Emotionless this city lies Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes The dull, the dark Shades on my day I live inside this play
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only what I wanna be yeah-ah My blanket covers me, yeah
Now as a human I was party-poppin, breakin on the lino Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro And used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro But now my ends meet in the best way that I know (Hat, snare, kick) and the beats that go boom See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom All the beats and melodies keep realities at bay But what happens when the records done and starts to fade away
Alone within myself again I try to veil away my pain The dirty grey surrounding me 'round And now I hear no sounds...
I feel like Melle Mel from way back in the days As i wonder how i keep from going under I got trouble on my mind like my name is chuck d And like marvin gaye it makes me wanna holler When the music hits me I feel no pain That's why i gotta put you on again and again I take the needle off the technics and put it in my vein All my troubles get crushed as the rush hits my brain And away goes trouble down the drain
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see I'll be only who I wanna be yeah-ah, yeah-ah My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary Music is my blanket
You are my living world You are my living world You are you are you are my My only living world....
