Travel Songtext
von Meshell Ndegeocello

Balance, balance, balance
Bodies, bodies, bodies
Water, water, gold, water
Magic, gold, packed, dragged
Mercy, mercy, gold, mercy, breathin′, breathin'
Place, swollen, place
Place, place, arms, arms
Mouth, quiet, breathin′, space, breathin'

I've been flyin′
Naked, dyin′ behind
Now I go ahead just to see
How long I can breathe

Somewhere else to be
I'll stay away with all the work to be done
I′ll be bleedin' as you bake in the sun
Do I have to be good all the time when I can just leave?


How to measure weight like tissue, pressure (fried)
So long (crushin′), as my navigation (hunchin') is workin′, I know
No train (crowdin') in the station (tissue) is goin' so far (afar)
That you and your nation (tragic) will try to deny how much (pledge) you need me, me

(Pleasure, pleasure) somewhere else to be (pleasure, pleasure)
I′ll stay away all the work that I′ve done
And the races that I ran in your name
I keep risin' above all the time, but I can′t just leave

Space breathin'
(Under-under) one of you
Tissue (under-under), fire
Pleasure (under-under)
Culture, climate (magic), tissue (space-space)
Fried (under-under), closest (magic)
Pleasure, pleasure, pleasure (space-space)
Pleasure (under-under), pleasure, magic (one of you)

Some, somewhere else to be
Somewhere else to be (under-under one of you, magic)
Somewhere else to be (under-under)
Somewhere else to be (to be), somewhere else to be


Crushin′, culture (under-under), one of you
Climate (leavin'), tissue (under-under) (somewhere else to be)
Fry (magic), be glad, be glad (hmm-hmm)
Pleasure (hmm-hmm), pleasure, pleasure
Waitin′, waitin', waitin'
Waitin′, waitin′, waitin'
I can′t breathe
I can't breathe
