The Game
Slow your mind down
Let your feelings drown
Let it take your body over
Like a wave of serenity
I've been sitting here
Thinking about you
As you dip your feet in rapidless rhythmic waters
The sensation icy cool
Feel the beat beneath your feet
This warm cozy seat of relaxing medication
So there's a slice of our paradise and we want to give it all to you
Cause the frame of mind is blind to those doing time
And to strain the brain is like doing overtime
Welcome to paradise
Dancey hips will do these tricks as long as I keep those dancey riffs, I know
And thats where I plan to go
Now, take this risk and keep in mind, Ill make you move like a pause rewind, I know
Feel your pulse as we lock eyes, our bodies in trance so let me guide you
Won't you lead me home
Oh cause youre looking so damn tasty with your movements and those sexy cloths
I want to lick your body, give me a taste of all your highs and lows
Lets take this bliss and not dismiss the aching of our bodies that persist for more,
Thats what I have in store
So lets do business, take my card, forget that dress that you'll discard, oh yeah
Coming in fast and coming in slow, I've got the Mr. Miyagi wax-on flow
Oh cause youre looking at me aching, baby, letting me know youre ready to go
She had the tits of an angel, the tail of the devil, and the soul of a rebel
She had the tits of an angel, the tail of the devil, and she's coming for you
The rhythm of those thighs, could really move my eyes and I know
That I shouldn't go so, so I sit back and ignore
The dirty thoughts I'm thinking and pursue just what I'm feeling
The mirror on the ceiling has become so revealing
She's smiling shyly
She's laughing quietly, yeah the words to her diary
Secret she kept, secret that she kept from me
As I look up at the ceiling to see through the mirror
It becomes so revealing, oh and the truth so much clearer
Cause I found out that she's a rebel
And she's rebelling and her soul's so cold
I'm tired of this concrete, this concrete street
I need something softer for me, beneath my feet
So where will it take me, where will I go from here?
Somewhere where the weather is nice and the water is warm
So if you find youre in a tropical storm
You'll realize the weather is better and the water is fine
The sunsets so scenic, the waters so calm
Come on and use me honey before too long
So capture these feelings, while these waves form
And then we'll turn them into your tropical storm
It's been a long journey, it's been awhile
Traveling through channels of space and time
It's all just so simple, the world passed by
Could you ever realize what's in front of my eyes?
Hey my friend do you want to roll
With me
If you were right here with me, you'd see it too
So please take me back to get me through
The flow of illusion streams into,
Hoping I'll wake next to you
As the sunset closes another day,
A masterpiece before her eyes,
She waits for those things that bring her back,
Back to the times when their minds were one
She sat there brooding on the unknown world
Searching for that lone green light
She'll be wasting the whole night through just looking at stars
She'll be wasting
Answers from the stars slowly fade away,
What does she seek in the starry night?
She waits, like a melody before the words
Glance at the sky to a world so lost
Couldn't figure out the last thing I said
The seven and sevens were bubbling in my head, yeah
But what came from it,
She wound up in my bed,
The next day, I wish I just got head, yeah
Why can't I fight this scheming in my mind?
These seven and sevens, they always leave me blind, yeah
Why do I do the things I do, the things I do
Why do I do things, why do I do things I do? (The situation hazy)
Why do I do things, why do I do things I do? (It seems to happen daily)
Why do I do things, why do I do things I do? (The next day shames me)
Why do I do things, why do I do things I do? (Cause I'm crazy baby)
And in that moment,
I knew I should have fled
I still pray, I try to rid the sin, yeah
How can I wash this nightmare from my mind?
Shame on me, I couldnt see the dirty feeling that grabbed at me
But only now, I choose to see the dirty feeling, it empties me
But only now, I choose to see the situation, it empties me
Baby, dont you know, you mean nothing to me
I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I'm freezing at a door
Looking for those answers
Cause I've been in there before
They're trying to slow me down
Was I taking things too far?
Do I ignore my instincts?
Or can I believe myself once more?
It's a question I am truly destined for
So I go with the ebb and flow of this life I know enough
Searching for those answers that were meant to be explored
I spend every waking moment sliding on these frozen shores
It's like seeing something you saw before
It's like feeling something you felt before
Undo that heartless lady's heartless cures
Undo my hex and release my soul
Under déjà voodoo
You see me through those swollen eyes
And you never seemed to realize
The fact that I was supposed to be someone
I'm not pointing fingers but you, uh oh, you know
How the story goes
Simple just to sing, all the emotion that it brings,
I can't smile for awhile cause she stole,
Now I sail through those waves
It took me over and you led me on
I'm counting all the times you did me wrong, oh no
And its taken its toll
Sinking once again, what am I doing wrong?
Soon as I stepped away, your eyes spoke to me
Locked and ready to play, I've already won the game
Now stop and heal me, while my heart still beats
I will smile another trial, I've survived. I won't fail, no way
It took me over and you led me on,
The consequences of your deceitful pawn, oh no.
Now I'm under control
Soon as I stepped away, your eyes they spoke to me
The smoothest tidal wave, a numb moment of pain
Wake my whole to change, I am leading an honest way
