move your body in a circle
make a picture make it purple
i'm a bad man i do bad things
i am seven sons
and the body sings

in a muscle, in a tendon
in my blood i need to stop pretending
stretch it out now curl up tight
and the body sings
in the twilight

i can't move or i can't stop moving
no matter what i do i can't keep from improving
tripping down the stairs i fall and shatter bones and hit my head

legs to propel hands for grasping
an image of a sunset over time lapsing
and the tears fall and then i'm dry
and the body sings as i turn a blind eye

there's an earthquake there's a flooding
there's a cut and the countertops are bloody
i hear the wind blow i smell the fire
and my body sings i turn it up higher

break dance break down
see it smell it touch it taste it in the waves made by the sound
i am seven sons
i am just right
and the body sings in the morning light

i have senses combination
happy birthday congratulations
like the president like the saudi kings
like clockwork the body sings
