Suspicion
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.
Now my suspicion's on the rise
I have known, I have known your kind.
please don't talk, don't make me think
order up another drink
let me let imagination drive.
can't you see
I need
nothing too deep.
imagination
come alive
suspicion
tonight, I'll dream tonight.
listen to the devils in my ear.
tell me what, what I want to hear
you're so funny, you're so fine.
you're so perfect, you're so mine.
that I never had an opportunity
to hide
no I never had a chance
can't you see
I need
nothing too deep.
imagination
come alive
suspicion
tonight, I'll dream tonight.
look into my eyes.
they hypnotize.
the lights, the drinks.
let the music carry you away
my eyes are blurred
my sights are limited
am I sensing a familiar twinge?
please don't speak
make me think
it's all too deep
imagination
come alive
suspicion
step down, I'll dream tonight.
step down, I'll dream
you're so naked baby
carry me away
dream, dream
