Black Muse Lyrics - Hitnrun: Phase Two - Prince

Just behind Groovy Potential, this is my favorite cut off the album. 

Reading the lyrics helps me comprehend the a little better. 

Any corrections are encouraged and welcomed. 

Black Muse 

can I talk to you 

what I got to share 

is mighty good news 

a brand new day is dawning 

U 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 too 

if they don't stay together 

we can walk no better in these shoes 

Black Muse

long ago 2 men held one of us down 

another took a whippin' 

Made a terrible sound 

a baby watch 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 past 

it's true... 

they gave the world back to u and me 

the faces on the mountains 

and the dirty sea 

a trillion dollar bill 

and no currency 

still will we believe

Black Muse 

we gon' make it thru 

surly people that created 

rhythm and blues 

rock & roll and jazz 

so u know we're built to last 

it's cooool, it's cooool, it's cooool 

black muse 

a new day is coming 

black muuuse 

a new day is dawning 

black muuuse 

now that I got your attention 

I think its '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 

well, tell me how long 

will it be on land or near the water 

will it produce the star 

of a black moon daughter 

or a pillow covered with all our tears 

one thousand light years away from here 

one thousand light years from here 

no yesterday or tomorrow 

no better remedy for sorrow 

then why the fifth held forever 

will make you cry 

I don't know why 

one thousand light years from here 

one thousand light years from here 

two unbroken circles 

joined together 

make a butterfly 

little darling 

don't u wanna try 

there ain't nothing better than 

looking for me and seeing u in the mirror 

one thousand light years away from here 

why do we always seem so far away 

when u know that I really 

wanna be with u night and day 

running out of ways to say how 

so I think I'll just close for now.
