Formwela 13 - Esperanza Spalding

Love the way you do that thing we do

Smiling with you cause I do it too

The smoke make and hiding, the smoke and hiding

Love the way I do that thing we do

Oh to be a humanoid

Smile with me cause you do it too

Who’s really out here blazing truth and trust and love

Nobody but Jesus

Ours is smoke the beautiful

And liquid spirit drowning in itself

To hide the other stuff

What do you know?

what do you know about earth?

The place you actually are

What do you know about

Heaven or the fantasy you’re holding out for

Where does it burn?

where does it really burn

The hell you had to walk through alone

Still there burning up

Anything good for you

By secret fires

We all can see

Burning up is beautiful

So beautiful

The smoke we make burning up

Is beautiful to me

You’re beautiful to me

Love the way you do that thing we do

The smoke make and hiding, the smoke and hiding

Love the way you do that thing we do

Smiling with you cause I do it too

The smoke make and hiding, the smoke and hiding

Love the way I do that thing we do

Oh the make-believe to be someone in the void

Smile with me cause you do it too

Who’s really out here blazing truth and trust and love

Nobody but Jesus

Ours is smoke the beautiful

And liquid spirit drowning in itself

Ours is smoke the beautiful

Unless we are it

Everybody is Jesus

Drowning it ourselves

To hide the other stuff

Where does it burn?

where does it really burn still?

That heaven is a fantasy there’s no escaping

What do you know?

what do you really know about earth?

The place you actually are

It’s hell you have to walk through alone

At times but love is there

In the place you actually are, too for you

You are made of the waters

That love the earth enough

To make the smoke we make clouds

The smoke we make burning up is beautiful to me

You’re beautiful to me

Love the way you do that thing we do

The smoke make and hiding

Or come on down to earth and show yourself

Give up the water vapors condensed all around

Each particle of smoke that makes you

That hides you

That makes you hide you!

Love the way I do that thing we do

The smoke we make burning up is beautiful to me

I’ll give it up if you will too

Give up the rain we could be

Give up the rain we could be
