Election Day -- Arcadia -- Lyrics

Election Day -- Arcadia

Charted: 1985
Peaked at #6
Capitol -- 5501
From the album "So Red The Rose"
B-Side "She's Moody And Grey, She's Mean And She's Restless"
Narration by Grace Jones

Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon, she turning away
The city's her slave
He`s cheating his mistress

She's moody and grey
She's mean and she's restless (so restless)
All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell
At the strike force
Hi, guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal

It's making your saviour
Behaviour look evil

Maximum big suprise
Your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound
To suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

Stretching my love down the way
To your invitation
Stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
Maybe we have more
Play time than money

Maximum big suprise
She knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to
Suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day

(Grace Jones' narration)
By roads and backways
A lover's chance down a wind
Cut open murmurs and sounds
Be calm, hands on skin
Saving some time to slip away
We could dance

Shouldn't be asking
Wild and scheming
Could be my election day

Maximum big suprise
You know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound
To suffer this heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Re-election day
