Superman V Supersoul Lyrics

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise, don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
The mystery and spirit of romance
Butterflies make you sigh
And Kali-Yuga's miles away

Procession gets in line
With words of wedding day rhyme
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away
And the young girl's eyes are miles away
And the dust still lies miles away

Rhada come to it
Brother slide through it
Sister rise, don't you care?
Come on taste the mountain air
Innocence comes to chance
mystery, spirit of romance
It'll make you cry
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust will rise miles away
The young girls sigh miles away
And the dust will rise miles away

Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Blossoms cry to it
Chariots take you there
Climbing through mists like marble white stairs
Milliseconds, take a glance
Catch the mystery dance
Never want to lose this chance
Kali-Yuga's miles away

And the dust still rise
And the worlds will rise

Superman v supersoul
Always in control
Superman v supersoul
In control

Cover art for Superman V Supersoul lyrics by Simple Minds

In 1998, singer Jim Kerr wrote: "People are finding God in different places. Some stare at the sky. Others walk the desert. A friend of mine recently put forward the notion that God has taken to stalking the floors of discotheques!" "The scenario in the song: An individual, closing his eyes after staring long and hard at a beautiful painting of a scene from the "Bhagavad Gita" finds that he is transported body and soul into the painted image - which in fact becomes reality all around him. There suspended in time for what feels like a whole night he finds himself drowning in the sights and sounds of a wedding procession which is taking place in the most heavenly blue moonlit garden."

"All around him the most sensuous music drifts and he listens while watching the screams and laughter of the beautiful young brides who cannot contain themselves as they receive the flirting and teasing attention of an obvious boy prince, who must be no other than Lord Krishna... the sense of joy is palpable as peacocks mesmerize, and it's there and then our character decides that this can only be the one true paradise..."

"Suddenly it's gone, where to!, where from? The man is left staring out the window of his loft apartment at the shimmering lights of the cityscape; and the sprawling chaos of the streets below. He vows on the spot to completely change his way of life; and tears well as he shifts his eyes back to the small calendar painting, given to him free last years, on the street by a "devotee" and now hanging on his kitchen wall."

"Paradise."
