lyrics

I've never been here before
I've never been to this place
But since we both got our sleep
We took a leap
Into a search for Mecca

We made a dozen wrong turns
But the p'licemen set us right
Despite our tourist aura
We walked too far
Not to stop traffic briefly
For reasons chiefly contrite

So now the mystery's over
The only word is sublime
All we need
Is time
All we need is time

This road leads back through the years
Atrophy’s deaf to your pleas
But friend, it gives me a chill
Knowing it's still
Birthplace of all our fantasies

And maybe Mecca's not dead
And maybe we've blessed our lives
'Cos we had nothing to lose
I took off my shoes
And we stopped traffic briefly
So our graffiti survives

And now the mystery's over
And we're in heaven above
All we need
Is love
All we need is love
