Artist/Band: Patti Smith
Lyrics for Song: Persuasion
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2010]



What is the system that gets around

Recruits hearts with its timeless rhythm

The young glow but old men know

It's all a part of some crazy schism



Coming on like the dawn unrelenting light

Streets thick with its radiating

It's all aglow but we all know

True love is so complicated



Feeling funny don't know why

On a plane circling high

Equation persuasion

It's just persuasion



What is the body that has nobody

Go through life with nobody at all

It come and go where the wind blow

When persuasion come to call



Got me reeling don't know why

I'm on a plane circling high

Equation persuasion

Got the feeling I'm running in place

Caught in the orbit of the human race

Equation persuasion

It's just persuasion

It's jut persuasion

It's just persuasion



What is the body that has nobody

What is the rise without the fall

What is illusion without beauty

What is 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 its own
