Nice Folks - Adia Victoria

You’re night without an end

A room without a door

Your finger on my lips

So I will speak no more

But surely did I say

The day was gonna come

And I would find the break

And make my feet to run

It’s the same old nice folks bringin' me down

And it’s the same old nice folks watchin' me drown

And it’s the same old tight rope draggin' me round

But they don’t really see that

They gonna say I went mad

To be loved, you gotta be cruel

You don’t agree?

You be a fool

The number is high, know where I stand

I know what you are, do you know who I am?

Take all the dollars, take all the cents

Sold your soul to the businessmen

Now you gotta be good, you gotta behave

You gotta play nice, you gotta create

The water is wide, water is deep

I pray to the lord, your soul to keep

The endless night, sink or swim

You ready or not, it’s happenin'

And it’s the same old nice folks bringin' me down

And it’s the same old nice folks watchin' me drown

And it’s the same old tight rope draggin' me round and round

But they don’t really see that

And it’s the same old nice folks bringin' me down

And it’s the same old nice folks watchin' me drown

And it’s the same old tight rope draggin' me round

But they don’t really see that

They gonna say I went mad

(I believe that one should be able to control and manipulate experiences…

Even the most terrifying, like madness, being tortured… this sort of experience

And one should be able to manipulate these experiences with an informed and an

intelligent mind…)

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?

It’s you and I

It’s you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?

It’s you and I

It’s you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?

It’s you and I

It’s you and I forever

Do you realize, when you look into my eyes?

It’s you and I

It’s you and I forever
