Sledgehammer
Peter Gabriel
you could have a steam train
if you'd just lay down your tracks
you could have an aeroplane flying
if you bring your blue sky back
all you do is call me
I'll be anything you need
you could have a big dipper
going up and down, all around the bends
you could have a bumper car, bumping
this amusement never ends
I want to be your sledgehammer
why don't you call my name
oh let me be your sledgehammer
this will be my testimony
show me round your fruitcage
'cos I will be your honey bee
open up your fruitcage
where the fruit is as sweet as can be
I want to be your sledgehammer
why don't you call my name
you'd better call the sledgehammer
put your mind at rest
I'm going to be-the sledgehammer
this can be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
let there be no doubt about it
sledge sledge sledgehammer
I've kicked the habit
shed my skin
this is the new stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
oh won't you show for me
and I will show for you
show for me, I will show for you
yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean you
only you
you've been coming through
going to build that power
build, build up that power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
going to feel that power, build in you
come on, come on, help me do
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
it's what we're doing, doing
all day and night
---------------------------------------------------with blankness starring back at me
and screaming from the pages
i feel the fear of apathy
gripping me, pushing me
on top of everything
in the corner with a view
i turn off the fluorescent tubes
this is the bomb that i've been waiting for (looking for)
you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
yes, you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
with nothingness on top of me
and bleeding from my folder
who can stop the emptiness
don't let it take me over
i've been sinking down
further into nothing
ive been waiting long
longer than for some things
this is the bomb that i've been waiting for (living for)
you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
yes, you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
and you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
yes, you finally lit the fuse
thats in my head
