Black Muse
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)
Black muse, we've been so abused
Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were to
But if they don't stay together
We can't walk no better in these shoes
(Black muse)
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
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
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
Black muse, we gon' make it thru
Surely 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)
(Black muse)
(Black muse)
A new day is dawning
Black muse
A new day is dawning
Black muse
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?
1000 light years away from here
(1000 light years from here)
(1000 light years from here)
(1000 light years from here)
1000 light years from here
(1000 light years from here)
(1000 light years from here)
(1000 light years 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
1000 light years from here
1000 light years from here
Well, two unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly
Little darling, don't you wanna try? (Yeah, I wanna try)
There ain't nothing better than looking for me (for me too)
And seeing you (seeing me)
Seeing you in the mirror
1000 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
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)
Black muse, we've been so abused
Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were to
But if they don't stay together
We can't walk no better in these shoes
