A Reason to Stay Up All Night

Adam prayed one night, He said, «Lord, I like this place
I like being other than mud and I enjoy having a face
I like the beasts of the land and the fruit of the trees
And though I don’t quite understand, I like the birds and the bees
But I think I’d like, I think I’d like…
If I had someone to talk to
Some home to walk to
Someone to impress and delight
Somebody to tease
Somebody to please
A reason to stay up all night
Yeah, that’s what I’d like, that’s what I’d like…
Galileo prayed one night, he said, «Lord, I like this place
It’s too bad it took being exiled to get me my personal space
I love knowing the spheres of the earth and the moon
Four hundred years before anyone else has a clue
But I think I’d like, I think I’d like…
I prayed one night, I said, «Lord, I like this place
I’m so glad the modern world figured out that people just get in the way
Every day I look older but no one is near enough to know
Though I admit, as the days grow colder my vanity’s the first thing to go
But I think I’d like, I think I’d like…
