Miami Vice movie - Sweep lyrics

Song by Blue Foundation<br /><br>

The floor you walk on is smooth. There is no ground there.<br>

Magic begins with blood. Outside, there are trees,<br>

With concrete under their roots. But I have passed the tombs of kings,<br>

Regaled them with pacing, checked bins for food and wrappings.<br>

I have scoured the seas for miles, cloaked my face with ash.<br>

My fingertips opening, accepting my time.<br>

<br>

The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes<br>

For me, I’m your sorrow<br>

Calling in your dreams<br>

For me, I’m your shadow<br>

Howling in the streets<br>

<br>

Tomorrow, I will walk the streets<br>

And steel myself for the familiar. Your eyes<br>

Will not settle, a hunger. You’d be happier in your grave.<br>

When we meet, share stories, you stretch me. I see,<br>

I see a semi-circle of teeth.<br>

<br>

The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes<br>

For me, I’m your sorrow<br>

Calling in your dreams<br>

For me, I’m your shadow<br>

Howling in the streets <br>

<br>
