Peter Gabriel
i/o (Bright-Side Mix)
[Verse 1]
I'm just a part of everything
I stand on two legs and I learned to sing
It's not what was said and it's not what I heard
I walk with my dog and I whistle with the bird
[Refrain]
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
[Verse 2]
So we think we really live apart
Because we got two legs, a brain and a heart
We all belong to everything
To the octopus' suckers and the buzzard’s wing
[Refrain]
To the elephant’s trunk and the buzzing bees’ sting
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
I'm just a part of everything
[Chorus]
i/o, i/o, I'm coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o, I'm just a part of everything
[Verse 3]
I learn like a baby, I learn like a seed
Spread out my tubers wherever I need
I find any way to attach and connect
And I run like water, no cause or effect
[Refrain]
I got stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
[Verse 4]
When the panting is over and the warmth has run out
Love will be flowing, I have no doubt
With the vehicle in neutral and the ground to be faced
I’ll be all laid to rest in my proper place
[Refrain]
Into the roots of an old oak tree
Where life can move freely in and out of me
I'll have stuff coming out and stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
[Chorus]
i/o, i/o, I'm coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o, I'm just a part of everything
[Chorus]
i/o, i/o, I'm coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o, I'm just a part of everything
