Prince — Black Muse

Black Muse [Verse 1] 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) [Verse 2] Black Muse we've been so abused Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were too But if they don't stay together We can't walk no better in these shoes (Black Muse) [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] Black Muse we gonna make it through Surly 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) [Outro] A new day is dawning Black Muse A new day is dawning Black Muse 1000 Lightyears Away 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 One thousand light years away from here (One thousand light years away from here) One thousand light years away from here (One thousand light years away 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 One thousand light years away from here (One thousand light years away from here) Two unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly Little darling don't you wanna try? There ain't nothing better than looking for me And seeing you Seeing you in the mirror One thousand 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
