Ursula Rucker Broken
WE BE DANCIN’ IN THE DARK
AND FIGHTIN IN THE LIGHT
CAN WE GET THIS SHIT TOGETHER...CAN WE
ROCK THIS MIC CALLED LIFE
CAN WE...ROCK THIS MIC CALLED LIFE
WHEN I’M ON THE MIC I ROCK THE MIC RIGHT
·
BOY, YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP
YOU ALWAYS BRING ME DOWN...DOWN, DOWN – DOWN
·
BOY, YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP
YOU ALWAYS BRING ME DOWN
CORRECTION, I LET YOU BRING ME DOWN
BREAK MY SPIRIT TO THE VERY LAST COMPOUND...
INTO PARTICLES
OF HURT, TEARS
LOVE, SWEAT, YEARS
INTO SOMETHING LIKE DUST
SCATTERING
FLURRYING
IN SUSPENSION
IN THE THICK AIR BETWEEN US
TRUST – BROKEN
HEARTS – BROKEN
PROMISES – BROKEN
INTO PARTICLES...SUSPENDED
IN THE THICK AIR BETWEEN US
LIKE MOSQUITO AND AMBER
LIVES FROZEN IN TIME...WASTED TIME
CAN WE FIND A WAY TO RECREATE
CRACK THE AMBER
EXTRACT THE BLOOD FROM THE MOSQUITO
MAKE A NEW LIFE
MAKE A NEW LIFE
MAKE A NEW LIFE
OR WOULD YOU RATHER JUST FIGHT?

BOY, YOU DON’T KNOW WHICH WAY IS UP
I LET YOU BRING ME DOWN...DOWN, DOWN – DOWN
AND LORD ONLY KNOWS WHY I...
ALLOW YOU TO...CROWD ME, CORNER ME, MAKE ME
MAKE ME...FORGET ME
MAKE ME...REGRET ME
BAIT ME, HOOK ME, THROW ME...BACK INTO THE DIRTY
WATER
BAIT ME, HOOK ME, THROW ME....BACK INTO THE DIRTY
WATER
BAIT ME, HOOK ME, THROW ME...BACK INTO THE DIRTY
WATER
AGAIN...AGAIN...AGAIN
AND AGAIN
DO I LOOK LIKE PAVLOV’S DOG TO YOU?
I GUESS I DO
WELL...RING THAT BELL NOW MOTHER-FUCKER
SEE WHAT HAPPENS
SEE WHAT HAPPENS
