— LYRICS —

Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away
Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away

What it is that you’re looking for?
Can’t give you what you’re asking for
Do you want me anymore?
Or is it over?

Searching for the thing we were
See me rushing to the shore
Paradise a fallen floor
Am I drowning?
Drowning

Am I drowning?
Am I drowning?

A place that I don’t know at first
A shadow in the universe
Don’t know if it’s bad or worse
Oh, what’s the purpose?
Purpose, purpose

Looking at the far away
Miles beyond a better place
Time’s too big to pass away
It goes, it goes on and on
It goes on and on and on and on

Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away
Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away
Nighttime spells
Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away
Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away

So very far
So very far
So very far
So very far
So very far
Nighttime spells will take us deep and far away
All the way

All the way
All the way
Personally stirred up like some Kool-Aid
But I’m drinking Alizé
I’m not with the bullshit
I’m not with the child’s play
Looking for the parts of me
Puzzle is done like midway
I can’t get to half of me if part of me is—
My destiny like designer, the porn I watch is—
The shit that get me hot is like poetry in a sauna
The ish that kicks my rocks is like the Missionaries from Ghana
I need to center my soul and get them demons from behind me

Solo rainy night, cruising through the French quarters
Leather jacket, my tag say Ralph Lauren
Solo rainy night, cruising through the French quarters
Leather jacket, my tag say Ralph Lauren
