Morcheeba – To Be lyrics

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Okay, then
Mwaah, Voila
Better than it's ever been

Curled up in my brain like a wisp of smoke
Tension's rising high I can feel it in my throat
Hell is other people that I want to escape
The nature of the problem is all bent out of shape

How can I be certain that in spite of myself
You may be the perfect partner for someone else
After much consideration only one thing remains
While I'm seeking pleasure I'm causing you pain

In the not too distant future
Someone is crying for me
And if I'm not mistaken
This is how I want to be
(This is how I want to be)
This is where I want

Leave me as you find me in an elegant mess
I want to feel untouchable like Elliott Ness
I move around my senses like I'm halfway to bliss
There are many things I've done but none of them I miss

How can I be certain that in spite of myself
You may be the perfect partner for someone else
After much consideration only one thing remains
While I'm seeking pleasure I'm causing you pain

In the not too distant future
Someone is crying for me
And if I'm not mistaken
This is how I want to be
(This is how I want to be)
This is where I want

In the not too distant future
Someone is crying for me
And if I'm not mistaken
This is how I want to be
(This is how I want to be)
This is how I want to be

Yeah, he sits with his wife
Tipping her wine
She tells him bout her feelings inside
Says I'm sick of the nights
When you return with a glint in your eye
Pupils the size of pills that you try

He just smiles
He says that river's run dry
He’s finished, I'm fine
Babe, I'm making dinner tonight

Her heart fills with pride
He says go on, leave, chill out, read
He breathes and moves to the kitchen
He's through with the bitchin'
In fact, this evening he’ll prove what she’s missin
All in the form of a rump steak
Containing some changes
MDMA is quite the marination
It's like hollandaise but quite a vacation
Yeah, okay then

Mwaah Voila
Better than it’s ever been
Pinch of salt and a gram of methamphetamine

Go on darlin', settle in
She projects a grin, crosses her legs and her chest starts to shrink
She’s rushing, becoming something she's loving
What's happening? She can’t tell her husband, she mustn’t
But she urges to touch him, to...
She’s struggling to hold back the current
She leaps on the table, heels unstable
He smiles and reclines as he feels for her navel
Yeah, her cheeks shine and her eyes well
He leans in and says welcome to my world

In the not too distant future
Someone is crying for me
And if I'm not mistaken
This is how I want to be
(This is how I want to be)
This is where I want

In the not too distant future
Someone is crying for me
And if I'm not mistaken
This is how I want to be
(This is how I want to be)
This is how I want to be
