Funky crime funky crime
Don’t you know funk’s colour’s blind
Well I’ve committed a funky crime
Against a state of mind

Hey you mister interview
I don’t have to answer you
This is what I grew into
Don’t judge me and my soul stew
Funk is my attitude
Funk is my attitude

Funky crime funky crime
Don’t you know funk’s colour’s blind
Well I’ve committed a funky crime
Against a state of mind

Barriers of race
In the media take place
Tellin’ you there is no room
For what you do, don’t budge
There’s no groove to your cold gloom
And who made you the judge
Always room for funky tunes
And yes I funk it up
I funk it up

Funky boy
Meets a funky girl
Make it funky, baby
Cause the funk is crazy

Why do you do what you do
I do what I want to do
Who said you could do what you do
I told you who told me to
I do what I want to do
I do what I want to do

Funky crime funky crime
Don’t you know funk’s colour’s blind
Well I’ve committed a funky crime
Against a state of mind

Funky crime
Funky crime
A funky funky crime
The crime is funky

Say it loud
I’m freaky styley
And I’m proud! (repeat maaaaaany times)

They say in chess you’ve got to kill the queen and then you’ve made it
Oh why - do you?

A funny thing the king who gets himself assasinated
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

You took a town by storm the mess you made was nominated
Oh why - Do you?

Now put away your welcome, soon you’ll find you’ve over stayed it
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune’s faded

The medicated state of mind you’ve found is over rated
Oh why - Do you?

You saw it all come down and now its time to imitate it
Hey now, every time I lose - altitude

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time my fortune’s faded

Come on god, do I seem bullet proof…

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time’s my fortune’s faded

So divine, hell of an elevator, all the while my fortune faded
Never Mind, the consequences of the crime this time’s my fortune’s faded

Shut up!

Well alright
Now dig this

You don’t care for me I don’t care about that
You got a new fool
Ha
I like it like that
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love with your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah

Now listen to this baby
And stop acting so crazy

You say your mom ain’t home
Ain’t my concern
Just don’t play with me
And you won’t get burned
I have only one burning desire
Oh, I’m gonna, me, do it in your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh, funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah

Oh move over over…
And let Mr Huckleberry take over…
You know he’s bad
You know he drowns
You know who he gives it to
Yeah!

That’s right
Now dig this

You try to give me your money
You better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love over your fire

Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh, funky fire…
Let me stand next to your fire

You better slide your ass over, girl
‘Cause I’m coming through once and
I’m coming the way you must be

All you slingers and fiends
Hide behind your rocks
Put down your gloves
I’m not here to box
This is no showdown
So throw down your guns
You see it doesn’t matter
Where you come from
You could be from Park Ave
Or from a park bench
You could be a politician
Or a bitchy princess
But if you’re lookin’ for a fist
And you’re lookin’ to unite
Put your knuckleheads together
Make a fist and fight
Not to your death
And not to your grave
I’m talkin’ bout that freedom
Fight like a brave

Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid

If you’re sick-a-sick n tired
Of being sick and tired
If you’re sick of all the bullshit
And you’re sick of all the lies
It’s better late than never
To set-a-set it straight
You know the lie is dead
So give yourself a break
Get it through your head
And get it off your chest
Get it out your arm
Because it’s time to start fresh
You want to stop dying
The life you could be livin’
I’m here to tell a story
But I’m also here to listen
No I’m not your preacher
And I’m not your physician
I’m just trying to reach you
I’m a rebel with a mission

Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid
Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid

You say you’re running and you’re running
And you’re running afraid
You say you ran across the planet
But you couldn’t get away
The fire in your brain
Was driving you insane
You were looking for a day
In a life that never came
So don’t tell me that
I’ve got to take a number
Cause I’ve been to that doctor
And believe me that’s a bummer
He’s one of a kind
Convention of the mind
And don’t forget to mention
That it doesn’t cost a dime
Come as you like
And leave any time
And one more thing
You know it doesn’t have to rhyme

Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid
Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid
Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid
Fight like a brave - don’t be a slave
No one can tell you you’ve got to be afraid

What ever never knew
That I could feel so good
Smile in your eyes
What ever never knew
That I could walk through wood
I guess I never tried
A million years old
But just a little girl
Vibin’ off the gong
Rubbin’ on the bowls
Make you float around
Make your lovin’ strong

And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to
Fall right into now
To love avow

I’m falling into grace with you
I’m falling into guru muhk
I’m falling into grace with you
I’m falling into guru muhk

She moves in a rapture
That her capsule might
Land on your star
Meditating in the morning
Head dressed in white
Beauty bazaar

You can smell the purple light
Comin’ home her heart
Get lost and wet
I treat you like a teacher
`Cause that’s what you are
I wanna be your pet

And when we get
In the same place
At the same time
It is your grace
That I want to
Fall right into now
To love avow

Life is my friend
Rake it up to take it in
Wrap me in your cinnamon
Especially in Michigan
…well I could be your friend

White clouds I’m in
A mitten full of fisherman
C’mon huckleberry finn
Show me how to make her grin
…well I’m in Michigan

Cry me a future
Where the revelations run amok
Ladies and gentlemen
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck

A rainy Lithuanian
Who’s dancing as an Indian
Painted in my tiger skin
(Especially in Michigan)

Double chins and bowling pins
Unholy presbyterians
Land is full of medicine
I find it when I’m slipping in
…into Michigan

The tainted new librarian
Who fainted when she tucked you in
Let’s float away like zeppelins
(on stoic gusts of northern wind)

Out on the farm we’ll be
Swimming with the mother duck
Deep in the mitten where
Lions and tigers come running
Just to steal your luck

Life is my friend
Underwater violins
Order now from ho chi min
A porcelain that comes in twins
…when I’m in Michigan

Throw me in the looney bin
Cause I can take it on the chin
The cleavage of your pillow skin
(Is moving like a violin)

In the name of it’s for you I
Bought it all and it’s all untrue I
Know, i’m a little slow
Desparate and it shows

In the name of spending street
Burning bush and a busted knee you
Stole, all the rain and snow

Who will be my Eskimo
It’s what I wanna know
It’s time to under go
Somewhere in Mexico
I’m making room for you
A Simple Point of view
Someone too deeper to

Aw
Searching for an eskimo
Searching and I wanna know, someone, like you
What did they say
Desperate and I gotta go
Searching for an eskimo, someone, like you

In the name of Jesus Christ I
Sold my son and I named my price I
Sold, just a little love

Who will be my eskimo
That’s what I wanna know
Before I under go
Somewhere in Mexico
I making room for you
A Simple point of view
Someone too deeper to

Ooooooh aw
Searching for an eskimo
Searching and I wanna know, someone, like you
Hey hey hey
Desperate and I gotta go
Searching for an eskimo, someone, like you

In the name of Oscar Wilde I
Saw the mess and I saw he smiled I
Go, toe to toe in the whole, world to find and eskimo
