Patti Smith - Persuasion lyrics

What is the system that gets around

Recruits hearts with its timeless rhythm

The young glow but old men know

It's all a part of some crazy schism

Coming on like the dawn unrelenting light

Streets thick with its radiating

It's all aglow but we all know

True love is so complicated

Feeling funny don't know why

On a plane circling high

Equation persuasion

It's just persuasion

What is the body that has nobody

Go through life with nobody at all

It come and go where the wind blow

When persuasion come to call

Got me reeling don't know why

I'm on a plane circling high

Equation persuasion

Got the feeling I'm running in place

Caught in the orbit of the human race

Equation persuasion

It's just persuasion

It's jut persuasion

It's just persuasion

What is the body that has nobody

What is the rise without the fall

What is illusion without beauty

What is the system that's no system at all

Hey scout there's no equation

You can't prepare for the heart's invasion

You can't prepare for the heart's invasion

Love is its own
