Pov

I think the last time i was warm was in my mother
Now i'm listening in the darkness
But there's nothing on the wire
I'm locked inside the refrigerator
So while i sit and shiver
I rub the sticks together
And if it takes forever
I will find my way back to the fire

Heat is not enough
More light
Love is strong enough
More light
Faith is not enough
More light
Everybody must be touched

I think that we don't need another great communicator
And there's a million extended mixers we are ready to retire
We all face obsolescence sooner or later
So while we sit and shiver
We rub the sticks together
And if it takes forever
We will find our way back to the fire

When you cry
I know you've got a good reason to cry
If you can't come
I know it's not just an alibi
Now i hear things that are better kept under the hat
Who backs it up?
Look at your hand, you can count on that
When you talk, it's hard to disagree
And when you dance, you're talking to me

When you stand, you stand for something
Stand for something
They can't dim your flame
When you stand, you stand for something
Stand for something
They can't bend your stream

Here i stand
Outside the world of politica
I would not lose that
For all the gold in south africa
What you wear did not come easy
What you hear sounds different to me

When you stand, you're standing next to me

You put your foot down every day
Make sure you bring it down on the up beat
So walk away those feet of clay
We are fighting and dancing in the street

You're always finding out
About the things that people never talk about
I didn't ask to know
But now i'm compensating as i go
I know the script i'm in
I'm only thoughts of heaven trapped in flesh and skin
And from the world of men
I try to tighten up the code again

And the code is a play
A play is a song
A song is a film
A film is a dance

Boot me up on the zen machine
Log me onto the zen machine
Load me down
Everybody get ready
Hook me into the zen machine
Sharing time on the zen machine
Load me up
Everybody get ready

Sometimes it's clear to me
Then for a moment i'm in timeless ecstasy
There are no reasons why
And everyone's a passer-by
But when they've gone to bed
A fire's burning on the screen and in my head
And on a windy day
You can smell it from a mile away

And the smell is a note
A note is a taste
A taste is a hue
A hue is a touch

Style must not be underrated
Style is often overlooked
Style is never in the papers
I read it like an open book
Style
If you can't see the substance
Style shows how it's organized
Style is looking for your money
It's in the way you paint your eyes

There is always a way
A way things are done
I've been learning my abc's
I know what is 10, i know what is 1 in

Style is a naked look
Underneath your style
Style of a different place
Talking through your style

Even the way you hide it
Reveals the thing you hide
Your style may never cause a riot
It's still a style to have no style

There is always a way
To light up a lamp
It's been a crazy year all around
The check never came
I can't let it cramp my

Style is a world for sale
You can't buy this style
Style that you can't resist
You won't cramp my style

I'll never grow up, i won't try
I can live with that, don't ask why
I am resigned that this is me
If i can take it, why can't she?

I am bad at my best, but she will not accept that
I can't get away with things i might regret
She makes me get started when nothing's ever through
And i do the best that i can do but

Mimi gets mad when i make her wait
Mimi gets mad when i phone too late
But then mimi gets sad if i hurt myself
Can't say that about nobody else

Someone should tell her honestly
She is a fool to count on me
I swore there would be no delay
I should have been here yesterday

So i sneak in the door and there she is again
She could squeeze off a shot just as soon as look at me
She don't say a word and every word is true
And if that's the best that i can do then

Mimi gets mad every time i'm wrong
Mimi gets mad when i sleep too long
But then mimi gets glad when i do my share
See no smile but i know it's there

There must be a dozen other boys
She could give her anger to
I'm the only one, it doesn't matter what i do
It's not very pretty but it's absolutely true
That i'm still the best that she can do so

Mimi gets mad

When we were young they would break our hearts
You and i had to go undercover
We knew in time we would be pulled apart
We found a way we could hold on to each other
Gave our souls to another world
Sealed in blood with a sacred vow
Now we've forgotten but beneath all this
A part of you and me is still there now

Go on and sing
Go on and dance
It'll all come back if you just give it a chance

Don't you remember me?
We had a secret society
Refresh your memory
We were the secret society

I never see you in the waking world
We make an effort to avoid each other
But every night we penetrate the veil
Where everybody acts like sister and brother
You never speak the words in broad daylight
They're much too delicate and too naive
But everybody's been a witness sometime
It doesn't change it if you don't believe

So go on and sing
Go on and dance
Someday soon you'll hear that little bell ring

And you'll remember me
We have a secret society
Not just a memory
We are the secret society
You've got to come with me
You're in the secret society
Until eternity
We are the secret society (it's no secret)
