Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the city
I hear the voices
Of the ancients
They’re calling for us
Hear their horses running up Prince Street
'Cause I'm a mystic, I swim in waters
That would drown so many other bitches
Got me lifted, feeling so gifted, ah
[Verse 2]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
In the gym, I’m exorcising
All my demons, make 'em keep riding
Yesterday, I lifted your body weight
I pick a song and I listen to it
'Til it's just a piece of music
And everything else falls away, huh
[Chorus]
Baby
Whenever you’d break me
I’d watch it happen, like an angel looking down
It made me a woman, being hurt like that
I can feel, don’t need fantasy
Oh God, if she could see me now
[Verse 3]
Hope you find a, another starlet
Another camera, another red carpet
As for me, I’m going back to the clay
You can tell them I went crazy
If that's what this is, then I guess I'll take it
I bring the pain out the synthesiser
The bodies move like there's spirits inside 'em
[Chorus]
Baby
Whenever you'd break me
I'd watch it happen, like an angel looking down
It made me a woman, being hurt like that
I can feel, don't need fantasy
Oh God, if she could see me now
Oh God, if she could see me now
Oh God, if she could see me now
Oh God, if she could see me now
Oh God
Oh God
