Cosmosis Lyrics by Tony Allen

There Is No End

2021

[Tony Allen]
Cosmosis
[Verse 1: Ben Okri]
Let’s talk about the science
Of how things break
How the heart breaks
How the age founders, shatters
With no one listening
How the mind quakes
How we lose all that matters
Oh, the music of the bones
Music of seige and white stones
Let’s talk about the art
Of how things break
Things that were hard to make
Things like peace, and love, and mead
How the nations shape
How the good is lost to the fake
Oh, brief change by osmosis
Change and the music of Cosmosis
But Sufis sing about
The music of how things turn
Things the other ones want to bury or burn
Things like unity, friendship, relativity
Things that when dead, we'll mourn
How the music runs in this stream
How can we in these troubled times dream?
Oh there are spirits dancing in the slipstream
Howl and fire in a drum dream
[Chorus: Skepta]
Yeah
She was looking for a prince
Oh now she’s hitting the road
She tried kissing a frog
Oh now she’s licking a toad
Spiritual girl, she’s got a story to tell
She taught me to love myself, forget everyone else
Forget and I forgive, I don’t give it attention
How you feel about me?
Uh, It's just a reflection
I’m out of my ego, I’m back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
[Bridge: Tony Allen]
Cosmosis
Cosmosis
Yeah, man
[Verse 2: Ben Okri & Tony Allen]
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns
Cosmosis
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns
Yeah
It began with water
Cosmosis
And still, they drown, and still, they drown
Yeah, man
On the margins of Europe
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns
The present moment began with fire
And still, it burns
It began with water
And still, they drown, still, they drown
It began with air, see how the bombs fall
On houses made of sand
Dreams made of flesh
[Chorus: Skepta]
She was looking for a prince
Oh now she’s hitting the road
She tried kissing a frog
Oh now she’s licking a toad
Spiritual girl, she’s got a story to tell
She taught me to love myself, forget everyone else
Forget and I forgive, I don’t give it attention
How you feel about me?
Uh, It's just a reflection
I’m out of my ego, I’m back into space
Hold me in your arms and feel the connection
[Outro: Tony Allen & Ben Okri]
Yeah
The world’s going to change because Cosmosis
Check it out
When will this story of our nation
Change and shine?
Cosmosis
Cosmosis
(Muffled)
Oh there are spirits dancing in the slipstream
Howl and fire in a drum dream
