lyrics

Long time ago when we were young
And knew the universe was one
Beneath the moon and stars and sun
We always stuck together babe
Whatever kind of weather babe
We went on forever babe

And all the subways in your mind
Lead us to a certain space in time
And when we get there you will find
It's nothing like a thing you read
It ain't like the Bible said
The revolution's in your head

Baby you're saved

And everything we took as true
Was just another point of view
And life is round and earth is blue
Pleasure's pain and dark is light
Loss is gain and black is white
And everything's gonna be alright

But all you wanna do round here
Is stuff your face and spill your beer
Hit Grand Parade and score your gear
And pray you're dead within a year

Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved
Twisted and crazed
Spun out and dazed
Badly behaved
Vile and depraved
But no longer enslaved
To the things that you crave
Out your head in a cave
Or dead at a rave
Or riding the crest
Of your own little wave
With no need to shave
To wash or to bathe
Cause you call yourself Dave
And you live like a brave
With all the things we forget
And the things we forgave
And the trails that we blazed
On the way to the grave
Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved
