Testo Cloud Nine - Marvin Gaye
Testo della canzone Cloud Nine (Marvin Gaye), tratta dall'album The Albums 1960s
The childhood part of my life, it wasn't very pretty
I was born and raised in the slums of the city (yeah, yeah)
It was a one-room shack we slept in, other children beside me
And we hardly had enough food or rooms and sleep (yeah, yeah)
It was a hard time and I needed somethin' to ease my troubled mind
Ooh
My father didn't know the meaning of work
Oh, he disrespected Mama and treated us like dirt (yeah, yeah)
I left home seekin' a job that I never did find (yeah)
Depressed and downhearted, I took to cloud nine (yeah, yeah)
I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine
I'm doin', I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine
Folks now, now tell me
Give yourself a chance and don't let life pass you by
But the world around you is a rat race where only the strong survive
It's a dog-eat-dog world and that ain't no lie
Listen, it ain't even safe no more
To walk the streets at night
I'm doin' fine up here on cloud nine
Let me tell you about cloud nine
(You can be what you wanna be)
Cloud nine
(You ain't got no responsibility)
Every, every man is free, cloud nine
(You're a million miles from reality)
From reality, gotta stay up, up higher, up on cloud nine
I wanna say I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love up here on cloud nine
Ooh, yeah
(Cloud nine)
You're as free as a bird in flight
(Cloud nine)
There's no difference between day and night
(Cloud nine)
It's a world of love and harmony
(Cloud nine)
You're a million miles from reality
From reality, I say up, up higher, up, up higher on cloud nine
You can be what you wanna be
(Cloud nine)
You ain't got no responsibility
(Cloud nine)
Every, every man is free
(Cloud nine)
You're a million miles from reality
(Cloud nine)
Ooh, I'm doing fine, fine, fine up here on cloud nine
