Love is on the way, all I got to say is
It wont let go
You can pray to early May, fast for 30 days
Still it wont let go, oh
Got a good book and got all in it, tried a little yoga for a minute
But it wont let go, oh
Tried to turn the sauna up to hotter, drunk a whole jar of holy water
But it wont let go, oh

'Worldwide Underground' is a slept on album. The fact that kids are bigging up songs from it today (17 years later!) shows how forward thinking it was. I used to put on the CD (remember those 😂) and leave it, no need to skip any tracks...
