Stand Up Comedy
[Intro]
Love love love love love...
Love love love love love...

[Verse 1]
I got to stand up and take a step
You and I have been asleep for hours
I got to stand up
The wire is stretched in between our two towers
Stand up in this dizzy world
Where a lovesick eye can steal the view
I'm gonna fall down if I can't stand up
For your love
(Love love love love love...)

[Verse 2]
Stand up, this is comedy
The DNA lotto may have left you smart
But can I stand up to beauty
Dictator of the heart
I can stand up for hope, faith, love
But while I'm getting over certainty
Stop helping God across the road like a little old lady

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo, oh hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your love
[Post-Chorus]
(Love love love love love...)
(Love love love love love...)

[Verse 3]
I gotta stand up to ego
But my ego's not really the enemy
It's like a small child crossing an eight-lane highway
On a voyage of discovery
Stand up to rock stars
Napoleon is in high heels
Josephine, be careful of small men with big ideas

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo hoo hoo
Ooh hoo hoo, ooh hoo
Out from under your beds
C'mon ye people
Stand up for your love

[Post-Chorus]
(Love love love love love...)
(Love love love love love...)

[Bridge]
God is love
And love is evolution's very best day
[Chorus]
Soul rockin' people moving on
Soul rockin' people on and on
C'mon ye people
We're made of stars
C'mon ye people
Stand up then sit down for your love

[Post-Chorus]
(Love love love love love...)
(Love love love love love...)
Oh (Love love love love love...)
Oh (Love love love love love...)
