lyrics

you laid yourself to rest a long, long time ago
tired of all your hard work and having nothing to show
buried yourself in a cave and you locked us out
but we're in a bad, bad way, and we could use you now

come alive, deep dark woman
we need you, deep dark woman
come alive, deep dark woman
we need you more than ever, deep dark woman

you curled your thick black mane around your face
took all your beautiful wisdom and you slipped away
well now it's the same in the jungle as it is in the street
and the key to our only salvation is to make you see

come alive...

if truth is beauty, you'd be the neutron bomb
shaving the dead skin off a world gone wrong

i can see you now, deep dark woman
shine your black light o'er all our imperfections
come to light tonight
we need you now
