lyrics

And while your tracking down your bliss
You’ve got to know about the risks
The question old but yet so fresh
What does the spirit do about the flesh?
The soul is noble down the list,
But the body’s not sure it exists
So even when the spirit drops a clue
The body’s not sure what to do

And while your tracking down your bliss
You’ve got to know about the risks
The question fresh but yet so old
What does the body do about the soul?
The spirit lifts you and reveals you
But it also doesn’t mind to kill you
So in a bid for self-preservation
The body sends its resignation

Looking for the middle course
To find a balance to the force
The answer faint but yet so clear
The music’s playing in your ear
The groove it shoots down to your feet
Your partner rises from her seat
So while your tracking dow your bliss
Make sure you know about a kiss
