Turn The World Down - Zucchero

Now and then

It’s night again

Like black ink pouring from a pen

Curse my eyes

For opening

I’m having trouble just recovering

And in those hours we gazed

Upon white sheets, torn back from a page

My heart is spent

Almost erased

Turn the world down

There’s nothing between?

All this beauty and this suffering?

Please if you know

Get the word out

Let the globe spin

Save everyone and everything.

Like a blade Keen and thin

Scimitar Soft like a maid

Beneath his skin

Upon this scene

Disgrace and sin

Where are you now?

Where have you been?

And in those hours we gazed

Upon red sheets, pulled back by the rage

My hearts are spent

Almost erased

Turn the world down

There’s nothing between

all this beauty and this suffering?

And if you know

Get the word out

Let the globe spin

Save everyone and everything

Turn the world down

There’s nothing between

all this beauty and this suffering?

My mind is all bent

It’s stamping my soul

I’m burning down

To tar and charcoal

To blood and ash

To feathers and trash

I gotta move

Turn the world down

There’s nothing between

all this beauty and this suffering?

And if you know

Get the word out

Let the globe spin

Save everyone and everything

Turn the world down

There’s nothing between

all this beauty and this suffering?

I gotta move

I wanna move

Now and then

It’s night again

It’s night again
