lyrics

Seeing you again
Would be better than cocaine
Better for my heart
And better for my brain
Higher than a plane
A mask for the pain
If I was too twisted
You’d straight me again
Oh
Better than cocaine
Would be seeing you again
Seeing you again
And seeing you again
And hearing you say my name
My joy it was slain
And now all that remains
Is a heart that keeps pumping
But for what I can’t say
Wine in the veins
And tears in my eyes
I don’t want them to dry
Or to be alive
The coldest of bodies
That longs for the flame
And a mind that’s not sure
If it’s sane or insane
An ache and a yearn
And an ash and urn
You in the brain
As the cigarette burns
Oh
To chop you again
Oh
To feel you again
Oh
To hug you again
Oh
To kiss you again
Oh
To grime you again
Oh
To funk you again
Oh
To jazz you again
Oh
To rock you again
Oh
To hold you again
Oh
To know you again
Oh
To rap you again
Oh
To flow you again
Oh
To hip you again
Trip with you again
Would be better than cocaine
Yeah that’s better than cocaine
So
Go go go
Don’t slow don’t slow
Rush back to me
let’s go let’s go
And come back here again
To where we can lay
And wait out the storm
Stay dry from the rain
Get wet in our bodies
Go down and then raise
Fall asleep and then wake
Just to see you again

All the tracks are great but Stepper is the standout for me! pounding syncopated kicks, rolling handdrums and playful sample work, dancefloor destroyer. Jack G.
