- Terence Trent D’Arby - Turn The Page Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- You chose with age
- To speak with a prima ballerina's rage
- And speak of all the kingdoms
- That would swoop down
- Stick around
- Then proceed to ignore you
- No flash pot pan, guitar man
- Or resurrected Apollo myth
- To seal your fate
- Feed your plate
- And just plain worship and adore you
- But the pills you swill
- Bring you no thrill
- So travel lightly on the wing this time
- Leaving all your baggage behind
- As you wander through your vagabond stage
- And find yourself shovelling shit
- With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
- You must not be afraid
- You must turn the page
- You wore your goddess down
- In jaundiced disarray
- Your halo fell into decay
- Swiped by those you loved
- But could not hold in sway behind you
- And then the dry spell leaves
- At a low shutter speed
- Long enough for you to see
- That you create your own reality
- And that the wait alone will not enshrine you
- And the war that you swore
- Would pour through your door
- To come to your rescue this time
- Is all in your mind
- Now as you wander through your vagabond stage
- And you find yourself shovelling shit
- With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
- And you find yourself kicking dirt around
- With your Paris green pumps
- Of pentacles and precious jade
- You must not be afraid
- You must turn the page
- You dreamt a world of things
- Like you were a duchess born
- Or Coretta Scott King
- And the queen does not invite you over for a tea at her gaff
- In Scotland
- Or in Buckingham's back-yard
- Now I'm sure 'Van the Man' of whom I'm a fan
- Can surely understand
- As he said ";It is not why, it just is.";
- So therefore you need not remain scarred
- And in time you'll find
- That your salvation is mine
- As you travel lightly on the wing this time
- Leaving all your baggage behind
- Now as you wander through your vagabond stage
- And you find yourself shovelling shit
- With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade
- And you find yourself kicking dirt around
- With your Paris green pumps
- Of pentacles and precious jade
- Pulling the roots from your hair
- Dyed from a bottle
- You saw in a windows with
- An 'Everything must go!!' sale sign
- Prominently displayed
- And yet waiting for your dancing
- On the edge of a precipice heart to sing
- Those serenading soul songs
- That fulfillingness and consciousness brings
- Releasing you from your captive cage
- Replacing love for all your rage
- Turning your hope on a rope's magic pope kaleidoscope
- Into a rabbit's foot parade
- You must not be afraid
- (Eyes forward babe)
- You must turn the page
- One thing is sure
- And that is change
- When the water's rising
- You can't remain
- Move to dry land
- Move to dry land
- You've got to move on
