You Take Me Far

A different journey each time a light wave leaves your curves
The music hits home with each lyric that escapes your lips
A new high is launched as the heavens open
A new universe forms as the angels’ choir listens
Explodes into my life an internal turmoil like troops
A rollercoaster ride suspended in motion upside-down loops

At your thought my heart sings at the top of my voice
At your sight my left feet move like they wanna dance
When we touch – vertigo – my head spins a thousand revolutions
When you speak – purgatory – I hear angels crushing demons
I feel love, pain, loss and ecstasy
Experience joyful, everlasting memory

In your presence the outside world is blocked out into oblivion
The soul’s uncontainable shouts out like a free electron
You move like music to the beat on the dance floor 
Your waves got me burning circles like a drifting car
My music travels to distant shores to discover your star
Until Venus cools over 
You burn my tar
Until Mars greens over
You take me far
