Moussa Diallo lyrics - Out of Tune

Juju Dancing


Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing

Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing

Come on talk to me
Come on walk with me
Sugar and spices
We’ll walk on water

Come on dance with me
Come on trance with me
Sugar and spices
We’ll dance on fire

Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing
Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing

Come on sing with me
Come on swing with me
Sugar and spices
We’ll climb the highest mountain

Come on share my bread
Come on drink my wine
Sugar and spices
We’ll fly the skies

Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing
Juju dancing, voodoo in the night, juju dancing

HIGHER MEANING

Inspired by ‘The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa’

We need higher meaning, we need higher meaning
Say higher meaning, we need higher meaning

Superior men need it
Without it
Even though they are rich and famous
Their lives have but little meaning

Average men need it
Without it
Though they are strong and healthy
Their lives have but little meaning

Inferior men need it
Without it
Though they work hard to survive
Their lives have but little meaning

I said higher, we need to get a little higher
We need to get a little higher

We need higher meaning, we need higher meaning
Say higher meaning, we need higher meaning

Superior women need it
Without it
Though they look pretty and divine
Their lives have but little meaning

Average women need it
Without it
Even though they’re clever
Their lives have but little meaning

Inferior women need it
Without it
Though they are cunning
Their lives have but little meaning

I say higher, we need to get a little higher
We need to get a little higher

We need higher meaning, say higher meaning
We need higher meaning, say higher meaning

Without it
All one does, lacks meaning and purpose

USUAL LIFE

The flames are getting higher
You’re burning down your bridges, baby
The moon is turning gray
Sending shivers down my spine
Like lightning in the rain
Rushing through my veins

Neptune in your dream

Is serving coffee with no cream

You have forgotten why you’re unhappy
You’re right back to living the usual life
Where is your head, what’s in your heart
You’re a bad example of what you’re preaching

The sun can burn your skin
Like flowers can make you sing
If love is on your lips, baby
Put it right back into your heart
Frozen kisses have no taste
They make every word a waste
Mars in your stream
Is about to make a scene

You have forgotten why you’re unhappy
You’re right back to living the usual life
Where is your head, what’s in your heart
You’re a bad example of what you’re preaching

I can’t take it no more, I can’t take it no more….

U ARE HEAVEN

U are heaven
My sweet heaven
I found heaven in U

I walked the roads of heartaches and pain
I've been left alone calling you in vain
Been burned and battered by the hope of love
Until my cries reached the heavens above

Now I sing with the birds every day
In my heart I know you're here to stay
You are my fountain of pure love and joy
You're filling the space that once was void

I was giving up when you came out of the blue
I found a friend when I had no clue
I wish every one could have a love like mine
So we can dance and drink this nectar sweet as wine

U are heaven
My sweet heaven
I found heaven in U

For gold and silver I will not trade
This garden of peace in my heart you made
By your side I know I'll thirst no more
For love is your very core

WANNA TELL YOU SOMETHING

Thought I knew all about love
But love has proved me wrong
This feeling I have in my heart
Is getting stronger by the second
I'm looking out every minute
Hoping to catch a glimpse of you
And when I do see you sometimes
Why do I get so confused

I wanna tell you something (something)
But the words won’t come my way now
I wanna tell you something (something)
I just don’t know how to do it
I think I love you baby (baby)
But the words won’t come my way now
I wanna tell you something (something)
I guess I’m feeling too much

I thought I had experience
Now I dream just like a child
Hoping an angel would whisper
My hopes and dreams in your ears
Far away, but you’re still so near
Sometimes I pretend you’re here with me
Tenderly wrapped in my arms

Until I wake up feeling like

I wanna tell you something (something)
But the words won’t come my way now
I wanna tell you something (something)
I just don’t know how to do it
I think I love you baby (baby)
But the words won’t come my way now
I wanna tell you something (something)
I guess I’m feeling too much

WALKING

I’m walking in the day
Walking in the night
Walking in my sleep
Walking in my dreams
I’m walking in circles
Walking in squares
Walking for ages
Oh, walking the karma laws

Say I’m walking, walking, walking

Say I’m walking

I’m walking, walking, walking
Still I’m walking

I walk into your life
For a little while
Walking through a script
Still in Maya’s grip
I’m walking searching for clues
While I’m paying dues
I’m walking, don’t know where to
Blinded by desire

Victimized, you’re victimized, when you’re blinded by your own pride

Victimized, you’re victimized, when you hold on to your obsessions

Victimized, you’re victimized, when your religion is not love
Victimized, victimized, when you see the truth and walk away

I’m walking with a reason
I’m walking with a plan
Walking with a feeling
I’m walking for my life
I’m walking to be free
I’m walking towards myself
I’m walking until I find you

WAIT HERE IN THE DARK

I can lie to myself, but I can’t hide from you
My eyes are wide open, but I can’t see
The love you’re giving every day
The tears I cry can’t save me
The fears I carry, they just don’t wanna leave
Yeah, I have ears, but I’m not listening to you
My head is aching and my heart is sore

Wait here in the dark
Wait here for the light to shine
Wait here in the dark
Wait here for the bell to ring

Please help me if I forget
I don’t wanna wake up with regrets
My soul is yearning to be kissed by you
I think I’m learning a little every day
Hurt me with your love so I can feel
I wanna bleed knowing that I’m loved by you
Touch me, burn me with redemptions fire
Crush me, dissolve me in your holy waters

Wait here in the dark
Wait here for the light to shine
Wait here in the dark
Wait here for the bell to ring

MY SUPA SUPA

My supa supa, my supa supa
My supa supa, my supa supa

The light in your eyes
Melts me like ice
Like a fish in the wata
Your love’s all that matta
This place so romantic
You look so fantastic
I wanna take a chance
Kiss you while we dance

My supa supa, my sugar honey baby
My supa supa, my sugar honey baby 2x

The phone is ringing
My temperature starts rising
Like a bird in the sky
Your loving gets me high
Baby lets go somewhere
Catch the sunset out there
Lets ride with this feeling
Until we wake up in the morning

My supa supa, my sugar honey baby
My supa supa, my sugar honey baby 2x

I wanna love you my baby
Until the moon and the stars become one
I wanna love all the time
Until you become me and I become you

My supa supa

Bumbala ba oh, bumbala, oh ya, bumbala ba,
Bumbala ba oh, bumbala, oh ya, bumbala ba,

Woye, woye, woye, woye, bumbala ba
Woye, woye, woye, woye, bumbala ba

Bumbala ba oh, bumbala, oh ya, bumbala ba,
Bumbala ba oh, bumbala, oh ya, bumbala ba,

My supa supa, my sugar honey baby
My supa supa, my sugar honey baby…

RAISE THE ROOF

Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head
Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head

Now some people don’t really wanna get on
Standing there, holding back on the good thing
If you wanna be cool, you better move along
Don’t try to understand, just go ahead and sing

Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head
Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head

Who is on my side, say who
Who is on my side, who
Who is on my side, say who
Now who is on my side

The hills, the sea and the earth will dance
Brothers and sisters stay in trance
Before too long we’re gonna raise the roof
And take you on board on the mother ship
Come on, come on

Who is on my side, say who
Now who is on my side, say who

Now…

Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head
Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head

Wanna make you happy before you have a reason
‘Cause happiness is trying to take you on
I’m afraid you’re still thinking about the situation
By what strange miracle do you often not smile

Come on …

Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head
Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head

Watch the sky, see the stars
Hold your breath, listen to the ocean

From the trees you eat the fruit
Mother earth sees you grow, then takes you back

Reconnecting

A child becomes a man, for spirit must grow
Spiritualize

Rise

Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head
Raise the roof, we’re gonna raise the roof over your head

Sweet revelation for all to see

Rise, just rise ….

SONGS OUT OF TUNE

I heard a song on the radio
A song like many other songs
I can't get any satisfaction
It's like eating love out of a can
Strange how the pleasure we seek
Is a part of our pain
A hungry soul is a desperate man
Gotta find a reason to be

Songs out of tune
Another cry in the sky
Songs out of tune
If only I could fly

The chains around your neck
You are wearing like they were jewels
The make-up is running down your face
No one needs to know how you feel
They may make a star of you today
By tomorrow no one knows you anymore
Fake emotions, face the crowd
The truth must wait while we sing…

Songs out of tune

Another cry in the sky
Songs out of tune
If only I could fly
Songs out of tune
Another cloud in the sky
Songs out of tune
Waiting for love, waiting for love

Zanzibar

Ooh Zanzibar, a place you can’t resist
Ooh Zanzibar; cool, cool vibrations

The first time I got there, didn’t know what to expect
As soon as we landed it was here from the start
Friendly faces everywhere, sweet dreams from the sea
All said welcome to paradise

We walked the streets of Stonetown
Enjoyed a drink at Archepelago
Right across the Livingstone
A full moon party was due for the night

Ooh Zanzibar, everybody you must see
A jewel in the sea, a place you can’t resist
Ooh Zanzibar, everybody you got to see
A jewel in the sea; cool, cool vibrations

With Adel and the gang we danced all night long
The moon was light and cheery, it was a perfect night
Then right there in the crowd three shining faces
Three Mandingo sisters singing with me

Maninda don gili dalaw maninda

We walked the streets of Stonetown
Enjoyed a drink at Archepelago
Right across the Livingstone
A full moon party was due for the night

Ooh Zanzibar, everybody you must see
A jewel in the sea, a place you can’t resist
Ooh Zanzibar, everybody you got to see
A jewel in the sea; cool, cool vibrations

Oh, Oh Yalala, celebrate tonight
Oh, Oh Yalala, celebrate tonight
