Chaka Demus lyrics

[Chorus]
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
So why don't you go and touch the sky?

[Verse 1]
Think with the head, argue with the gut
Drafty, though leave the door open
It might encourage customers in, I wish the barmaid shut
Look like sh*t, down on my luck
Two World Wars and one World Cup
Screamed by the desperate divided crutch
Used to have an empire, then we grew up
Lost everything, who gives a f*ck?
Money in the jukebox rots all night
Same sh*t bands, too much hype
Everyone knows everyone sees fights
Everyone drinks on the corner, right?
Everyone knows as I see blood type
Same we match, and we match alike
I love her, she loves me, too
That's why we get together

[Chorus]
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And I don't wanna touch the sky
[Verse 2]
He's dizzy for Lizzy, I'm dizzy generally
Scapegoated by a girl befriending me
Not that I care, it's the only use for me
She bounce off walls, through doors, I tend to be
Everything I wanna be and everything less
I stress this guess to front the mistress
Heavy and heavy on your lungs, down your spine
sh*t, I got pleurisy
You're leaving alone but you came together
Who made the sun turn stormy weather?
Leaving alone but you came together
Who made the sun turn stormy weather?

[Chorus]
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And I don't wanna touch the sky

[Verse 3]
She said, "Tonight, Jay, I'm gonna teach them a ballad"
An Englishman in every coward
I was kind of impressed by the way she dressed
I've scoured this land to find a girl empowered
Asked her again why her heart turned sour
One of the ones that the boys devoured
If you're gonna learn a song, gotta sing along
There's an Englishman in every coward
I got money in a jukebox, rots all night
Same sh*t bands, too much hype
Everyone knows everyone sees fights
Everyone drinks in the corner, right?
Everyone knows as I see blood type
Same we match, and we match alike
Well, I love her, she loving me too
That's why we get together
[Chorus]
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And I don't wanna touch the sky
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And I don't wanna touch the sky
