Lyrics:

Have you heard (have you heard) of the joyful resurrection?
A way to bring your mind back from the dead

Have you heard (have you heard) of the joyful pain direction?
Change of scene is gonna change your head


So you think (so you think) that the music got me haunted
Let me tell you, people, that ain't right

So some important man has sent us all to Delphi
And the rockin' voice to carry in the night


It was late, it was late and the day was long in comin'
Mystery ship would not stop in L.A.

Oh, the velvet visions' fantasy was growin'
And the underground revival set the stage


Came the dawn (came the dawn) and the sun was shinin' brightly
For the poor boys from the county came to play

The best they had, no money
And the evil of the darkness passed their way


Have you heard (have you heard) of the joyful resurrection?
A way to bring your mind back from the dead

Have you heard (have you heard) of the joyful pain direction?
Change of scene is gonna change your head


I said joy- (I said joy-) I said joy- (I said joyful) resurrection
I said joy- (I said joy-) I said joy- (I said joyful) resurrection
I said joy- (I said joy-) I said joy- (I said joyful) resurrection
I said joy- (I said joy-) I said joy- (I said joyful) resurrection
