[Verse 1]
This is a cosmic dream
I look outside my window
I see blue and whipped cream
There goes a merman, uh-oh
Swimming up in the sky
How did he get there?
Oh my

[Chorus]
There's nothing strange, I'm not deranged
I only want every day to be or to be a cosmic day

[Refrain]
Hey, hey
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la la la

[Verse 2]
Walking alone in the dark
(Alone)
I see nothing you see
(I see it could be)
I could be in a park
(In a park)
Or flying in the, in the deep sea
I wish you'd hold my hand
Then everything it could be

[Chorus]
There's nothing strange, we're not deranged
We only want every day to be or to be a cosmic day

[Refrain]
Hey, hey
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la la la

[Verse 3]
Driving in a fast car
Looking for love in the breeze
Every sky in the star
Another hug if you please
Everything's grand
If you understand
Love is a thought away
As sure as there is me
Every day could be a cosmic day

[Refrain]
Hey, hey
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la la la

[Breakdown]
Cosmic
Cosmic day
Cosmic
Cosmic day, hey hey
Cosmic
Cosmic day
Cosmic
Cosmic day
Cosmic day
Cosmic day

[Interlude]

[Spoken]
Look outside the window
The clouds, they look like whipped cream
(Cosmic day)
(Cosmic day)
There's nothing strange
(Cosmic day)
We're not deranged
(Cosmic day)
We only want to love you
We only want to love you
Cosmic day

[Chorus]
There's nothing strange, we're not deranged
We only want every day to be or to be a cosmic day

Prince

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
