Oily Way

Now you're here and now you're Gong

Now you're back where you belong

Meet the wizard of the keys

And he'll reveal the mysteries



Of Angels' Eggs and Octave Doctors

Radio Gnome and Love Projectors

Then he'll point up in the sky

You will see the Teapots flying

Down the Oily Way...



Down the Oily Way you slide

Through the inner space you ride

Lots and lots of Pot-Head Pixies

Ridin' round in Teapot Taxies



On the Planet Gong they say

If everything goes wrong today

Fill your Teapot up with tea

Come and take a ride with me

Down the oily way...



Oily Way

Oily Way - it's not the milky way

Oily Way - it's not the only way

Oily Way - it's not the English way



Stop !

Wait !

Hey !

Look !



High in the sky, the world you remember

Scenes that we dreamed of

Time for the end of

Hate !

War !

Death !



You big daddy in your big sick city

Gotta choose to loose your games now



Now you're here and now you're Gong

But this ain't me that sings this song

For we the Gong Band it's enough

To be the instruments of love



On which the Octave Doctors play

That we be one and all as one with Gong

On earth and find again

The joys of going around the bend

Down the oily way



Oily Way

Oily Way - not the only way

Oily Way - it's not the only way

Oily Way - it's not the English way
