Deep in the Bottom (of Africa) - Monique Bingham & Black Coffee

The berth surrounding my body, crushing every bit of bone The salt, it seeps in through the pores of my open skin I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue Welcome to my cage, little lover Attempt to rearrange with you, baby Still don't know your name, miss honey Let's go up in flames, pretty lady The sweet surrender of silence forces me to live alone Locked and loaded, where the hell is peace of mind? I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue sea I wait on you inside the bottom of the deep blue Welcome to my cage, little lover Attempt to rearrange with you, baby Still don't know your name, miss honey Let's go up in flames, pretty lady Welcome to my cage, little lover Attempt to rearrange with you, baby Still don't know your name, miss honey Let's go up in flames, pretty lady The bottom of the deep blue sea The bottom of the deep blue sea Welcome to my cage, little lover Attempt to rearrange with you, baby Still don't know your name, miss honey Let's go up in flames, pretty lady Welcome to my cage, little lover Attempt to rearrange with you, baby Still don't know your name, miss honey Let's go up in flames, pretty lady

Now they gonna try to break us down, Dont let them, said its alright! They gonna try to trip us up, Dont let them, we got a great life! Even when we lose we win, Deep on the side of the fight we in, Try us they might, yes, You and me against the world, baby! Things have been discouraging, But its been like that since the very beginning, Decide even despite this you and me against the World! Oh, oh, oh! You and me baby, keep, keep hustling! Oh, oh, oh! You and me baby, against the world! Now they gonna try to twist us up, Dont mind, I feel strong! Yeah! And they could try to resist us, I got pride and aha! Even stand, Cause weve been solid from the day this began, Dont mind! You gotta try this, You and me against the world, baby! If you wanna take a stand You got to love night youve never planned! All right, you got it try this You and me against the world! You and me, baby! keep, keep hustling, keep hustling! You got us driving too slow And now were on the same old hard road again! Need you to save a smile, like gonna remember, You made that wind come back around! It seems real tough, If you can say with pride that you ever tried Everything that you can think of! Cause they ride you to the top floor, Ride you till you drop yours, With me baby against the world! And they can shake you You and me against the world! Things have been discouraging, But its been like that since the day this begin You and me against the world! (x2

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome Haven't slept a wink I walk the floor and watch the door And in between I drink Black coffee Love's a hand me down brew I'll never know a Sunday In this weekday room I'm talking to the shadows One o'clock til four And Lord, how slow the moments go When all I do is pour Black coffee Since the blues caught my eye I'm hanging out on Monday My Sunday dreams, to dry Now man is born to go a'lovin A woman's born to weep and fret To stay at home and tend her oven And drown her past regrets in coffee and cigarettes I'm moonin all the mornin' Mournin' all the night And in between it's nicotine And not much heart to fight Black coffee Feelin' low as the ground It's driving me crazy This waiting for my baby to maybe come around
