Lyrics

Everywhere

[Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]

How did you know I've been waiting for this time to come?

And though it tastes like forever, it may not stay long

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

[Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird]

A shaman since before my birth

And I came down to rock the Earth

My mission condition:

I give you, you listen

I'm syncing in time in parallel

In binary, no 3rd return

I'm planning intention

With all the redemption

[Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]

How did you know I've been waiting for this time to come?

And though it tastes like forever, it may not stay long

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

[Verse 2: Common]

No pop, no pop, no pop, no pop

We gon'do this thang till the sky just drop

Lock into ya mind away we rock

In a rocket is the 87 astronaut

Top of the soul, dove and I got in a hole

At the moment they were saying, "It was outta control"

Strap in to your mind, why eyes see some recline

You'll see in time your season to shine

When the stadium is dark, emcees are defined

Get ready, on your mark, put your feet on the line

The race is on to space beyond

You gon' get there by doing what you want

Sometimes the most famous feel all alone

So we drift to a place that we call our home

I was known as being spaced and outta my dome

Now I know, it's all I've known

[Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird]

How did you know I've been waiting for this time to come?

And though it tastes like forever, it may not stay long

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer

Everywhere is summer
