lyrics:
Black muse, can I talk 2 U ?
What I got 2 share is mighty good news
A brand new day is dawning
But U and me know what 2 do
(So much work 2 do)
Black muse, we've been so abused
Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were 2
But if they don't stay 2gether
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 2 the ground
That was U and me
Black muse, can I share with U ?
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 2 U 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 U know we're built 2 last
It's cool, it's cool, it's cool
(Black muse)
A new day is dawning
Black muse
A new day is dawning
Black muse
Now that I got Ur 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 4 sorrow
Or why the fifth held forever will make U cry
I don't know why
1000 light years from here
1000 light years from here
Well, two unbroken circles joined 2gether make a butterfly
Little darling, don't U wanna try? (Yeah, I wanna try)
There ain't nothing better than looking 4 me (4 me too)
And seeing U (seeing me)
Seeing U in the mirror
1000 light years away from here
Why do we always seem so far away?
When U know that I really wanna be with U night and day
I'm running out of ways 2 say how
So I think I'll just close 4 now
