Lyrics
Accordingly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Businessmen like babes lay sleeping on the lawn
Cops are standing naked, breaking into song
If i took her now as the one for me
Could effect a change accordingly
Statesmen and salesmen bend to kiss the ground
Lawyers and losers hold hands and hang around
If i took her now as the one for me
Could effect a change accordingly
What if i would place my trust in you
If i had no doubt the way i do
I could take you now as the one for me
Could effect a change accordingly
Could effect a change accordingly
