Twist In My Sobriety
- Tanita Tikaram -
[Verse 1]
All God's children need travelling shoes, Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books, Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk, girl
Now your conscience is clear
[Verse 2]
In the morning when I wipe my brow, Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed and never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say
[Chorus]
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be, More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety, More than twist in my sobriety
[Verse 3]
We just poked a little empty pie for the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility Timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts, Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole, All God's children took their toll
[Chorus]
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be, More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety, More than twist in my sobriety
[Bridge]
Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah, Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light
[Verse 4]
Half the people read the papers, Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell
[Chorus]
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be, More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety, More than twist in my sobriety
[Outro]
Look, my eyes are just holograms
Look, your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be, More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety, More than twist in my sobriety
