Above the code
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.
I'm sitting by the wade pool laughing, picking creed and your cool shades flashing
(you're a baby, i guess that's why they can say these things)
And the motown came to life, with peoples babies all holding them tight.
(and a detroit voice, has made my choice up)
And the boxer all scared in the hood, there's stations there we could go by four.
(these are times, that keep everybody coming way too cool.
The hottest evening i've ever had, sweaty hands not even making me sad.
(and your touching me, there's a 1st time for the everything.)
And the imagery of dreams and fields, is the imagery of love in the air, it's above the code.
And let some make me some modern dealings, goes beyond the stuff that is worth keeping.
And the symmetry of dreams and feelings, is the imagery of love in the air, it's above the code.
And let some make some modern dealings, beyond the stuff that is worth keeping.
And the things that i knew at birth, come back to me in a burst.
The way that god was painted to me, with heaven in the sky where i could not be.
(what is wrong with her, are your scared that death is the end?)
