lyrics

Are you a diamond-studded library? Are you a ruby studded star? Are you a universal theory? Are you a women who is far? /

Are you a lover of the beaches? Are you a giver from inside? Are you a dream of rosey peaches? Are you a strong, unending ride? /

Where is the tapestry of time? What does it look like when it’s complete? What kind of role will you play for me? What kind of cycle will you be? /

Will you propose with yes-ing eyelids? Will you propose with your consent? Will you give in to me with beamers? Will you empower me with dents? /

Will you consent to be an agitant? Will you not let me be smooth? Will you get all up in my face yo? Will you give me things to prove? /

I don’t want no satisfaction. I don’t want no saline-drip. I just want some human action. I just want some cheeky lip. /

Come sing a song, come sing it well for me. Don’t try hard just try to be /

Come sing a song, come sing it beautif’ly. Come make my heart feel fully free. ///
