Sting - Rock Steady Lyrics
Saw an ad in the newspaper that caught my eyeI said to my baby this sounds like a ticket for you and iIt said volunteers wanted for a very special tripTo commune with mother nature on a big wooden shipWe took a taxi to the river in case any places were freeThere was an old guy with a beardAnd every kind of creature as far as the eye could seeThis old guy was the boss, he said,i wont tell you no lieBut theres more to this journey that is apparent to the eyeHe said hed heard gods message on the radioIt was going to rain forever and hed told him to goIll protect you all dont worry Ill be a father to you allIll save two of every animal, no matter how smallBut Ill need some assistants to look after the zooI cant see nobody better so youll just have to doI said, just tell me something before its too late and were goneI mean just how safe is this boat well be on?its rock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyIt rained for forty days and forty long nightsId never seen rain like it and it looked like our old friendWas being proved rightWe had no time to worry though there was just to much to doBetween the signified monkey and the kangarooWe had to wash all the animals we had to feed them tooWe were merely human slaves in a big floating zooShe said, hey baby I dont mean to be flipBut it seems this old man is on some power tripI said, no, no sugar you must be wrongI mean look at the size of this boat were on.Were as safe as houses, as safe as mothers milkHes as cool as november and as smooth as china silkHes gods best friend, hes got a seat on the boardAnd life may be tough but were sailing with the lord.Rock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyWoke up this morning and something had changedLike a room in my house had just been rearrangedShe said, its stopped raining and I know the guys kindBut if we stay here much longer Im gonna lose my mind.So we said we had a mission for his favourite doveTo see if there was any mercy from this great God aboveSo to find dry land, away the white bird flewWe didnt need no country just a rock would doWhen the dove came back to us, he threw down a twigIt was manna from heaven and meant we could blow this gigbut the rocks too small, he said, cant you see?I said, its just perfect for her, its perfect for me.Rock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steadyRock steady rock steady
