Verse 1
Rhythm is (C major) both the song's
manical and it's demonic charge.
It is the original breath , it is the whisper
of unremitting demand.
What do you still want to be
said of the singer?
What do you think you can still
draw from my lips?
Exact presence that no fantasy
can represent.
Purveyor of the old secret,
alive with the blood that (D major) boils again,
And (C major) is pulsing where the rhythm
is torn apart.
How your singer's blood is incensed
at the depth of sound.
Lacerations echo in the mouth's
open erotic sky where (D major) dance together,
The (C major) lost trenches of rhythm (D major) and
an imploring (C major) immobility...
(D major) Ladies and gentlemen... (C major) Miss Grace Jones...
