Ramalama (Bang Bang)

(album: Ruby Blue - 2005)

Bang, bang!

Could a body close the mind out?
Stitch a seam across the eye?
If you can be good, you'll live forever
If you're bad, you'll die when you die

Hearing only one true note
On the one and only sound
Unzip my body
Take my heart out
Cause I need a beat to give this tune...

Taking a picture

Oh the body swayed to music
Oh the lightning glance
If I would give it all and all
Maybe you would hear me
Ask for half a chance

Hearing only one root note
Planted firmly in the ground
Undo my heart, unzip my body and
Lend to my ear a clear and a deafening sound

Unzip my heart

And if I need a rhythm
It'll be to my heart I listen
If it don't put me too far wrong
(And if I, and if I)

Everybody smile please
Nobody pay no mind to me
Finger in position on the switch
A little flash photography

Taking a picture of you
Taking a picture of
Taking a picture of me
Taking a picture

And if I need a rhythm
It's gonna be to my heart I listen
