Janelle Monáe - Neon Valley Street lyrics

May this song reach your heart
May your ears love the sweet melody
Every note, every chord
I've arranged them for you and for me

May the sound of my voice be your guide
Bring you closer to me
Let us bathe in the noise
Let the love in your heart speak to me

For now, I'll pretend i'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on to you

We met alone forbidden in the city
Running fast through time like
Tubman and John Henry but the time was wrong
Illegal aliens moaned
It's such a pity that the
City's just a danger zone
Atomic blues bombing hearts like
Iraqis in Babylon
The droid control will take your
Soul and rate it berate, slay it
You hate it and debate it
But, you don't get caught
An outlaw outrunning the law, ha

May the strings make you smile
May they always remind you of me
For now let's pretend i'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on for you

May the strings make you smile
May they always remind you of me

Confusion is a walrus
Yet there’s still so much left
For us to learn
I hear the riot community approaching
Take my hand, Jane, let’s go talk to them
