REVOLVE LIKE THE MOON a collab by Voo and Terry the Madd Poet

 

Spinning The Wheel by George Michael

instrumental......start now......

Revolve

(Like The Moon Does)

Me

He revolves around me

Dancing a little silky two step

Sing-song-ing a scrap of lyric

He found on a stoop somewhere

After midnight when the winos were asleep.

That boy always singing! Always dancing!

Makes you feel good to be alive

To be around him on a dreary day

Revolve, girl! he tells me, smiling

Revolve! Like the moon does!

Him

And as the earth does!

This is where the birth was.

As you take your 360 degree turn,

I am watching. And so I shall too.....REVOLVE...

We formulate...

the figure eight.

lighting our footprints.

this is pure pleasure to me.

hungry for a never ending story.

But never worry.....We're ..... REVOLVING!

Me

And then he grins

And the world lights up with his joy

We lock arms and run through the intersection

Car horns blowing like trumpets

People screaming curses

That sound to our ears like blessings.

Run up to the hill

And the abandoned club house

Where the old folks say

You can still hear Louie Armstrong

Belting out his happy blues

In a smoky whisper.

Him

ON THE HILL..

TIME STANDS STILL

All except the pitter patter

of our footsteps

creating the melody of dancing poetry.

oh, what a feel, of genuine truth

as we revolve still...

longevity lives

Atop that hill.

Me

Then he turns to me

And says, See that moon?

It's already shining in your eyes

That's where I want to live forever

And I say, On the moon?

And he laughs, No, girl, in your eyes!

And he revolves around me

Dancing, singing

Holding his heart out in his hand

Until I become so dizzy

That I fall straight into his beckoning orbit

And without realizing.....

Into the mad thing called Love.
