Black Muse

Black Muse

[Verse 1]

Black Muse can I talk to you

What I got to share is mighty good news

A brand new day is dawning

But you and me know what to do

(So much work to do)

[Verse 2]

Black Muse we've been so abused

Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were too

But if they don't stay together

We can't walk no better in these shoes

(Black Muse)

[Chorus]

Long ago two men held one of us down

Another took a whip and made a terrible sound

Baby watched her father falling down to the ground

That was you and me

[Verse 3]

Black Muse can I share with you

Just came this morning and it's mighty good news

They tipped the hour glass

Now everything is passed

It's true

[Chorus]

They gave the world back to you and me

The faces on the mountains and a dirty sea

A trillion dollar bill and no currency

Still we believe

[Verse 4]

Black Muse we gonna make it through

Surly people that created rhythm and blues

Rock and roll and jazz

So you know we're built to last

It's cool, it's cool, it's cool

(Black Muse)

[Outro]

A new day is dawning

Black Muse

A new day is dawning

Black Muse

1000 Light Years From Here

Now that I got your attention

I think it's 'bout time I mention

The reason why I wrote this song

Like a UFO sighting

From my heart I am writing

The next close encounter

Tell me how long

Will it be on land or near the water?

Will it produce the sun or the black moon daughter?

Or a pillow covered with all our tears?

One thousand light years away from here

(One thousand light years away from here)

One thousand light years away from here

(One thousand light years away from here)

No yesterday or tomorrow

No better remedy for sorrow

Or why the fifth held forever will make you cry

I don't know why

One thousand light years away from here

(One thousand light years away from here)

Two unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly

Little darling don't you wanna try?

There ain't nothing better than looking for me

And seeing you

Seeing you in the mirror

One thousand light years away from here

Why do we always seem so far away?

When you know that I really wanna be with you night and day

I'm running out of ways to say how

So I think I'll just close

For now
