From The Sun To The World (Boogie No. 1)

(album: Electric Light Orchestra II - 1972)

Listen to me, sister, I got news from the governor
And he's heard people shouting from the towers in the city
While their babies grow in test tubes over night

Run and fetch the priest, 'cause there's a light on in the building
And there's sounds blowing out in the music of the night
And we should try to get the people out alive

Moving 'cross the ocean with the flag of death a-flying
And the demon butcher pointing out the message on the tide
And the demon light a-sailing by his side

Storming down the airwaves comes the protest and the praying
And the love that shone down from the sun to the world
No longer could support the life it gave
