Lyrics
0:28What is the system that gets around
0:35Recruits hearts with it's timeless rhythm
0:42The young glow but old men know
0:49It's all a part of some crazy schism
1:02Comin' on like the dawn unrelentin' light
1:06Streets thick with it's radiatin'
1:09It's all a glow but we all know
1:13True love is so complicated
1:17Feelin' funny don't know why
1:20I'm on a plane circlin' high
1:23Equation persuasion
1:30It's just persuasion
1:42Who needs the body that has nobody
1:49Go through life with nobody at all
1:56It come and go where the wind blow
2:03When persuasion comes to call
2:06Feelin' funny don't know why
2:10I'm on a plane flying too high
2:13Invasion persuasion
2:21It's just persuasion
2:24It's just persuasion
2:27It's just persuasion
3:00Got me reelin' don't know why
3:03I'm on a plane circling high
3:06Equation persuasion
3:14Got the feeling I'm runnin' in place
3:17Caught in the orbit of the human race
3:20Invasion persuasion
3:28It's just persuasion
3:31It's just persuasion
3:35It's just persuasion
3:45Who needs the body that has nobody
3:49Who needs the rise without the fall
3:52Who needs illusion without beauty
3:55Who needs the system that's no system at all
4:06Hey scout there's no equation
4:09You can't prepare for the heart's invasion
4:13You can't prepare for the heart's invasion
4:16Love is it's own persuasion
4:20Love is it's own persuasion
4:23Love has it's own persuasion
What is the system that gets around Recruits hearts with it's timeless rhythm The young glow but old men know It's all a part of some crazy schism Comin' on like the dawn unrelentin' light Streets thick with it's radiatin' It's all a glow but we all know True love is so complicated Feelin' funny don't know why I'm on a plane circlin' high Equation persuasion It's just persuasion Who needs the body that has nobody Go through life with nobody at all It come and go where the wind blow When persuasion comes to call Feelin' funny don't know why I'm on a plane flying too high Invasion persuasion It's just persuasion It's just persuasion It's just persuasion Got me reelin' don't know why I'm on a plane circling high Equation persuasion Got the feeling I'm runnin' in place Caught in the orbit of the human race Invasion persuasion It's just persuasion It's just persuasion It's just persuasion Who needs the body that has nobody Who needs the rise without the fall Who needs illusion without beauty Who needs the system that's no system at all Hey scout there's no equation You can't prepare for the heart's invasion You can't prepare for the heart's invasion Love is it's own persuasion Love is it's own persuasion Love has it's own persuasion
