Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o'things
Tracy Chapman
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way.
Tracy Chapman
Who took away the part so essential to the whole Left you a hollow body Skin and bone.
Tracy Chapman
People's real hopes and dreams can be distorted and misdirected and packaged until you're not sure what you really want or what you even really need.
Tracy Chapman
Love's a recurring theme through my work.
Tracy Chapman
I don't want someone to squeeze me, that might take away my life. Just want someone to hold me, and we'll rock through the night.
Tracy Chapman
I see some recurring themes: things that feel threaded together, some symbolic references, and songs about some of the big questions, like death. There are a lot of references to weather, too!
Tracy Chapman
