Back To The Garden

(Album: Rocksteady - 2010)

Take me back into your circle of trust
Take me back into your garden
Girl you know I can't live without your touch
Girl I can't live without your pardon

You hooked me as a soul fisherwoman
Knocked me down as a fighter for justice
Ran out of ammunition as a marksman
Grooving with your charming charming charming

Then at the end of the tracks we pulled off
Fired up the purring engines as we sit back
Dancing slow and we ain't pretending
Woman what I got for you is never ending

Oh oh oh oh
I said what I said to get by
I did what I did to survive

Oh oh oh oh
I did what I did to survive
I said what I said to get by

Built like a bank that the government paid off
Relaxing to the waxing moon we made off
Figured out the crime but the cops were paid off
Just another Saturday night, we should've stayed out

Roller skating on the edge of destruction
Politician on the take rules the nation
Didn't make a sound as a spirit broadcaster
Didn't break a rhythm with the new jam masters

Oh oh oh oh
I said what I said to get by
I did what I did to survive

Oh oh oh oh
I did what I did to survive
I said what I said to get by

Take me back into your circle of trust
Take me back into your garden
Girl you know I can't live without your touch
Girl I can't live without your pardon

Once you fall out of the circle of trust
There's no getting back into the garden
Now you're gonna have to live without her touch
Now you're gonna have to live without her pardon

Had a lot of hope but not a lot of harmony
She could hear a hit song and I was her melody
She could break a sweat jumping on the dance floor
She could sell you world peace at the mall bookstore

Oh oh oh oh
I said what I said to get by
I did what I did to survive

Oh oh oh oh
I did what I did to survive
I said what I said to get by

Take me back into your circle of trust
