Joy
Joy!
you gotta give me joy!
music's comin'...
come and listen to the sound of joy!
joy!
you gotta give me joy!
satisfaction...
come and listen to the sound of joy!Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
'Would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition'
Pitiful Joy
She looked away
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question
No hope for Joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay
'I've been believing in nothing since I was born, it never was a question.'She hides her sadness
In the liquids that she drinks
Consuming everything in her reach
She hides her morals
Behind a wall of bloodshot eyes
Leaving reason as a faint and vague idea
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her world
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her world
And all her friends
That used to hang around her house
Are gone along with her self-respect
Her mind was shattered
By the coincidence of life
And she's now beyond redemption in the dark
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her world
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her world
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her world
She feels no joy
From the bottom of her well
She sees no light
In every corner of her worldJoy
Joy, zo bedwelmend mooi
Joy, een meisje sterft in jou
Joy, in jou bloeit een vrouw
Joy weet verduiveld goed
Hoe ze verleiden moet
?n Mooie, kleine meid
Gooit zich in de strijd
Schudt me door elkaar
Met een klein gebaar
Refrein (a):
Met haar veertien jaar
Alles lacht aan haar
Zij ontwapent mij
Loopt dan vlug voorbij
Joy voelt zich soms zo rot
Joy houdt haar hart op slot
Joy, zij wil liever dood
En Joy, haar verdriet zo groot
Kruipt op moeders schoot
Refrein (b):
Mooie, kleine meid
Gooi je in de strijd
Schud me door elkaar
Met een klein gebaar
Refrein (a)
Joy
Zo bedwelmend mooi
Joy weet verduiveld goed
Hoe ze verleiden moet
Refrein (b-a)Yeah, I poisoned myself but I survived the thrill of life
I altered my state of mind so I could fly, mmm
Yeah, travelled beyond my pedestrian ties
My innocence, yeah, and those sweet lies
I rode in that car as far as it would take me, take me
I don't need no gun
I walk into the sun
Find what's going on
Find what's going down
I don't need no gun
I walk into your fun
Fun into the sun
Find what's going on
Your velvet tear rolled down my back
Your arms wrapped tight around me
I felt so good knowing that you could let go with me, yeah
I don't need no gun
I walk into your sun
Find what's going on
Find what's going down
I don't need no gun
I walk into your fun
I don't need the sun
To find what's going on
Crazy hippie girl
Soft lips make me swirl
More than I can feel
Mystery to me
Yeah-hey-yeah
Joy d'vivre, yeah
Mysterious life, what do you hold for us in your cloak?
I begin to shake, your horses, they are frightening me, well
I don't need no gun
I walk into your sun
Find what's going on
Find what's going down
I don't need no gun
I walk into your fun
I don't need the sun
To find what's going on
Crazy hippie girl
Soft lips make me swirl
More than I can feel
A mystery to me
Had my child son
I'm a young king now
Hey mysterious life
Holy criticised
Yeah-hey-yeah
Yeah-hey-yeah
Joy d'vivre...Listen to the music
The sound of the angels
Come and see the child
Who can make you whole
Lying in a manger
Away from harm and danger
Chorus:
Oh joy in my soul
Oh joy, joy down in my soul
Sweet beautiful soul saving joy
Oh joy, joy, joy in my soul
Joy, joy, joy in my soul oh
He sent from up above
This special gift of love
More precious than silver or gold
He was sent this holiday
To take our pain away
Repeat Chorus
Go tell it on the mountain
Shout it from a valley
Tell about the baby in swaddling clothes
Men in every nation
Join the celebration
Way down deep joy
Joy, joy, joy
I've got joy
Way down deep inside my soul joy
Unspeakable joy
Joy in my soulne-two, one-two, one
One-two, one-two

Chorus
I get joy, joy thinking about
What He's done for me
I get joy, joy thinking about
What He's done for me
It's in my hands, my feet
I'm talking about
What He's done for me
I get joy just thinking about
What He's done for me
Oh how I wonder when my soul looks black
How I ever made it through my sinful, wicked past
I did everything that I though I wanted till it brought me down
Then God reached out to me
So I'm here to tell you now
I get joy
Chorus
I've seen the bottom of the mountain
I've had my share of pain
I've been through so many struggles
I thought I'd never breathe again
So I prayed that God would help me
I couldn't handle it no more
Then He lifted every burden
And that's why I get joy yeah
Chorus
Chorus in background
Chorus Twice
