Spirit (2:51) Lyrics - Faith No More

She looked at me and did the bosa nova 

I smiled at her and then just walked away 

then the lights came on and it was over 

to my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all 

so I packed it up and took to a rock show... 

where you can feel the pulse getting stron 

ger 

& you can only hear the beat for so long 

I asked if there was any way to stop it 

No, he said, just smile and act as if... 

you worship the very ground on which they walk on... 

no way 

a temporary absence of gesture 

a hidden meaning known to everyo 

ne 

a slight misconception of leizure 

don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but 

spirit, excellence, further down the road, 

these are the tools you'll need further down the road. 

so lets pack it up and take it somewhere special... 

from a quin 

tessential, existential nightmare 

to a sanctuary waiting in the sun
