John Lennon got the idea to write this song when he heard phrase "words are flowing out like endless rain into paper cup" from his first wife Cynthia while talking about something. Shortly after that while in bed, Lennon kept hearing the phrase "flowing like an endless stream" again and again. This led him to write this cosmic song. According to Lennon, this is his best, most poetic lyric he ever wrote. The line Kay Guru Deva Om is in Sanskrit and it means glory to the shining remover of darkness. Oh and Fiona Apple's cover of this song is also very good. Enjoy!
Words are flowing out like
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world x4
Images of broken light, which
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world x4
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world x4
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva.
Nothing's gonna change my world x4
