Paroles de 'The Voice (#1)' par Prince

Bang! - A gunshot rings out
13-year-old baby falls 2 the ground
See the killer runnin' down the street
Tell me killer, can U hear the sound?

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain
Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again
Oh, sighin' like a woman on fire when she's ready 4 some of your love
The voice is just a-steady-callin' until U give in, until U give up

Ching! - Mr. Politician goes on vacation
Bring along a friend or 2
In the disguise of taxes
Mr. Politician (sends) sends the bill, huh, 2 U know who
Can't U hear it?

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain (Oh)
(Cryin') Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again
Can't U hear the voice?

And oh yes, the nightsticks are still singin'
4-part harmony on brother's back
Justice is doomed when we don't start no S-H
And there's still some I-T and all that
People, can't U hear it?

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain
Tappin', tappin', tappin' and a...
Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again
Talkin' about the voice, y'all

Huh, suky, suky now
(Tap) {repeated in BG}
Can't U hear?
Can't U hear it just a tappin' now?
Tap on it, tap on it, hey
Do it, now

Can't U see it's just dirty money? (Tap)
If your brother man is dyin' in the flow (Tap)
Take off these chains (T-tap)
And listen 2 the voice callin' (Tap)
We gotta go, gotta go, oh (T-tap)

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain
Said the voice is just a cryin'
(Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again)

5-4-3-2-1, keep the war over
But how many wanna keep the peace? (How many) (Peace) (Tap {repeated in BG})
We keep buildin' guns when we need 2 build love
Cuz that's when the war will cease
U know it,
Uh, can't U hear the..
Uh, can't U hear the..
I-I-I-I'm talkin' about the voice, y'all

Tap, tap, tappin' on your window like a fallin' rain (Ooh hoo)
Cryin' like a baby in a cradle sayin' pick me up again (Ooh hoo)
Sighin' like a woman on fire when she's ready 4 some of your love
The voice is just a-steady-callin' until U give in, until U give up
