1.Spill The Wine

Lyricist:Sylvester Allen, Harold Brown, Morris Dickerson, Leroy
Jordan, Lee Oscar Levitin, Charles Miller, Howard Scott

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest in a big field of
tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed, I was in a Hollywood movie

And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind, the fact that me
An overfed, long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie
There I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain
kings

I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl
There was long one, tall one, short one, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle came a lady, she whispered in my ear
Something crazy, she said

'Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl'

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips and just before she drank it, she said

'Take your wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Oh, no, oh, no
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Take that pearl'

Yeah, it's all yours
You gotta do it, spill that wine
Spill that wine

Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, take that pearl

I pay my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me, ow
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President, yeah
So I can show you how your money's spent, ooh

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak bright, alright
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I know you're working for the C.I.A.
They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
Crying in the night, teary-eyed

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Wonder when I'll find paradise
Somewhere there's a home, sweet and nice
Wonder if I'll find happiness
Never give it up now I guess

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

Don't you know that it's true
That for me and for you
The world is a ghetto

The world is a ghetto

Take me to your place in space
I'm simply tired of mad rage
On rocket ship no time to wait

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone

I'll take you out to see the place
Where man and moon have a smilin' face, oh yeah
You don't have to wear no fancy lace
Just a funky feel and a lot of taste

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone, it's gone

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone

People movin' to and fro
To a song and a band and a laser show
Superman, Batman, goin' all night
Playin' one on one with a meteor light

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone, it's gone

It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
Gone, it's gone, gone, gone

Ninth dimension, seventh lane
I'll get raised in solar cane
The star patrol said keep it down, keep it down, keep it down
Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down, keep it down


As long as the rule when you stay in town
As long as the rule where you stay around

Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy

Out of sight, it's out of sight
It's out of sight, it's out of sight
It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy

Out of sight, it's out of sight

It's gone in the galaxy
It's gone at the galaxy

At the sight right in front of their eyes
All they could say, truly amazed
Was 'whose Cadillac was that floating by?

They all say
Whose Cadillac is that?
Everywhere we go
Whose Cadillac is that?

Up and down the street
Whose Cadillac is that?
Everyone we meet
Whose Cadillac is that?

Number one from coast to coast
Everybody they all know our name
From the neighborhood to Hollywood
Yeah we're moving in the diamond lane

Low to the ground, heavy with sound
Everything from Blues to Rock
We stop in at Joe's, got some burgers to go
And cruised all around the block

Whose Cadillac is that?
Everywhere we go
Whose Cadillac is that?

Up and down the street
Whose Cadillac is that?
Everyone we meet

A major intersection
Holding steady checking
Traffic moving heavy nine to five
Red light started blinking
We just started singing

As they pulled us over slowly to the side
They told us to freeze and checked our IDs
And we gave 'em all tickets to the show
Then we said our goodbyes exchanging high fives

And everybody wanted to know
Whose Cadillac is that?
Up and down the street
Whose Cadillac is that?

Everyone we meet
Whose Cadillac is that?
We saw them scratching their heads
Whose Cadillac is that?
