Lyrics Richard Ashcroft

Richard Ashcroft

World Keeps Turning

It's been a long time since I've been around here

I'm driving so fast, the trees disappear around me

Everything I know, or have known before

Is here in my mind, I think you know the score

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning

Keep ahead of the race it's the human despair

On my blocks every night trying to figure out what's wrong & right

Oh, just as psychedelic thing, I'll bring you love, anything

But the tears will flow, just the like the blood on the streets yeah

It's been too long since we sat down here & talked

It's been too long, you know we separated

It's been so long I wish that I could build a bridge

It's been so long, how can I see through it?

The world keeps turning, everybody's learning

Keep ahead of the race, I've money to spend

And time to lend on my friends

Everything right in my life again

Oh babe, don't you take it away & give me days that were black & gray

And all the corners of my mind turned, entwined into another guy

Oh hit, a hypocrit, yeah that's it. I turned my words, they twirl & combine

They mix in your head, and make you think that I'm singing right to you

It's ok, if you want, I'll give you the time, the money to run

You could be the president, if you get that far then give me some help
