Lyrics
Blue eyed, dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can't do without
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me, can you feel the power?
I don't know what's going on
It scares me, but it won't be long
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound, just move out
Move out
Move out
Move out
Move out
Move out
Move out
Now, he's in control, he is my lover
Nations stand against him, he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow, yeah
don't mess around
(Move out) you bring me down
(Move out) how you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out
don't mess around
(Move out) you bring me down
(Move out) how you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out
Move out
Move out
Move out
don't mess around
(Move out) you bring me down
(Move out) how you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out
Now, he's in control, he is my lover
Nations stand against him, he's your brother
Been a long time, been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow, yeah
don't mess around
(Move out) you bring me down
(Move out) how you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out
don't mess around
(Move out) you bring me down
(Move out) how you get about it
Don't make a sound, just move out

Dreamy instrumental music that at times has the same pastel nostalgia as vaporware in its sprightly keys and big beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 17, 2022
