Across The Universe
David Bowie · Young Americans [1975]
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
CHORUS 1 (twice)
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
CHORUS 1 (twice)
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
CHORUS 1 (thrice)
CHORUS 2 (twice)
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing's gonna
Nothing's gonna to change my world
CHORUS 3
Nothing's gonna change it
Nothing's gonna change it
Hey
CHORUS 3 (twice)
Nothing's gonna change my world
CHORUS 3
Nothing's gonna change my world
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
CHORUS 1 (twice)
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
CHORUS 1 (twice)
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on and on
Across the universe
CHORUS 1 (thrice)
CHORUS 2 (twice)
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing's gonna
Nothing's gonna to change my world
CHORUS 3
Nothing's gonna change it
Nothing's gonna change it
Hey
CHORUS 3 (twice)
Nothing's gonna change my world
CHORUS 3
Nothing's gonna change my world
