David Wilcox "Sex And Music" |
There's no sense in talking about music, no Talking of sex can be done I mean, the abstraction of music's confusing, that's all The directness of sex is more fun And the road that will lead you to both of them Is known for the races and wrecks But there's less of a mystery in music If we just get some directions from sex Sacred ground The big machine is moving Sacred ground We're standing in the way Sacred ground They want to pave it over Sacred ground Make it all the same Well, at first you say you'll just do it for love But then you do it with friends, right As soon as you do it for money Right there's where the innocence ends How will you navigate between better and worse With just these numbers of people to count? The pop charts are just cutting notches For the number of units you mount When spirit gets lost in accounting The counting takes its toll You find yourself craving more numbers It's the sex-drug of rock and roll And it leads you to strange addictions Like image, marketing spin Just trying to get them to like you, that's what you think How could that be such a sin? Sacred ground The big machine is moving Sacred ground We're standing in the way Sacred ground They want to pave it over Sacred ground Make it all the same Well, what do you want them to like you for? See That's the question to ask, that's the question Would it help you if everyone knew your face If that face were only a mask? And why do you want them to like you? What change are you trying to bring? Or do you lust after just their attention Do you want them to come when you sing? Sacred ground The big machine is moving Sacred ground We're standing in the way Sacred ground They want to pave it over Sacred ground Make it all the same What you tryin' to do? What you tryin' to do? Capture their beauty So that you could feel loved for an hour? Is it the power of being attractive, no It is just the attraction of power? See, sex and music are much the same We feel with hearts and skin And what you are going to get out of them both Is just what you put in Sacred ground The big machine is moving Sacred ground We're standing in the way Sacred ground They want to pave it over Sacred ground Make it all the same They want to pave it The big machine is moving Sacred ground We're standing in the way Sacred ground They want to pave it over Sacred ground Make it all the same Sacred ground Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
