Erykah Badu - Tefnut lyrics

Some great philosophers believe that with the rain, comes the calling, from heaven for angels to be ascended back home to God's Kingdom. The probable question is who would be lifted on this night. This night where the wind smacked with echoes. Pushing trees and rocking cars. Ever so subtly the rain kissed on Tefnut's window pane, the kiss turned to scratches, sleep was not to be had on this night. “Telephone”. She rolled over, checking it for the last time since the last time she said it would be her last. Misty eyed, she wiped the tears away. Knocking bottles over in the process, as they fell to the ground. The sound cracked as they hit the bottles that laid there before. Tefnut, awaiting the call of Hermes. “3:30” she hasn't heard from him and was starting to feel that the love that ran deeper than the poison she had consumed was no love at all. Was this just a web of lies? Feeling like a pit of deceit that pulled her further into the bed as she read the fine print at the bottom of the bottle. “Slow fade Slow, slow fade oh”. Silence is her conversation tonight. So she thought. “Telephone” she reached again “Telephone” it fell on her face, staying there. “Telephone” “Telephone It's Ol' Dirty ,He wants to give you directions home” she mumbles. Angrily, she hurls the phone across the room. The poison was starting to take its effect. Her nerves were still, her letter was written. “Save a place for me brother” she co*ked it back “Put in a word for me”. “Oh, say I love you” Blackness . “Telephone” Freefalling back to earth, her reality sets in. Unable to escape the faith. “It's too early, we want to hear a long song”. Tefnut wanted forever with Hermes but temporary was all God was offering. “Telephone, It's Ol' Dirty He wants to give you directions home. They won't be too long. Said it won't be too long” the throws of dashing dreams has taken a person to the extreme that they never dared to go before. What was once flourish was now abandonment! In the darkness of the hallway that was once so bright. Remember on this night how the rain dropped? Heavily.“Time to go away” “Fly away to heaven brother” No peace was found on this night, but you can not dance with what was going to be. Should have been forever.
