David Lee Roth
Variations on a Cloud (Extended Version)
[Verse 1]
Both of us see a cloud or whatever we may believe
Being it may be proud or whatever we want to see
Okay, jump

[Verse 2]
Cirrus in (cumulus) light (dark) you lie (vow)
Give us varying (colorful) shades of grey
Floating inside (outside) the sky
Show us everything (nothing) everyday (in any way)

[Pre-Chorus]
Okay, jump to end it all
Let this one be to break the fall

[Chorus]
It's a little bit of magic to end the world
But I thought you knew me truly
Something different than we started with in the world
Does it even mattеr to me?

[Verse 3]
I was in the hearing
Bumming a humblе clearing from Caligula
In his Shangri-La La La
[Chorus]
It's a little bit of magic to end the world
But I thought you knew me truly
Something different than we started with in the world
Does it even matter to me?

[Post-Chorus]
Miracle worker, I saw you begin it
Walking the water, so soft on the rain
See what you see in the surface, a limit
Ladies and gentlemen, please

[Refrain]
Why don't we keep it coming back
And coming back, and coming back
Why don't we keep it coming back
And coming back, and coming back
(Join if you wish)
Keep it coming back
And coming back, and coming back
Why don't we keep it coming back?
And coming back

[Bridge]
(These days it's hard to find friends but opportunities bend)
We've been to this scene, aboriginal meme
(And we spend the chance sleeping on the top of the fence)
Had a smotherful mother full of meddle and steam
Can't believe what we've seen won't be burned to the ground
Though we make ourselves castles every tide we're around
Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk?
(It's a little bit of magic to end the world)
Do you like how my face has learned to tick like a clock?
(But I thought you knew me, truly)
I have a wonderful life, I know a powerful Bob
(Something different than we started with in the world)
He eulogizes me for being geocentric
(Does it even matter to me? Ha ha ha ha!)
[Refrain]
Keep it coming back
And coming back and coming back
Why don't we keep it coming back
And coming back, and coming back, and coming?

[Verse 4]
I get up and nothing gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You gotta roll with the punches to get to what's real

[Pre-Chorus, Version 2]
Oh, can't you see me standing here?
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Oh, can't you see what I mean?

[Verse 5]
Oh! Hey you! Who said that?
Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know
You won't know until you begin

[Pre-Chorus, Version 2]
So can't you see me standing here?
I've got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen (Imagine there's no heaven)
Oh, can't you see what I mean? (Above us, only sky)
[Chorus, Version 2]
Might as well jump (to end it all)
Go ahead and jump (let this one be to break the fall)
Might as well jump (Jump!)
Go ahead and jump (opportunities bend)
Might as well jump (You may say I'm a dreamer)
Go ahead and jump (But I'm not the only one)
Might as well jump (I hope someday you'll join us)
Go ahead and jump (And the world will live as one/ eulogizes me for being geo-)
