Genie With The Light Brown Lamp (1989 Version) - The Shadows

Free from the torment of sin All this I'm giving up Much as the sun would decide to give in Explode into orange And hear all the voices sing praises with hymns Mark the birth of a change Free from the torment of sin All this I'm giving up It's not me Buried wreckage, my soul It's not me So who am I now? Over and over again A light with a sharpened edge Cuts through the black empty space we call sky Beginning the cycle that stays And I know in my heart we all die Like the day and the night Like the sun in the sky All this I'm giving up It's not me Buried wreckage, my soul It's not me So who am I now? It's not me Buried wreckage, my soul It's not me So who am I now? Is there another side Beyond the black and white? A place I could meet you by A place on the other side I'll let you know when I go I'll let you know when I go When I'm gone It's not me Buried wreckage, my soul It's not me So who am I now? It's not me Buried wreckage, my soul It's not me So who am I now? It's not me (is there another side) Buried wreckage, my soul (beyond the black and white?) It's not me So who am I now? Um, let's just go back to the beginning

And one night as I closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for a while (Let me show you love baby) He said always I will stay (yeah, oh no) And always I will stay (yeah) I will stay I said Don't you say I was lost Gave you my all you dey form Gave you my love and my trust Don't you say it's not enough But I believe in her You know ama stick it up Running it up I just be keeping it real Cause all That I do you know it's gone come with a cost Taking my time on this beat you Know I'm gone floss Al4red gone blow that's a must I do this shit with no force my mind on the grind I keep on heading to the Top But I'm fucking her friend and her Friend and her friend At the at the back at the back at The back of the trunk I just be keeping it up Till the beat gone rhyme with the whiskey Throw that ass right back like a Frisbee Yeah I beat like an animal Yeah this shit is so critical I'm killing this shit I'm a murderer She said she's gone follow up My hand on the gear While she speeding up And I know she's so spiritual She blowing my dick like a harmonica And I'm taking my time you know You know that I live in the wild You know And I took that shit personal When I heard you was banging the gang you know And one night as i closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for a while (Let me show you love baby) He said You did me wrong How you gone say is my fault Fell for your love cause I was deep in the mud Taking this drugs can not be stuck In my thoughts Gave you my all But you let me fall But I still stand tall Keep moving all day like a rolling ball Why you gone call if you don't want to talk I just want to be alone for the time that's all Don't say that you ride when you know your lost And I don't even try to force I move like a gee Cannot dwell on a loss I've been on a roll like my life is a bus Why you gone say that I move in a rush When I be taking time and living it up Yeah I be keeping it up Say you gone disconnect I'm breaking it up Keeping my shit on a hush I'm on a low except I'm making a buzz I do not do remorse Say you gon' leave I guess we opening doors Starting this shit from the top Run the beat back let me spill out the fuss Switch up on me you'll get crossed For better or worse This is as real as it was Sharing my buis with the ops This type of shit I can never adore Saw all the signs from the start I blame it on faith making me think I was yours (And one night as I closed my eye) I close my eyes (I saw a shadow drawing near) I see your shadows (He came to me with the sweetest smile) (Told me he wanted to talk for a while) (Let me show you love baby) He said Don't you take my love Give you all that I've got and more Don't you say that my love ain't enough Girl you know you was wrong I said don't you take my love Give you all that I've gotten and more Don't you say that my love ain't enough Don't you say that my love ain't enough And one night as I closed my eye I saw a shadow drawing near He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk
