal.
Yes, to us,
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real.
Without a doubt they're real!
