Lyrics

When it's cold, it comes slow
When it's warm, just watch it grow
All around me
It is here, it is now
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down
Like the supper, it is cooking in your home town
It is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs
It is walking on the moon, leaving your cocoon
It is the jigsaw, it is purple haze
It never stays in one place, but it's not a passing faze
It is in the single's bar, in a distance of the face
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space
It is here, it is now
Any rock can be made to roll
If you've enough of it to pay the toll
It has no home in words or gold
Not even in your favourite hole
It is hope for the dope
That rides a horse without a hoof
It is shaken not stirred,
Cocktails on the roof
Wehn you eat right thru' it, you see everything alive
It is inside the spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think it's pretentious, you've been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror sonny, before you choose decide
It is here, it is now
It is Real. It is Rael
'Cos it's only knock and know-all, but I like it
Yes it's only knock and know all, but I like it
[repeat several times and then fade out]

Pinyin

When it' s cold, it comes slow
When it' s warm, just watch it grow
All around me
It is here, it is now
Just a little bit of it can bring you up or down
Like the supper, it is cooking in your home town
It is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs
It is walking on the moon, leaving your cocoon
It is the jigsaw, it is purple haze
It never stays in one place, but it' s not a passing faze
It is in the single' s bar, in a distance of the face
It is in between the cages, it is always in a space
It is here, it is now
Any rock can be made to roll
If you' ve enough of it to pay the toll
It has no home in words or gold
Not even in your favourite hole
It is hope for the dope
That rides a horse without a hoof
It is shaken not stirred,
Cocktails on the roof
Wehn you eat right thru' it, you see everything alive
It is inside the spirit, with enough grit to survive
If you think it' s pretentious, you' ve been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror sonny, before you choose decide
It is here, it is now
It is Real.  It is Rael
' Cos it' s only knock and knowall, but I like it
Yes it' s only knock and know all, but I like it
