Electribe 101 - Electribal Memories lyrics

Mmm, oh yeah, yeah I remember when you used to sing And they danced around And their heads were covered by the rain And they danced around There was no turning back There was no way escaping From the big blue sky They were eyes like a fire And light in their eyes You could see them falling on the ground They would fall in love mmm They would fall in love mmm They would fall in love yeah They would fall in love mmm I remember I remember a time When everything was peaceful And the dancers were good Our faces were darkened by wood charcoal As if covered by the soot of a fire No-one would recognize us from afar The Gods didn't want you to see our faces The dancers who's faces you could recognize from afar Would not get praised And people would say The dance was not good And leave early I remember I remember I remember It happened always and everywhere We didn't count the individual faces The feathers and furs and the grease would look fresh Never dusty and dull The dancers grey I remember Somewhere in the city He would dance around He'd be walking by right around the corner He would move around There was no turning back There was no way escaping From the big blue sky He had eyes like a fire And light in his eyes You could see him falling on the ground He would fall in love mmm He would fall in love oh yeah He would fall in love yeah He would fall in love mmm He would fall in love yeah oh He would fall in love yeah I remember sometimes the dance Would end up in confusion Spectators would leave quickly But that was Ok Because the Gods would always help again Gods do get upset sometimes I remember Sometimes in a big city a sole figure Would come out of a door And stalk the streets He didn't want no trouble He was waiting For the girls to start their dances And their dresses of many shapes and colours He would hide behind corners People would say He's walking again I remember I remember And the princess of actors Would sit in her castle and spin stories Sometimes she would cut her fingers And then the blood would stain the part of her dress Where it was most thin It would sink through to her skin These were the days of sleepless nights I remember Sometimes now when I sit alone I remember I don't want no change So I paint my face again and sit there just like before And remember And remember Now we wait for changes in the weather And we sit around And your head is covered by a pillar And we wait around And there's no turning back And there's no way escaping From the big blue sky There's a hole in the heaven And it is decided that were leaving this town yeah Can we fall in love yeah We will fall in love oh yeah We will fall in love oh yeah We will fall in love oh I remember When we just used to sit And wait for the good weather to come in We didn't want any change Your eyes were all the more glowing From all the darkness around you I loved you Simple Simple When life in town became too hard We would try and change places We'd move downtown and again uptown And the sun would rise and the sun would go down And the men in suits would talk about pink ladies in their laces Life would go on and life would go on People decided that it was time to leave the city to the pale tribe And do our own thing I remember I remember I remember I remember
