Lyrics
THE BRIGHTNESS OF ORCHIDS - Suzanne Vick © 2009
There isn't any new rhythm here / there isn't any new spunk
I am without emotion / I'm in an awful funk
I'm without inspiration / my heart is hardened and dull
I write about my life and loves / and I think about the past
My life it seems to me is flying by me fast
Nothing I hold on to ever seems to last
CHORUS:
I need someone / to help me get myself out of my head
I need some kind of / fire to get me up and outta bed
I need to learn to / stop and smell the
brightness of orchids again
I need a funky new inhibition / to beat on into my head
The heat I once knew / and understood as / primal and good
It wouldn't take you very long / hell no, no effort at all
To give me something I could live for / to make me fall in love
I'm looking for someone to show me the way
To give me hope that lasts me all night and day
CHORUS to SOLO
