Twist In My Sobriety

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'd like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are 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
More than twist in my sobriety 

We just poked a little empty pie
For the fun the 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 the whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are 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
More than twist in my sobriety 

Cup of tea take time to think yeah
Time to risk a life for life for life
Sweet and handsome Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've see the light
Pig out 'til you've see the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people Nervous people
People have got to sell
The news you have to sell
