Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones (born November 8, 1954) is an American vocalist, musician, songwriter, and producer. Over the course of a career of over three decades, Jones has recorded in various musical styles including rock, R&B, blues, pop, soul, and jazz standards. Her songwriting has been characterized as "a blend of bravado and vulnerability [that] wavers on indefinable borders." She is also known for her unique singing style, especially in live performances. One concert reviewer, describing her rendering of "We Belong Together," states she "reached her apex, skating from swells into near screams into breathy whispers, from pontillist stacatto scats into brassy, trumpetlike bursts." more »

What you are you can never erase
It's here til the end of time
What you lost you will never replace
Still you're trying to find

You don't do it for god
You don't do it for love
You're back on the street because

It takes you there
It takes you there
It takes you there

What you have will never be enough
You will always want more
But lift me out, over one more night
All I want is what I was before

I don't do it for god
I don't do it for jesus
I'm back on the street because

It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there,
Oh

I had a dream
I know it seems so absurd
We all live in a house on a hill
Nobody has to say a word
I wake up
It's the middle of the night
The room is opening with love
I try to hold on to this golden light
But I fall hard from above

I don't do it for money
I don't do it for god
I'm back on the street because

It takes you there
Takes you there
It takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
Takes you there
