Move Away

Moving moving
Move away

Spirit changed the conversation
Stepping stones across the land
I never wanted to be a hero
I never wanted to be a man

I hurt you darling
I made you cry
I hurt you darling
Don't ask me why

Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd hold your hand
Move move move away from me darling
I never said I'd understand

If I could say this was judgment day
You know I'd be a millionaire

I'm prepared to wear my sorrow
Everywhere we go in town
Ain't no need to beg or borrow
While you're there to drage me down

(Justice right)

I need you so
I can't let go

I never said I'd hold your hand
Why don't you move?

When you hear them talking
Saying things that you don't understand
Just keep on walking
And tell 'em you don't give a damn!

Don't call me brother, I ain't your brother

We need more than crime prevention
We need more than ecstasy
We'll be needing police protection
Better keep your hands off me

And I pray, I pray
I've been on my knees all day
And I pray, I pray
I hear every word you say

Take a look at that cat

It's a game they play with people
Kiss and count the enemy
I don't cry when I feel the tension
I have state security

This ain't a revolution
That's just people talking
Ain't a revolution

Say, say it again

If I never get caught
I'll be here all night
Doing things I know ain't right
Fifty seven dreams ago

That's the problem if you're slow

I ain't your brother

oh yeah baby

I wanna tell you something girl

God intended and you planned it
It was meant to be
Like a lover, or a brother
I'll shield you from the enemy

Don't say forever
Don't say forever
Hold me
Let's stay together
Let's say together
Look in my eyes
Can't you see what I need?

Work on me baby
Work on me baby
I do it better when I'm under pressure
Work on me baby
Work on me baby
Some boys are devils
And some fools say
Maybe we'll work it out

I think we'll work it out

God intended, he depended
On our honesty
Like a lover, like no other
I'll shield you from the enemy

You've been trying baby
Just painting a picture for me
Ain't no use crying darling
When we love so easily

Every day in every way we'll work

Well you tried so hard
To change the story
It was love but it was nothing new
Just a question of a moment's glory
Cos you want to take me for a fool

You told me I was such a fool
First you were kind
Then you were cruel
You taught me how to break the rules
And I said thank you baby

Gusto blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I'd do it if I could
Gusto blusto
I'd love you if you would
Gusto blusto
Do it! Do it! Yeah!

Well you think you really had the answer
But I never made a move on you
I don't even get a chance
To get what's coming
Baby that ain't all I knew

Gusto blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I wish you understood
Gusto blusto
I'd love you if you would
Gusto blusto
Do it! Do it! Yeah!

I give you good good loving
Sweet memories of you
You gave and taught me nothing new
Thank you baby

Gusto blusto
If your loving is so good
Gusto blusto
I wish I understood
Gusto blusto
I never break the rules
Gusto blusto
Don't you be so cruel
Wanna dance? Don't sit there
Do it now

United (I get tired of speaking)

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?

I live with my heartache, you bet that I do
I'm sad and I'm shaken, I'm empty and so blue
Magical function, I gave it all to you
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?
What if you're alone at night?
What if we're all heaven's children?

I grew up in darkness, my enemies few
I gave you my life, it was easy for you
No explanation, this boy has grown up too
That say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

I believe the world should always be our standing ground
And I believe the world should hold us close
And spin this great big world around
Don't be scared at night alone
And spin this great big world around

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?
What if they break hearts for you?
(And I will never let go)
What if your intent is true?
(No matter how we control)
What if you're just tired of crying
(I will never let you go, no matter how we control)
Heaven's children

I was young but still I knew
People were just frightened too
I would talk, they would not hear me

I have been a lonely boy
I have been a broken man
I am here and still crying

Woman, thank you thank you
God thank you woman
What we have is something special
Something quite unique
What we have should last forever
Heaven at my feet
I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
In this world you are my pleasure
No one can compete
Happiness is hard to measure
Woman you're so sweet
I would give my heart to you
You're the air I breathe
There is nothing I won't do
Just promise that you'll never leave
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me
When I'm alone at night I think of love
Well baby that's alright but it ain't enough
Won't you call me if you need me
I have loved
I would give the world to you
Or anything you need
Oh God thank you woman
Thank you thank you
For the joy that you give to me

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without reason
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Without reason

Little children don't you feel so sad
When you come home feeling lost and bad
You got a reason, oh you got a reason
Oh woman, I gave my heart to you
When I found out what you've been through
You got a reason, oh you got a reason

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go

Without a reason in my heart
How could you know?
(I know)
When they find you crying sorrows tears
And it's too late after all these years
You got a reason, gimme that reason
It's boys be strong and girls be weak
But children, careful how you speak
You got a reason, gimme that reason

Many lives they come, many lives they go
Without a reason in your heart
How could you know?
In my heart I know I cannot let go
Gotta reason in my heart and don't you know?

I believe in love
I believe in you baby
What about love?
Give it to me, you gotta give me a reason baby

Little children don't you feel so bad
When you come home feeling lost and sad
You gotta reason
Believe it in your heart and it will show

This is America the land of dreams
You're lifting me up again

I feel dangerous scared

My children don't like thunder
My children don't like rain
My children don't like fighting
My children play the game
My children don't like violence
My children don't like change
My children don't like silence
My children don't like pain

Hearts are lost and found
(Take me to America)
Hearts are lost and found
I'll be you won't stay

Too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
They've given you a start, too bad
They've given you a heart, too bad
I cannot function, too bad

My children don't like movies
My children don't have dreams
My children don't think money
My children never scheme

(The land of dreams
I've given you everything
That you could ask for)

My children don't like thunder
Don't like rain
Change change change
My children don't like thunder
Rain rain rain

I was cold till you touched me

Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Felt like someone was counting
The tears that rush from my eyes
I was broken and doubting
Love and my own sweet pride

Come clean, come clean
You know where you've been
Slipping and stepping inside
Come clean, come clean
I know that's a dream
Love is the divide

Felt a rush from the mountain
Oh Lord, I pushed you aside
I felt nothing but sadness
I'll be alone tonight

How can we lose? There's no laws to abuse
There was never more passion in crime
You took my hand, told me you'd understand
There'd be time, so much time

I was cold till you touched me
Fear had no place to hide
I felt nothing but sadness
Love is the great divide

Play

Playing with my sexuality
Play with your body, with your mind

All you people staring at the wall
Gonna make it easy, easy for all

When I say I don't dance, I'm mean
Not like you
When I say I don't dance, I need
Something new

All you pretty babies staring at the boy
Gonna tell you something, you won't get no joy

When I say I don't wanna dance, I'm mean
Not like you
When I say I don't dance, I need
Something new

Wednesday night I sleep unfolded
Thursday night another dream
Friday night wy heart is pumping
Saturday I'm feeling mean

Say it, with your body
Say it, with your body, with your mind
Say it, with you sexuality
With your body with your mind
