Serenity
U.F.O. Lyrics

Baby
Addressing someone with affection

We're not looking for eternity
Not seeking everlasting life or permanence

So smile now
Be happy in this moment

While you're looking for this serenity
Searching for a peaceful state of mind

He dozes out here in doorways
A man sleeps outside in public areas

Caught between wars
Trapped in a situation of conflict

Tells us something is coming
Warns of a future event

Won't reveal more
Doesn't disclose any additional information

She shuffles up close beside him
A woman moves closer to the man

And kisses his ear
She kisses his earlobe affectionately

I guess all our time is running,
Time is fleeting

Running on fear
Driven by anxiety

And it goes around,
Cycles repeat

Round, around again
Repeating in a circular pattern

Like a magic circle
A cyclical and mystical pattern

Till it comes to the end
Until the cycle ends

Out from the marble palaces
Emerging from grand buildings

Kings and queens Will rejoice
Monarchs will celebrate

Their importance of being
Their status and significance

Their importance of choice
Their power to choose

And as they swung Mussolini
Referring to Benito Mussolini

Like a chime in the breeze
Comparing the event to a sound in the wind

The pope blessed his children
The Pope made a religious gesture

In a sea of sleaze
Surrounded by immoral behavior

Solo
Instrumental section

And It still flowers
Continuing growth and beauty

In springtime
During the season of spring

Dogs howl at the moon
Canine creatures howl loudly during the night of a full moon

Now the funeral is leaving
A burial procession is departing

To the general's own tune
The musical accompaniment of a military commander

All the rich and the famous
People who are wealthy and renowned

Don't know who I am
Strangers to the singer's identity and existence

The jokers and the jugglers
Performers known for humor and skill

Even the prince of Siam
Even a person of high status in Thailand

Hey,hey yeah
Exclamations of enthusiasm

Baby
Addressing someone with affection

A little faith or charity
Suggesting generosity and faith in humanity
