Black Muse

Black muse, can I talk to you?
 What I got to share is mighty good news
 A brand new day is dawning
 But you and me know what to do
 (So much work to do)
 Black muse, we've been so abused
 Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were to
 But if they don't stay together
 We can't walk no better in these shoes
 (Black muse)
 Long ago, two men held one of us down
 Another took a whip and made a terrible sound
 Baby watched her father falling down to the ground
 That was you and me
 Black muse, can I share with you?
 Just came this morning and it's mighty good news
 They tipped the hour glass
 Now everything is passed
 It's true
 They gave the world back to you and me
 The faces on the mountains and a dirty sea
 A trillion dollar bill and no currency
 Still we believe
 Black muse, we gon' make it thru
 Surely people that created rhythm and blues
 Rock and roll and jazz
 So you know we're built to last
 It's cool, it's cool, it's cool

 A new day is dawning
 Black muse
 
 A new day is dawning
 Black muse
 Now that I got your attention
 I think it's 'bout time I mention
 The reason why I wrote this song
 Like a UFO sighting
 From my heart, I am writing
 The next close encounter
 Tell me how long
 Will it be on land or near the water?
 Will it produce the sun or the black moon daughter?
 Or a pillow covered with all our tears?
 1000 light years away from here
 (1000 light years from here)
 (1000 light years from here)
 (1000 light years from here)
 1000 light years from here
 (1000 light years from here)
 (1000 light years from here)
 (1000 light years from here)
 No yesterday or tomorrow
 No better remedy for sorrow
 Or why the fifth held forever will make you cry
 I don't know why
 1000 light years from here
 1000 light years from here
 Well, two unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly
 Little darling, don't you wanna try? (Yeah, I wanna try)
 There ain't nothing better than looking for me (for me too)
 And seeing you (seeing me)
 Seeing you in the mirror
 1000 light years away from here
 Why do we always seem so far away?
 When you know that I really wanna be with you night and day
 I'm running out of ways to say how
 So I think I'll just close for now
