The Last Emperor - Away From The Sun lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

If you in a quiet place turn your lights down low

Listen close to the voice on your radio show

Now you've openly, unknowingly chose to be invaded by a mystery man you don't know

I play the role, of the life rearranger

Mysterious style and a smile that hides anger

Women are attracted, despite the danger

And wanna play Madonna to this beautiful stranger

It's like that, coming right back at y'all again

Into my trap, the fly honey's fall again

A love kindle, you get swindled, by the Charlatan

Who brings romance like a Harlequin

Authorities hunting me down for years

From every city I leave a trail of tears

If you scared? You should be afraid my dear

So stay away from the magician who never reappears, cause yo

[Chorus]

Oh, oh no oh they got me on the run

Away from the sun, the sun the sun

[Verse 2]

I stroll into town like the high-blaze drifter

Mental weight lifter, animal shape-shifter

Old folks and young man, kids say: "Hey Mister"

Bumped into Ms. Fortune, had a date with her

We sang love songs and hiphop tunes

That night by the light of the silvery moon

To pass the time I kick rhymes, the sun came up soon

And gave rise to one of the warmest days in June

But ever since, my heart was gunned down

I swore I'd never settle myself in one town

So I'm patiently waiting for the sun to go down

To take to the street like Frankenstein unbound

And move too-and-fro, soft and slow

No matter how bad I wanna stay I gots to go

I turned a still life portrait to a picture show

And when I leave they be crying: "Oh I miss him so", and I know

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

For Him, love and hate are two things interwoven

The beast within there is no controling

Out on a limb got your heart stolen

You stood there crying and I kept on rolling

Alienated yourself from your family and friends

I skated and skipped town with all of your ends

So when the love commenced I broke down your defence

Overpowered, devoured by the beast called revenge

Yes revenge, is all that I want

Cause some foul woman broke my heart once

Until my wounds heal I'll feel that I'm cursed

To do the same thing to women all over this earth

I know some women can't see what I'm after

Some women even welcome this attacker

Try to escape but they even fell faster

Under the spell of the lonely heart jacker

[Chorus x2]

Ohh...
