Joy In Repetition
(专辑: Graffiti Bridge - 1990)
[crowd noise same as for "Alphabet Street"] He like to frequent this club down up on 36th Pimps and thangs like 2
hang outside and cuss for kicks Talking 2
no one in particular, they say "the baddest I
am tonight" 4
letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite. All the
poets and the
part time singers always hang inside Live music from a
band plays a
song called "Soul Psychodelicide". The
song's a
year long and had been playing 4
months when he Walked into the
place. No one seemed to care, an introverted this-is-it look on most of their faces. Up on the
mic repeating 2
words, over and over again Was this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in the
Articulated manner in which she said them. These 2
words, a
little bit behind the
beat. I
mean just enough 2
turn u
on. 4
everytime she said the
words another one of his doubts were gone. Should he try 2
rap with her? Should he stand and stare? No one else was watching her, she didn't seem 2
care. So over and over, she said the
words til he could take no more, (no more) He dragged her from the
stage and together they ran through the
back door In the
alley over by the
curb he said tell me what's your name She only said the
words again and it started to rain (rain, rain, rain) 2
words falling between the
drops and the
moans of his condition Holding someone is truly believing there's joy in repetition. There's joy in repetition. There's joy in repetition. There's joy in repetition. There's joy in repetition. She said love me, love me, what she say? She say love me, love me. Joy, why don't u
love me baby, joy, why can't u
love me baby Joy, come on and love me baby, joy in repetition Alright, joy in repetition, Alright, joy in repetition, Alright, joy in repetition, Alright, joy, all my wishes add up to one Love me, joy, Love me, joy, Love me, joy Love me, Love me, joy, joy, joy in repetition Joy, joy in repetition, Joy, joy (love me) in repetition, Love me, love, joy, joy, joy in repetition Joy, and I'm gonna say it again, joy, joy, and I'm gonna say it again, Joy, I'd like 2
go way up high and say, Love me, joy I'll say Love me, joy Joy, joy in repetition, joy in repetition There's joy in repetition
