t came from without, it came from within

it came in the night, it came to begin

it came with a beat, it came with some heat

it came in the door, it washed on the shore

and it sounded something like that.

It’s up in the air it’s something i share

It’s here in the room, it’s like your perfume

It's funky at that, it don’t make you fat.

It comes with a kick, It comes at you quick.

        And it sounded something like that

it rolled on in like tidal wave

it was more than a pretty close shave

it spread all around like a wild fire

and came when things were pretty dire

it came anyway and it won't go away

we might even have to try to slay...

it came in and sat and it

 -- sounded something like that.

it wanted to spread like butter on some bread

it mighta been something in my head.

it felt just like a alien invasion

it could just be a deadly contagion

   ---- But it sounded something like that.

It started to move, it fell in groove

it worked its way round, it had a funky sound

it flowed right along, it wants to belong

it moved thru the air, it felt pretty rare

 -- and it sounded something like that.

I looked up and stared, I felt kinda scared

I ran down to see, I felt it could be

It cannot be seen, it cannot be cleaned

it wants to get out, it wanders about  

--  And it sounded something like that

   it rolled on in like tidal wave

   it was more than a pretty close shave

       it spread all around like a wild fire

and came when things were pretty dire

it came anyway and it won't go away

we might even have to try to slay...

it came in and sat and it

-- sounded something like that.

it wanted to spread like butter on some bread

it mighta been something in my head.

it felt just like a alien invasion

it could just be a deadly contagion

    ---- But it sounded something like that.

I don't like to pray, it isn’t my way

I don't like to fight. I do take it light

I think its alright. It's kind of trite

Its only a riddle, You can play it on a fiddle

And it sounds something like that

It's here with us now, It's time for it to bow

it's almost thru, there's nothing to do

it played itself out, i think there's no doubt

it left us alive, we're doing the jive

 -- And sounded something like that.

i hope you don't mind if we led you along 

you may have been right you may have been wrong

we tried to sneak it right through your ears

while playing against some of your fears

Cuz these days are crazed and people are getting sick

if you went out side you were being a ... 

We thought it might be a bit of a joke

Something like taking a toke.

• and it sounded like something like that

we played it out on instruments

it played it self out and now its spent

the answer to what we have prolonged

of course it was this very song.

And it sounded.. Just like that.
