Sanctify*

(*for movie soundtrack, "City of Lights")

verse 1:
It’s like 11:13
Neither one of us could get to sleep
I got a meeting by the border
One chance to make this thing complete

So I rub on your shoulder
You can’t put it out of your head
I have to be strong enough for us
C’mon, babe – fold the sheets (“check”)

Bring an extra pillow
Do we have enough to eat?
This is a crucial journey for us
Time’s up – time to herd the sheep

He said he had a deal for us
I dissented – God, I hope I’m right
You say “Honey, keep focused”
I am – eyes on the sparrow for our journey tonight

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
“I need a second to think here …”

verse 2:
He’s a real smooth operator
Sade never sang no lie
I had a dead-man’s option
Man up, or in a ditch I’d die

You said you’d never let that happen
Circumstance, I thought I`d take that chance
But he threatened my baby
So, the Devil’s solo on that dance

I had a real cute notion
Something that puts joker’s wild
It was[whisper whisper whisper]
You said, “Honey, that’s why your soul is mine …”

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
“I need a second to think here …”

verse 3:
In the middle of the night
We made the scheduled drop
Not a vulture above
Not a siren by the cops

I made a visual gesture
The night swarmed in like wolves
It pays to be observant
I think that Satan’s card was pulled

Other than an imprint in me
The result of a paranoid man’s whim
It’s pacific as a lamb
Karma backtracks and befalls him

Now we’re driving towards the ocean
Horizon far as the eye can see
As we reach past the border, I say
“Baby, thank God you believed in me…”

Chorus:
Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine...”

Sanctify
Both of our lives
Make me feel better (ow!)
Sanctify
Love another
Keep us in motion
So …
“You wanna dine?”
“Alright.”
“Let’s stop a second over here …”
“How is the wine?”
“Tastes fine.”
"Let`s get the heck outta here ..."
