Chorus:
                Gm A#
What’s it gonna take?
                Gm A#
What’s it gonna take?
                Gm A#
What’s it gonna take
D#  A#    D# A# D# F  D# A#
To free the celestial body?

A#
From way up there it looks so small
Cm
From way down here it looks so small
D#                                         A#
One peculiar organism aren’t we all together?
A#
Everybody steps on ants
Cm
Everybody eats the plants
D#                                           A#
Everybody knows to dance even with just one finger

Chorus

When I took another look
The past was not a history book
That was just some linear perception
Ash to ask and dust to dusk
A dime a dozen, aren't we just?
But a dozen dimes will buy a crust of garlic bread

Chorus

When I say celestial
I mean extraterrestrial
I mean accepting
the alien you've rejected in your own heart
When I say heart, I mean finish
The last one there is a potato knish
Baking too long in the sun of Spud Infinity

When I say infinity, I mean now
Kiss the one you are right now
Kiss your body up and down, other than your elbows
'Cause as for your elbows, they're on their own
Wandering like a rolling stone
Rubbing up against the edges of experience

What's it gonna take?

Chorus
