Magic Monkey (Monkey Magic)

Monkey Magic

In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned.

Heaven sought order but the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.

The four worlds formed again and yet again as endless aeons wheeled and passed.

Time and the pure essences of Heaven the moisture of the Earth the powers of the sun and the moon

All worked upon a certain rock, old as creation and it became magically fertile.

That first egg was named "Thought"Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said,

"With our thoughts, we make the world."

Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch from it then came a stone monkey.

The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

Primal chaos ruled the worlds before Monkey.

Monkey was born of time, of Heaven and Earth,

Sun and moon, out of a stone egg He was irrepressible.

The place was like ancient China and the time might have been a thousand years ago.

They fought - and they thought - then, as now Holy Tripitaka prayed.

One disciple, Sandy, is a fish-spirit.

Pigsy, expelled from Heaven for greed, is the spirit of a pig He is changing.

Everything changes There is a horse, once a dragon, now evolving into human form.

Monkey, Horse, Sandy, Pigsy and Tripitaka are all upon a journey as long as life

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods and everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic

What a cocky saucy monkey this one is
All the Gods were angered and they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start of their pilgrimage west
Monkey magic, Monkey magic

With a little bit of monkey magic there'll be fireworks tonight
With a little bit of monkey magic everything will be all right
Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods and everyone and have some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic


Gandhara

A long time ago when men were all babes there was a land of the free
Fantasy and dreams were its untouched wealth and goodness and love were real
Each man desires to reach Gandhara his very own utopia
In the striving, in the seeking soul man can see Gandhara
In Gandhara, Gandhara they say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara the place of light Gandhara

Though long ago and far beyond the winding road always beyond every bend 

A beautiful land still waits for the few who make it to the very end 

Each man desires to reach Gandhara his very own utopia

In the striving, in the seeking soul man can see Gandhara

In Gandhara, Gandhara they say it was in India

Gandhara, Gandhara the place of light Gandhara

Asiatic Fever

Asiatic fever Asiatic fever got the fever The Asiatic fever

Somebody help me I got it bad
It's driving me crazy I'm going mad
I'm turning yellow my hair's turning black
I'm talking funny but it's a real snap
It's the Asiatic fever burnin burnin through
It's the Asiatic fever what can I do

I get a good feeling when my blood start boiling
And when I go crazy I go crazy keep wanting more and more and more and more
It's the Asiatic fever burnin burnin through
It's a lot worse that the Asiatic flu

Can't do a thing about it tell me what can I do
Burning I'm burning with the Asiatic fever
But I guess I like it This Asiatic fever

We're Heading Out West to India

Me and my buddies we're going on a trip
We're a crazy lot but boy ain't we hip
We got the power to beat anyone
We got a dream to give to everyone
Our super magic it will do the trick
It'll be so easy to change them quick
We're in for danger at every corner
But they don't know our super power 
We're heading out west to India there's a sacred treasure we can find
We're heading out west to India we're heading out west to India
And it's a long way there

Thank You, Baby

Till I find my place in the home of the sun I'll just keep movin on
My spirit won't let me rest till then it's a lonely longing
There's miles to go and as many years and I can only rest awhile
But you gave me comfort and consolation and a lasting smile
I got memories thank you, baby
I still love you thank you, baby

You made my life now the way ahead is clear
Till I find my place in the home of the sun
I'll just keep moving on my spirit won't let me rest till then
It's a lonely longing my spirit won't let me rest till then
It's a lonely longing


Steppin' Into Your World

Where is that melody coming from from the depth of the mountain or from a cloud
I can hear the sweet strains of fantasy so vividly rich and free
Let me into that mythical magic world let me laugh and thrill and be a part of you
And no longer will it be of distant China I'll be travelling with you west to India
Stepping into your world I'm stepping right along with you
Stepping into your kind of beat your music's sweet Songoku

Havoc In Heaven

Havoc in Heaven thundering clouds blazing light
Fiery blows shooting left and right
Screams and shouts are echoing
All of Heaven has started shaking
Havoc in Heaven!

Cosmic forces going wild

Pandemonium quite in style
Down on earth they're wondering
Just what in Heaven is happening
Havoc in Heaven!

Thundering clouds blazing light
Fiery blows shooting left and right
Screams and shouts are echoing
All of heaven has started shaking
Havoc in Heaven

Dragons and Demons

What lies in front of me, I don't know what's waiting in hiding, don't wanna know
Ready to eat me and finish me off I shudder to think of their eyes that glow
I'm not a chicken no not me I'm thinking of what's going to happen to me
Should I stay or should I not but I don't wanna hear
What the answer will be but in a trick or two, and my super magic
It'll be easy to change them quick to fight is right, but I'll seem like the devil
Cause that's the best one of all my tricks
Dragons and Demons and all kinds of monsters
Dragons and Demons and all kinds of monsters
My heart is beating faster and faster it's a lovely thought to find them out
But it's the one thing I can do without
Dragons and Demons and all kinds of monster


A Fool!

A fool, I'm a fool falling in love like this 

I shouldn't let myself run away with a dream like this 

It started as a harmless game but I was playing with fire 

And now so hopelessly I can't stop my desire
A fool, I'm a fool because I'm in love with you
How could there be a chance to make this love come through
A fool you are I know that you are I hope that you weren't a fool like you are
Aren't you dumb a fool that you are a fool I'm a fool

I gotta go through that pain of always wanting you near

And wishing you'd give me one look that knows my heart and hears
A fool, I'm a fool falling in love like this

I shouldn't let myself run away with a dream like this 

It started as a harmless game but I was playing with fire 

And now so hopelessly I can't stop my desire

A fool, I'm a fool falling in love like this
I shouldn't let myself run away with a dream like this


Flying

Flying on my cloud to freedom flying till I've left the world behind
The world is getting smaller down below I like the view the further up I go,
Up on my cloud takin' it easy I'm only out for a little fun
Takin' it easy I need a holiday like everyone

Flying on my silvery cloud far above the green and blue
There's a lot of trouble and I see down below
But I think I'll stay for a little while more up on my cloud


Celebration

CELEBRATION, CELEBRATION
CELEBRATION, CELEBRATION

There is magic all around us dreams and fantasy
The world of long ago though far away it may be
We're living and loving this world we're in
We're singing and swinging down that golden road
Our laughter echoing to the Himalayas in the dawn of time
It will be forever told we're celebrating, celebrating
The birth of the Odyssey of things so grand and free
We're celebrating, celebrating the birth of the Odyssey of things so grand and free
