You’ve Got What it Takes

Sorting him out in the night, in vacant lots of darkness, shining truth aloud
With his pencilled-in eyes so light, half-man, half-witch of a stranger - wants out

So he called him a man, set in the sand exuding young one
Swayed and obeyed by the words that they bake

And he talks up his face, cheers when he makes the songs that he longs
They’re out on the stage, these brothers in arms

And he borrowed a mask and jewels from the past, he knows how to gaze
Checked out his bait in the garden of play

You like the sun: shining on,

Taking you out tonight, putting over there, to fright to fright to fright to fight to fright to fright
We're taking you out tonight putting you over there, pushing you out, to fright to fright to fight to fright tonight
Taking you out tonight putting you over there, pushing you out to fright to fright to fight to fright
Taking you out tonight putting you over there, pushing you down to fright to fright to fight to fright
Taking you out tonight pushing you over there, pushing you down pushing you over to fright to fright to fight to fright
We're taking you out tonight pushing you over there, pushing you down, to fright to fright to fight to fright
Taking you out tonight pushing you over there, pushing you down pushing you up, to fright to fright to fright



Sorting him up in the night, in vacant lots of darkness shinning truth aloud

And the hours of days, and days of the years, groomed for heightened sense of course
Pin upt and clear

He’s informed by his way and not by hearsay and views of the ones
He left on their arse in the god-ridden past

He’s a veritable man with red drops on his hands, this sage in a cage
Salt of the earth that all misunderstood

You like the sun: shining on,
(Repeat)

I feel you in me is that so bad to say?

You’ve got what it takes
You’ve got what it takes
You’ve got what it takes
