Genesis - It Lyrics

When it's cold, it come slow
It is warm, just watch it grow
All around me
It is here, it is now

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 building your cocoon

It is the jigsaw, it is the purple haze
It never stays in one place but it's not a 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
It is here, it is now

Any rock can be made to roll
If you've enough of it to pay the toll
Has no home in words or goal
Not even in your favourite hole

It is the hope for the dope
Who rides the horse without a hoof
It is shaken not stirred
Cocktails on the roof

When you eat right through it you see everything alive
It is inside the 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
It is here, it is now
It is real, it is real

'Cause it's only rock and roll and I like it
'Cause it's only rock and roll and I like it
Yes it's only rock and roll and I like it, like it
...
