Prince - Black Muse Lyrics






Black Muse can eye talk to you
What eye got to share is mighty good news
A brand new day is dawning
But you and me know what to do
(so much work to do)

Black Muse we've been so abused
Our mothers were good-looking and our fathers were to
But if they don't stay together
We can't walk no better in these shoes
(Black Muse)

Long ago 2 men held one of us down
Another took a whip and made a terrible sound
Baby watched her father falling down to the ground
That was you and me.

Black Muse can eye share with you
Just came this morning and it's mighty good news
They tipped the hour glass
Now everything is passed
It's true.

They gave the world back to you and me
The faces on the mountains and a dirty sea
A trillion dollar bill and no currency
Still we believe

Black Muse we gonna make it thru
Surly people that created rhythm and blues
Rock and roll and jazz
So you know we're built to last
It's cool.. it's cool.. it's cool..
(Black Muse)

A new day is dawning
Black Muse
A new day is dawning
Black Muse

Now that eye got your attention
Eye think its 'bout time eye mention
The reason why eye wrote this song
Like a UFO sighting
From my heart eye am writing
The next close encounter
Tell me how long
Will it be on land or near the water
Will it produce the sun or the black moon daughter
Or a pillow covered with all our tears
1000 light years away from here
(1000 light years from here)

No yesterday or tomorrow
No better remedy for sorrow
Or why the 5th held forever will make you cry
Eye don't know why

1000 light years from here
(1000 light years from here)

2 unbroken circles joined together make a butterfly
Little darling don't you wanna try? (yeah I wanna try)
There ain't nothing better than looking for me (for me to)
And seeing you (seeing me)
Seeing you in the mirror
1000 light years away from here

Why do we always seem so far away?
When you know that eye really wanna be with you night and day
I'm running out of ways to say how
So eye think I'll just close
For now.

    Prince's last album went out with a bang!


    Most artist's last album before they pass away are not nearly as good as this here.

  2. C.... R....

    Miss you 💜

  3. d.... ....

    About Demaris Lewis. Love this song

  4. P.... D....

    One of my favourite's prince song, and i'm hardcore fan. This song you can play in your auto-radio 1000 times, feel good, and each time you learn more about music. Really this song is totally accurate with driving i don"t know why but it makes my "routine" so much better. Don't know how to tell this in proper english ... hope some1 understand. Sometimes i even cry thinking of this genius that left too soon, and this greatness of sounds he left us. I wish he could have live 20 years more, his music would have been so wonderful ...

  5. E.... P....

    It’s unfortunate that people are so focused on Prince’s early music because his catalog is so versatile and his creativity never stopped right up until he left this life. Black Muse is certainly a testament to that. I’m grateful for it and so appreciative. Hopefully people will dig more into his music cause that’s always been how he communicated with his “fams” and stop listening to the b.s. his “friends” are spurring and writing.

    E.... P....

    I agree with you 100 per cent.

  6. L.... B....
