Promised Land - Bananarama

Lock me up in a room somewhere

Get me out of the open air

No perception of space or time

And no peace of mind

Shut me out of the wind and rain

Shelter me from the hurt and pain

No temptation to lead me on

Now that you’re gone

Won’t you come to the rescue

Take me to the promised land

You’ve got the power to show me

Love is at hand

With you right here beside me

Dancing barefoot in the sand

Close your eyes and take me

To the promised land

Bolt the windows and close the door

Now there’s nothing worth living for

New direction is hard to find

So leave me behind

Dim the lights and hang up the phone

All I want is to be alone

No connection with anyone

I just can’t go on

Take me to the promised land

Take me to the promised land

(Take me)

To the promised land

To the promised land

Take me

Won’t you come

To the promised land

Won’t you come

(To the rescue)

To the promised land

(Come to the rescue)
