Pleasure Dome Songtext
von Soul II Soul

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
My pleasure dome

Oh, father, what is this that we′ve become?
Hopelessly, we journey on
Seems there's nowhere else to run
(We can′t run, we can't hide, we can't run away)
Then he said to smile
You′ve never lead your faith derail
You′ve always tried to do your best
Now trust in me, I'll do the rest (I′ll do the rest)

Because I'm gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (take you higher)
Because you′re worthy of the ride to come along
(Now that you've won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome


Mmh, because I′m gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (take you higher)
I'm gonna give you space and time to get along
(Now that you've won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome

Oh father, what about the little ones?
They wiser yet they struggle along
Will they ever see the sun? (your sun proof shadows me, let them see you)
′Cause they′re fighting, they hope tomorrow will come
They scattered all in search of one (searching for the one)

Mmh, come and take us all (ooh-ooh)
You're finally here to stay
You′re standing in the face of change
Mother, mother, mother (mother, mother)
Dry your heaping eyes (ooh-ooh)
I've heard your cry what I say is that (ooh-ooh)

I′ll take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (take you higher)
Because you're worthy of the ride to come along
(Now that you′ve won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome


I'm gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (take you higher)
I'm gonna give you space and time to get along
(Now that you′ve won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome

I′m gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (everybody, take you higher)
Because you're worthy of the ride to come along (you′re welcome)
Just gather what you need when you leave (now that you've won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome (you′re welcome)

All of my children, you're welcome yeah, I′m gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (no more suffering, take you higher)
I'm gonna give you space and time to get along (no cause of wither)
(Now that you've won)
Welcome to my pleasure dome

All of the struggle is over now, I′m gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (take you higher, better believe it)
Because you′re worthy of the ride to come along
(Now that you've told me)
Welcome to my pleasure dome

You′re welcome, what I say is done
I'm gonna take you (places)
And show you places you will never know (come on in, take you higher)
