Twist In My Sobriety (short Version)

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 like to think I can be so willed - and never do what you say 
I never hear you - and never do what you say 

Look my eyes theyÂ're just holograms - look your love hasd rawn 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 

We just poked a little empty pie - for the fun that 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 and whole - all God's children took their toll 

Look my eyes theyÂ're 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 

Cup of tea, take time to think, yea - time to risk a life, a life, a life 
Sweet and handsome - soft and porky 
You pig out 'til you've seen the light - pig out 'til you've seen the light 

Look my eyes theyÂ're 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
