Twist In My Sobriety (short Version)
Tanita Tikaram
All God's children need travelling shoes - drive your problems from here
All good people read good books - now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl - now your conscience is clear
In the morning when I wipe my brow - wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed - and never do what you say
I never hear you - and never do what you say
Look my eyes theyÂ're just holograms - look your love hasd rawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be - more than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
We just poked a little empty pie - for the fun that people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility - timid smile and pause to free
I don't care about their different thoughts - different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole - all God's children took their toll
Look my eyes theyÂ're just holograms - look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be - more than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
Cup of tea, take time to think, yea - time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome - soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light - pig out 'til you've seen the light
Look my eyes theyÂ're just holograms - look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be - more than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
