Graffiti Bridge lyrics

Jump 'em and funk 'em, pump 'em and funk 'em
We can funk

I'm testing postive 4 the funk
I'll gladly pee in anybody's cup
and when your cup overflow I'll pee some more

I could tell u stories 'til u get tired.
I could play with your mind.
But u'd probably say that I was a liar
so I won't waste your time

I'm scared 'cause though we just met there's this energy between us,

Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night
he's looking 4 some action, he's looking 4 a fight
he's looking 4 a saviour in a city full of fools
maybe he just needs a good talker to give him a good talking 2.
Can we talk baby? Strip down, strip down.
I think I'm gonna fall in love tonight.

Elephants and flowers, hot sweaty light paints a picture red and gold

Yo Stella, if U think I'm afraid of U
Grace, if U so much as think I can't do the do
Girl, if U dream I came to jerk around
U better wake up and release it
Party people in the crib get hyped.
Let's get this party funking right, come on, yeah, come on
Release it, listen 2 me now, release it yeah.
come, come, come on, release it

Who's crib is this? My crib.

Dear dad,
Things didn't turn out quite like I wanted them 2
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode

Everybody wanna c u down 4 the count
But that ain't what being a real man's about
The brave and the bold hang around 4 the kill
So the bigger the hole, the bigger we fill it (fill it!)
They can hit us with all they got
But cha know what?
What?

I can't stop this feeling I got

Oh yeah
round and round and round
round, round
yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah

Can u tell me where we're going 2?
Can u tell me what it is we really want 2 find?
Is the truth really there? Or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know it's been there all the time.

I say, nothing comes from dreamers but dreams
I say, sitting idle in our boat while everyone else is down the stream

So what is the answer 2 the question of u
what do I look 4, what shall I do?
Which way do I turn when I'm feeling lost?
if I sell my soul, now what will it cost?
Must I become naked? No image at all?
Shall I remain upright? Or get down and crawl?

All of the questions in my life will be answered
when I decide which road 2 choose
what is the answer 2 the question of u?

u.

Lay down your funky weapon.
Yeah y'all, here we go
pumpin' the big noise in the 90's.

Pardon me 4 living, but this is my world 2
I can't help that what's cool to us might be strange to u
Pardon me 4 breathing, can we borrow some of your air?
the problem with u and your kind is that u don't know love is there

Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor

{crowd noise same as for "Alphabet Street"}

He like to frequent this club down up on 36th
Pimps and thangs like 2 hang outside and cuss for kicks

Talking 2 no one in particular, they say "the baddest I am tonight"
4 letter words are seldom heard with such dignity and bite.
All the poets and the part time singers always hang inside

Shake!

Hey, hey people what u come here 4?
Come on everybody, let's get out on the floor.
All the pretty girls shaking what they got
the boys swear to god that they're all 2 hot

Everybody shake.
U got to shake something. My lord.
Shake! U got 2 shake something.

Come on pretty baby now don't be shy.
New liberated girl, ask a guy
We can go dancing baby every night

I've seen a many bridges in my time and crossed every one of 'em
with no trouble at all (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I had trials and tribulations, heartaches and pains (well that's alright)
Survived 'em all baby (uh huh, say it, say it!)
Hmph, I'm still Melody, and I'm still Cool
Melody Cool...

They call me Melody Cool (Melody, Melody)

Love machine, yeah. Hey, yeah.

I've got the toys, 2 turn your body out
I've got the noise, 2 make u scream and shout
The love machine will take your body higher
'cause if it don't then I know u're a liar

Don't lie, u want some love that will make u cry
17 tongues licking from the neck down moving in a quickspeed circular motion
round and round, I said it round and round,

everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
something 2 believe in, a reason 2 believe that there's a heaven above
everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
everybody's looking 4
everybody's looking 4
everybody's looking 4 love

everybody wants 2 find the perfect 1
someone that makes u happy, someone that makes u laugh when u want 2 cry
everybody wants to find the perfect 1
everybody's looking 4

Fellas? (Yeah!)

Hit Me!

Are we ready? (I do believe we are ready)

What time is it? (Yount!) (It's killing time, Mo'iss!)

I know that's right cuz I am the latest fashion

Ha ha ha... {sampled throughout song}

(Go Morris) {repeated}

(Ooh wee!)

(Yount!)

I know I said I loved U

I know I said I needed U

I know I said that I'd be here always

It's just around the corner
It's just around the block
This love that I've been waiting 4
A love solid as rock
A love that reaffirms that we r not alone
A love so bright inside u it glows
And night and day will run together
And all things will be fine
Still would stand all hate around us
Still would stand all time

Still would stand all time

It's not a thousand years away

love come quick
love come in a hurry
there's thieves in the temple tonight
they don't care where they kick
just as long as they hurt you
they're thieves in the temple tonight

love if you're there come save me
from all this cold despair
i can hang when you're around
but i should die if you're not there

love come quick
love come in a hurry
they're thieves in the temple tonight

Ooh, I can't hold it
Ow! Bang, b-b-bang, bang
Bang.

U, yeah.
U're such a big tease, u get me all excited,
all excited then u go home.
U're like ice cream,
knew I got 2 getcha, got 2 getcha, before u're all gone.

U're such a bombshell,
and if I ever get ya, ever get ya, ever get ya,
there's no telling how long I'd last
before I tick, tick bang all over u

It's just around the corner
It's just around the block
This love that I've been waiting 4
A love solid as rock
A love that reaffirms that we r not alone
A love so bright inside u it glows
And night and day will run together
And all things will be fine
Still would stand all hate around us
Still would stand all time

Still would stand all time

It's not a thousand years away

Lay down your funky weapon.
