Sometimes the world has a load of questions
Seems like the world knows nothing at all
The world is near, but it's out of reach
Some people touch it, but they can't hold on
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Is moving to describe the world
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Has messages for everyone
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Is moving by remote control
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
Hands (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
That guide her are invisible
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
The world has a way of looking at people
Sometimes we feel that the world is wrong
She loves the world, and all the people in it
She shakes 'em up when she start to walk
Is only partly human being (so say so, so say so)
(She wanna define) she (divine to define, she is moving to define)
Defines the possibilities (so say so, so say so)
(She wanna define) hol- (divine to define, she is moving to define)
-Ding on for an eternity (so say so, so say so)
(She wanna define) gone (divine to define, she is moving to define)
The ending, without finishing (so say so, so say so)
The world moves on a woman's hips
The world moves, and it swivels and bops
The world moves on a woman's hips
The world moves, and it bounces and hops
A world of light, she's gonna open our eyes up
A world of light, she's gonna open our eyes up
She gonna hold it, move it, (hold) hold it, move it
Hold, move, hold, (hold) hold it, move it
A world of light, she's gonna open our eyes up
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Is moving to describe the world
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Has messages for everyone
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
She (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
Is moving by remote control
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
Hands (night must fall, now!) (She has got to move the world)
That guide her are invisible
(Darker! Darker!) (To move the world, to move the world)
World of light, she's gonna open our eyes up
World of light, she's gonna open our eyes up
She gonna hold it, move it, (hold) hold it, move it
Hold, move, hold, (hold) hold it, move it
World of light, she's gonna open our eyes up"
