Lyrics

To Be

[Intro - Rizzle Kicks]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Okay, then

Mwaah, Voila

Better than it's ever been

[Verse 1 - Skye Edwards]

Curled up in my brain like a wisp of smoke

Tension's rising high I can feel it in my throat

Hell is other people that I want to escape

The nature of the problem is all bent out of shape

[Pre-Chorus - Skye Edwards]

How can I be certain that in spite of myself

You may be the perfect partner for someone else

After much consideration only one thing remains

While I'm seeking pleasure I'm causing you pain

[Chorus - Skye Edwards]

In the not too distant future

Someone is crying for me

And if I'm not mistaken

This is how I want to be

(This is how I want to be)

This is where I want

[Verse 2 - Skye Edwards]

Leave me as you find me in an elegant mess

I want to feel untouchable like Elliott Ness

I move around my senses like I'm halfway to bliss

There are many things I've done but none of them I miss

[Pre-Chorus - Skye Edwards]

How can I be certain that in spite of myself

You may be the perfect partner for someone else

After much consideration only one thing remains

While I'm seeking pleasure I'm causing you pain

[Chorus - Skye Edwards]

In the not too distant future

Someone is crying for me

And if I'm not mistaken

This is how I want to be

(This is how I want to be)

This is where I want

[Chorus - Skye Edwards]

In the not too distant future

Someone is crying for me

And if I'm not mistaken

This is how I want to be

(This is how I want to be)

This is how I want to be

[Bridge - Rizzle Kicks]

Yeah, he sits with his wife

Tipping her wine

She tells him bout her feelings inside

Says I'm sick of the nights

When you return with a glint in your eye

Pupils the size of pills that you try

He just smiles

He says that river's run dry

He’s finished, I'm fine

Babe, I'm making dinner tonight

Her heart fills with pride

He says go on, leave, chill out, read

He breathes and moves to the kitchen

He's through with the bitchin'

In fact, this evening he’ll prove what she’s missin

All in the form of a rump steak

Containing some changes

MDMA is quite the marination

It's like hollandaise but quite a vacation

Yeah, okay then

Mwaah Voila

Better than it’s ever been

Pinch of salt and a gram of methamphetamine

Go on darlin', settle in

She projects a grin, crosses her legs and her chest starts to shrink

She’s rushing, becoming something she's loving

What's happening? She can’t tell her husband, she mustn’t

But she urges to touch him, to...

She’s struggling to hold back the current

She leaps on the table, heels unstable

He smiles and reclines as he feels for her navel

Yeah, her cheeks shine and her eyes well

He leans in and says welcome to my world

[Chorus - Skye Edwards]

In the not too distant future

Someone is crying for me

And if I'm not mistaken

This is how I want to be

(This is how I want to be)

This is where I want

In the not too distant future

Someone is crying for me

And if I'm not mistaken

This is how I want to be

(This is how I want to be)

This is how I want to be
