Precious
well i passed you by this morning
you were stumblin' down the street
and by the look upon your face
i could tell you wasn't feeling to sweet
you dropped down to the bottom
that's what you gone and did
livin' in a bad dream finally flipped your lid
well - superman i've got news for you
and everybody else that's listenin' too
there's a new way out if yer ready to hear
we're gonna make it clear
what you need is revival!
Revival!look at that girl
she's the saddest thing you've ever seen
washed up and faded like a dirty old pair of jeans
she's running round in circles
but she don't have a single friend
looks like her own bitterness
has twisted her till the end
well - mona lisa look me in the eye
and tell me when you're gonna get satisfied
i'm gonna spell it out right in front of you
this is what you have to do
get ready for revival
r.e.v.i.v.a.l.it's gonna lift you right up from your prison cell
play it out like like a ringing bell
you go r.e.v.i.v.a.l.
