Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh-ah
Mmm
[Verse 2]
(Hold me, baby)
The Earth can be any shape you want it
(Darlin', believe me)
Any shape at all
(Honey, hold me)
Dark and cold or bright and warm
(Baby, love me)
Long or thin or small
(Darlin', believe me)
But it's home
(Honey, hold me) (Hold me, baby)
And all I ever had
(Baby, love me) (Ooh)
And maybe why, for me
(Darlin', believe me)
The Earth is flat
(Honey)
[Verse 3]
Friends have often asked me why
I'm sensitive about my height
I will look around and say
"Mmm, I thought I was immune"
[Verse 4]
All my life I have waited
To be given any word
It was screaming to be heard
(Please, please, please remember) (Hold me)
[Verse 5]
(Baby, love me)
The Earth can be any shape you want it
(Darlin', believe me)
Any shape at all
(Honey, hold me) (Please remember)
Dark and cold or bright and warm
(Baby, love me)
Long or thin or small
(Darlin', believe me)
But it's home
(Honey, hold me) (Hold me, baby)
And all I ever had
(Baby, love me) (Ooh) (Please remember)
And maybe why, for me
(Darlin', release me)
The Earth is flat
(Honey)
[Verse 6]
(Turn the island to the storm)
Storm tonight
Ooh, turn it
(Don't)
[Verse 7]
Then when they spill the demon seed
Turn and face into the wind
All along you still believed
Mmm, believed you were immune
[Verse 8]
And if love is all you're missing
Look into your heart
Is anybody home?
(Please, please, please remember) (Hold me)
[Verse 9]
(Baby, love me)
The Earth can be any shape you want it
(Darlin', believe me)
Any in the world
(Honey, hold me) (Believe me, honey) (Please remember)
But don't you point that ray gun at me
(Baby, love me)
I might just explode
(Darlin', believe me)
There are stones
(Honey, hold me) (Hold me, baby)
Mmm, buried in your soul
(Baby, love me) (Ooh) (Please remember)
And only a fool would blame the death of rock 'n' roll
(Darlin', believe me)
Yeah, and in time
(Honey, hold me)
(Baby, love me) (Time, baby) (Baby)
You'll come to understand
(Darlin', believe me) (Ooh) (Please remember)
This flat old Earth is in your gentle hands
(Honey, hold me)
(Baby)
