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 a glow but we all know
 True love is so complicated
 Feeling funny, don't know why
 I'm 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
 Feeling funny, don't know why
 I'm on a plane, flying too high
 Equation, persuasion
 It's just persuasion
 It's just persuasion
 It's just persuasion
 ♪
 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 just persuasion
 It's just persuasion
 ♪
 What's the body that has nobody
 Who's the rise without the fall
 What's illusion without beauty
 What's 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 this, some more equation
 Love is this, some more equation
 Love is this, some more equation
