Careful What You Ask For Lyrics by NRBQ

NRBQ (1999)

1999

[Verse 1]
You can visualize
Yeah, tune into something anything you want and make it come true
But it's your demise
If you set your sight on anything you might regret later and can't undo

[Chorus]
The sun is up, the moon is down
So be careful what you ask for

[Verse 2]
Make an affirmation
A positive declaration that you in the future place and sets it up in the here and now
Well it's your own creation
But don't tinker with love 'cause the cosmos shaper has a sense of humor and it just might allow it

[Chorus]
So make your move but do beware
Be careful what you ask for

[Verse 3]
Ain't no joke about it
The things you say and do or listen to this ain't just talk or idle chatter
'Cause your thoughts go out
Right on and through the universe and they'll come back as solid matter

[Chorus]
It's all around, it's everywhere
So be careful what you ask for

[Instrumental Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well it's all you make it
I would talk all day if something I would say might get through
It's all just give and take
But we all make the same mistakes and it seems like there's nothing we can do

[Chorus]
So just make a wish and say a prayer
But be careful what you ask for

[Outro]
Be careful what you ask for
It's been proven and tested and manifested it's all by your own desire
