it. Lyrics by Genesis

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition)

1974

[Intro]
When it's cold, it come slow
It is warm, just watch it grow
All around me

[Chorus]
It is here
It is now

[Verse 1]
Just a little bit of it
Can bring you up or down
Like the supper
It is cooking in your hometown
It is chicken, it is eggs
It is in between your legs
It is walking on the moon
Leaving your cocoon

[Pre-Chorus]
It is the jigsaw
It is purple haze
It never stays in one place
But it's not no passing phase
It is in the singles bar
In the distance of the face
It is in between the cages
It is always in a space

[Chorus]
It is here
It is now

[Verse 2]
Any rock can be made to roll
If you've enough of it to pay the toll
It has no home in words or goal
Not even in your favourite hole
It is hope for the dope
Who rides the horse without a hoof
It is shaken, not stirred
Cocktails on the roof

[Pre-Chorus]
When you eat right through it
You see everything alive
It is inside spirit
With enough grit to survive
If you think that it's pretentious
You've been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror, sonny
Before you choose, decide

[Chorus]
It is here
It is now

[Outro]
It is real
It is Rael
'Cause it's only knock and know all but I like it
Yes, it's only knock and know all but l like it
Yes, it's only knock and know all but l like it, like it, like it, like it
It's only knock and know all but l like it, like it, like it
No, it's only knock and know all, yeah, but l like it
Yes, it's only knock and know all and l like it, no, I like it, like it…
