The Art Of Noise Lyrics - Cee-lo

Hey now here we go let's start the show 

Suppose you know to call me 'Lo 

But you can call me The Soul Machine 

Watch â?? Hey yeah â?? See what I mean? 

Four million flavors of the southern soul flower 

But the power that you get from the heart of a human being 

Only the mind is mechanic the dynamic happens 

When the divine starts to intervene 

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy 

I don't mean to be heavy 

But "Come save me," said this last fiend 

'Cause the beginning and the ending and the misassumption 

Will make 'em move something in between 

[Bridge] 

It's like I'm standing on my tippy-toes to touch a star (a star) 

Trying to catch joy in other's jar 

And yes by far I'm so much further than they are 

Hey 

[Chorus] 

Turn the radio on, let the music play 

If I could I'd dance my life away 

And if you can't seem to find any words to say 

Make a joy-ful noise, fifth around it's another day 

When you see me you would know that you saw me 

Because he always got on his game and his good shoes 

Difficult to stop creating can't wait 

But they came to see God then great tell 'em the good news 

Isn't it ironic how it feels so good? 

But I was only just singing the blues 

I wouldn't open my mouth about it at all 

If I thought that I was only just singing the fool 

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy 

I don't mean to be heavy 

Maybe 'Lo you should lighten up 

I really would if I could 

But I really don't think that anybody shell out enough 

And I really think true wealth is home and happiness and health 

A little cash and you'll need nothing else 

And as far as me being good, I can't help myself 

Hey 

[Chorus] 

So when you really really need you some soul 

I mean dead serious damn near bout to die bout some 

Don't be too proud to turn your radio way up loud 

Close your eyes and have fun 

I used to feel like God was gonna call me too soon 

The reason why I had to have my son 

And every time I've ever opened my mouth and said something 

Bout living was to earn my ones 

Have mercy if I seem to be heavy 

I don't mean to be heavy 

Wait I'm almost done 

And God can truly work a miracle â?? Look at me 

Isn't it obvious that I'm one? 

And I sing because I'm happy 

And I sing because I'm free (I'm free) 

And this my own little thing yes I agree 

But don't you want your kids to grow up to be just like me? 

Hey 

[Chorus]
