Better by the pound

Ndegéocello Me'Shell


Pleasure is the motivation 
For the human race 
Everything starts and ends with sex 
And appeal 
Feeling good is the bait 
They use to fish for you and me 
Comfort is the poison 
It's your spirit they want to kill 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-age generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 

There is such a need 
To get nice 
And feel nice 
And i need it more than i ought to 
I said 
My preacher keeps promisin' satisfaction 
The ladies keep giving up the gratifaction 
You know what? 
I'm feeling better 
By the pound 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-age generation 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

I'm feeling better by the pound 
By the pound 

Come on mother earth, 
Come here let it speak to you 
I say 
Come on brother earth, 
Come here let it speak through you... 
Come on, and fly 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-age generation 
Try to take your mind, yeah 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

I'm feeling better by the pound 
Yeah 

Hit my knees, 
And stop wanting for the world 
I gotta hit my knees, 
And stop wanting for the world 
Yeah 
Satisfaction, gratifaction 
Ain't got no reaction, 
To the politricks 
And stop wanting for the world 
Gotta hit your knees, 
And stop wanting for the world 
Yeah 
Satisfaction 
Gratifaction 
Ain't got no reaction, to the politricks 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-age generation 
And it's all designed 
It's a tidal wave of mysticism 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 

There's a tidal wave of mysticism 
Surging through our space-age generation 
Tidal wave 
And it's all designed 
To take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky 
Take you to the sky.
