I Believe
(Balaban)


There's a sinner in the house tonight, I heard him say
A man came ridin into town
"A disturber" said the holy priest, "an evil man"
We'd better lock our women down
Well he sat down and he started oh the guitar he could play
The music that a devil plays
When he sings they feel, when he plays they'd kneel
A tune to rock this town alive

He's been sent to test us, to test our righteous ways
He's not a good influence, we cannot let him stay
Women's thoughts are straying, you'll see
As I passed him he said to me:

I believe in the might, of music in flight,
When harmonies play, woman can't stay away
In the light of the stars, as I play for their hearts,
When musics aplay, our passions in flame
I believe, I believe, all night long

So the townsmen got together then, to find out what to do,
And how to treat the music man
And the women congregated too, they knew what to do
Oh they packed their backs and ran

He's been sent to test us, to test our righteous ways
He's not a good influence, we cannot let him stay
Women's thoughts are straying, you'll see
As I passed him he said to me:

I believe in the might, of music in flight,
When harmonies play, woman can't stay away
In the light of the stars, as I play for their hearts,
When musics aplay, our passions in flame
I believe, I believe, all night long

Life's an intermezzo in this universal show
Making love is a crescendo, that everyone should know
Yeah, love's a grand finale, that I was born to play, I live the life, please the wife, rock her Little daughter and roll

Women's thoughts are straying, you'll see
As I passed him he said to me:

I believe in the might, of music in flight,
When harmonies play, woman can't stay away
In the light of the stars, as I play for their hearts,
When musics aplay, our passions in flame
I believe, believe, believe
