Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We came across the West Sea
We didn't have much idea of the kind of climate waiting
We used our hands for guidance
Like the children of a preacher
Like a dry tree seeking water
Or a daughter
Nice n' sleazy
Nice n' sleazy does it
[Verse 2]
Nice n' sleazy, nice n' sleazy
Does it, does it, does it every time
[Verse 3]
Nice n' sleazy, nice n' sleazy
Does it, does it, does it every time
[Verse 4]
Nice n' sleazy does it
[Verse 5]
Nice n' sleazy, nice n' sleazy
Does it, does it, does it every time
[Verse 6]
Nice n' sleazy, nice n' sleazy
Does it, does it, does it every time
[Verse 7]
Nice n' sleazy does it
[Verse 8]
An angel came from outside
Had no halo, had no father
With a coat of many colors
[Verse 9]
He spoke of brothers many
Wine and woman, song of plenty
He began to write a chapter in history
[Verse 10]
Nice n' sleazy
Nice n' sleazy does it
Nice n' sleazy does it
Nice n' sleazy does it
Does it every time
