"Neon Valley Street" lyrics - JANELLE MONAE

May this song reach your heart
May your ears love the sweet melody
Every note, every chord
I've arranged them for you and me

May the sound of my voice
Be your guide, bring you closer to me
Let us bathe in the noise
Let the love in your heart speak to me

For now, I'll pretend
I'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on to you

We met alone, forbidden in the city
Running fast through time, like Tubman and John Henry
But the time was wrong, illegal aliens moan
It's such a pity that the city's just a danger zone

Atomic blues bombing hearts like Iraqis in Babylon
And the droid control will take your soul
And rate it, berate, slay it
You hate it and debate it but you don't get caught
An outlaw outrunning the law, ha ha

May the strings make you smile
May they always remind you of me
For now let's pretend
I'm holding your hand

May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song reach your heart
May this song journey on for you

[Kevin Barnes:]
Confusion is a walrus
Yet there's still so much left for us to learn
I hear the riot community approaching
Take my hand, Jen, let's go talk to them
