India
Us3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Visions of venus silky as she sat at the bar
She had me feenin', I really wanna know who you are
And what's the meaning
Legs like the strings of guitars
She got my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
But I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
"Can I talk to you"
She answered in a sexy motion, "Yes"
Her breath was like a magic potion
She had me floating in her private ocean
She said her name was India and then the door was open
You shoulda seen her, the way she moved her body so right
Like ballerinas
Can't get her outta my sight
In the background the sun melts and drips in the night
The scent of white roses taunting me, I'm acting polite
She got my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
It's like I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
And when she looked at me I tried but then I couldn't hold it
Sippin' on mineral water like the pharaohs daughter
It's like we're worlds apart but now I'm 'bout to cross her
border
She had the kinda face that could intoxicate
Her name was India, to be together was fate
You shoulda seen her, it's like time's slowed in its pace
Hearing a smooth song she came about an inch from my face
Grabbed my arm then we floated in a dance like space
Then she whispered "we can go to your place"
She had my body moaning, her body toning like hot sand
My eyes are roaming if only for the moment
It's like I can't control it, it's like my heart was stolen
And when she looked at me I tried but then I couldn't hold it
She said let's run away, let's burn the night and play
She said she had until the day before she goes away
And while the candlelight burned I held her in my arms
Her name was India and then she was gone

First heard this song in a bar 21 years ago in Spain - listened again for the first time in years. Can still see where and what I was doing, the power of music.
This song holds its weight and then some all this time later.
