Jagger & Jimmy Rip
I saw a glittering dawn, I seen a beautiful morning
Shining on the hill
And I grabbed the cat by the tail, the future with my finger nails
But now I live in fear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unreal
I saw towering spires, I heard beautiful
chimes
I heard them peal
I saw visions of grace, I saw a heavenly place
And it disappeared
Maybe I lied a little bit too much
Maybe I cried a little bit too
much
I saw the future just shatter like glass
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
Nothing is revealed
I was walking on clouds, yeah, and talking so
proud
But I did not hear
Voices singing so loud said you're tumbling
down
To the streets of tears
Maybe I lied a little bit too much
Sometime I cried a little bit too
much
I saw the future just shatter like glass
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unreal - ow, ow
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh) Yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) All right
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
Oh, sometime I lied a little bit too hard
Sometime I cried a little bit too hard
I saw the future just vanish like glass
Yeah, it's all out of focus
It's all, baby, so unclear
It's all out of focus
Nothing is revealed
It's all out of focus (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
It's all so unreal
It's all out of focus
Nothing, nothing is...
It's all hocus pocus (out of focus)
Everybody (...) on down
(It's all out of focus) All, all
All - come on (...)
(It's all out of focus)
TrackTalk
I was going to start (the record) with that!
That
was the other one I almost started off with. Out of Focus is
really
a gospel tune, the lyrics are kind of gospel. Billy Preston plays on it.
