Testo Still I Rise - Barry Adamson
Testo della canzone Still I Rise (Barry Adamson), tratta dall'album As Above So Below
And still I rise
God beams down from his Red velour chaise longue where he scans "Thigh High" magazine and just gets right on with the business in hand. His reverence is interrupted by the sounds of seduction and keeping himself in check he screams "who the hell else is here, show thyself that I may be at peace once more" but...
