Faster Than the Truth - Neneh Cherry

You gave with the hand that took from another

Don’t need the leg down, like another

Promise was the promised land

Another habit with my legacy

Belongs to me

Pin ya to the bed did everything I said

Took me to the dead, look for solid land, hmmm

I bore my craft, found a way home

Look at me now, full speed Wikipedia

As fast as I catch you, you update me

Out-beat you like appear, I might cheat ya

Beat you up, business meet you

Creepin' up the med up the side of me head

Play dead, you raise the rent

Not my time

I play dead, you raise the rent

Not my time

Too fast, say that, way back

Hey, you’re not my mother

Can I get a witness?

I’m lookin' for a father

Hey, you ain’t my lover

Ain’t lookin' for another, lookin' for another

Don’t owe you nothin'

You don’t know me, I owe you

You don’t owe me somethin'

Don’t owe me somethin'

Don’t owe me, eh

Lies that travel faster than the truth

Hold it in, isn’t that how the man do?

Never can I catch your face

No solid ground, no nearer have I come

Lies travel faster than the truth

Hold it in, isn’t that how the man do?

No solid ground, no promised land

No nearer on the run, no nearer have I come

No solid ground, no promised land

All that we outrun, no nearer have I come

Orphanage hangin' off the Great Chinese Wall

Whispers cast and make an empty future call

Longitude, latitude, what I have best

No harness this beast

I don’t need to give back, unleash

Gratitude, shit

You gave, I didn’t ask for this shit

What you can’t have you won’t owe

Well, you don’t need to ask

With this attitude alone

I’ve bore this cross

Found a way home

Found a way home

Lies travel faster than the truth

Hold it in, isn’t that how the man do?

No solid ground, same song

All the way I run, no nearer have I come

Lies travel faster than the truth
