Janis Ian - Body Slave lyrics
[Janis Ian - Body Slave lyrics]
Take me to the light
Take me to the mystery of life
Take me to the light
Let me see the edges of the night
He's got the answer we'll live forever
Take me to the light, give me what I crave
He knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming
Take me to the light
And let me be your body slave body slave
She said, "I wanted all the wealth and fame
Fancy name
My life in lights, the time was right
And I was right for the role
But nobody liked me
He came along when my life was down
Hit the the ground
I didn't hesitate - we meditated
And he sated my soul he took control
Now fame is just another illusion
My name will one day be forgotten
But in these times of confusion
I know that I have been chosen
Take me to the light
Take me to the mystery of life
Take me to the light
Let me see the edges of the night
He's got the answer we'll live forever
Take me to the light, give me what I crave
He knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming
Take me to the light
And let me be your body slave body slave
She says
"I never feel a sense of greed or of need
He will provide and I'll survive
On the light of his love
Begging on the freeways
He gives freely of all
That's learned in return
Some minor favors like delivering the Savior
A dollar or two or bringing you
Money's just another confusion
And destiny can be an illusion
So let him be the one decide
You'll go to paradise
Your soul's the only price
Take me take me
Take me take me to the light
Take me to the light
(Body slave, body slave, body slave)
Take me to the mystery of life
Take me to the light
(Body slave, body slave, body slave)
Let me see the edges of the night
(Body slave) take me to the light
(Body slave, body slave, body slave)
Take me to the mystery of life
(Body slave, body slave)
Take me to the light
(Body slave, body slave, body slave)
Take me to the edges of the night
Take me to the mystery of life
Take me to the light
Let me see the edges of the night
He's got the answer we'll live forever
Take me to the light, give me what I crave
He knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming
Take me to the light
And let me be your body slave body slave
She said, "I wanted all the wealth and fame
Fancy name
My life in lights, the time was right
And I was right for the role
But nobody liked me
He came along when my life was down
Hit the the ground

And he sated my soul he took control
Now fame is just another illusion
My name will one day be forgotten
But in these times of confusion
I know that I have been chosen
Take me to the light
Take me to the mystery of life
Take me to the light
Let me see the edges of the night

Take me to the light, give me what I crave
He knows the meaning, he shows we're dreaming

(Body slave) take me to the light
(Body slave, body slave, body slave)
Take me to the mystery of life
