From the album Shadowland: Music For Pilobolus

"I WANTED YOU TO KNOW A WONDERFUL THING
A WONDERFUL THING."

TELL A JOKE AND YOU DRINK FOR FREE
PUT THE WORD TO THE MELODY
YOU'RE SO GOOD BUT YOU WANT TO BE BAD
NEVER GOING TO BE NEW AGAIN

THERE'S A PRETTY BLUE SKY SOMEWHERE
HIGHWAY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD
TOUCH A STAR AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET BURNED
ROCK & ROLL NEVER LEARNS

IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

ROCK & ROLL NEVER LEARNS
JET LAG IS FOR THE AMATEUR
YOU'RE SO GOOD BUT YOU WANT TO BE BAD
NEVER GOING TO BE NEW AGAIN

THERE'S A PRETTY BLUE SKY SOMEWHERE
HIGHWAY TO THE REST OF THE WORLD
TOUCH A STAR AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET BURNED
ROCK & ROLL NEVER LEARNS

IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT


SMART GIRL
YOU ALWAYS WERE A SMART GIRL
WITH A STUPID BOY
SMART GIRL
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY

IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT
IT GIVES YOU JOY
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

IT GIVES YOU JOY
IT GIVES YOU JOY
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT

IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
IF IT GIVES YOU JOY
