Available Lyrics

5am in the morning
Ravers getting me down
Had to stop the world from spinnin’, spinnin’ round
I don’t need no company
Horizon be my friend
My wildest thoughts I’d follow, to the end

On a lonely highway
This world is mine
On a lonely highway
This united state of mind, state of mind

Pleasure was my master
Wasting all my time
Searchin’ for what came after
Couldn’t find

Take me from my shadow
Let me see the light
I been down the killing floor
Gangsta ride, yeah

On a lonely highway
This world is mine
On a lonely highway
This united state of mind, state of mind

On a lonely highway
This world is mine
On a lonely highway
This united state of mind, state of mind…

Tell me are we just people?
Or should we reach for something more
Is living just for living?
The way it is I’m not so sure

Every day is another question
To things we can’t control
I still romance with the future
But wishing won’t make it so

Are we just people?
Or is there really something more to be found?

Should we just keep pushing
I’m thinking I should take some time
No I’m not messing lord
You know I’m waiting for the sign

Angels we believe in
Like legends to behold
Golden days forever
But wishing won’t make it so

Are we just people?
Or is there really something more to be found?

Everyday we ask the question
Lost in love with the future
But your wishing won’t make it so

Are we just people?
Or is there really something more to be found?

Are we just people?

Damned if she ain’t got the world falling at her feet
Damned if she catches you and drives you to the beat
Cool down in St Tropez, to the heights of LA
What she won’t do for money don’t come into play

Crucify you like Zsa Zsa
Let the games begin
For goodness sake mama
How you feelin’ then

The creatures got diamond eyes
And a heart of cool
I’m gone
I’m love

Experience is a notion until you’ve tried
Way she pays emotion perfect crime
Eyes wide open
Thought I knew the score
She’d be asking for nothing
But taking more and more

Crucify you like Zsa Zaza
Just Let the games begin
For goodness sake heartbreakin’ mama
How you feelin’ then
For goodness sake god forsaken mama
You got the world and then
The creatures got diamond eyes
And a heart of cool
I’m gone
For sure I’m love

Who could murder like Zsa Zsa
The girl goes out to win
The creatures got diamond eyes
And a heart of cool
I’m know
I know

Walking wounded I think I’ve fallen down
Big old empty room
Where silence is a sound
Like a bullet to my heart my head is spinnin’ round
Feeling less more loneliness
Love has shut me down

My head is anointed
I’ve gotta push on through
Can’t be here disappointed
Cos I know What I gotta do
Walking Wounded
I think I’m falling down
The big old empty room
With no one around
Love shut me down

Bless her heart and soul
There’s no way she could’ve known
How the devil played the part
In the damage that’s been done
No trace no evidence
No smokin’ gun
Walking Wounded
Shut me down

Walking wounded I think I’ve fallen down
Big old empty room
Where silence is a sound
Like a bullet to my heart my head is spinnin’ round
Feeling less more loneliness
Love has shut me down

So many people wanting
Tell me who’ll be the one to give
Why so many wanting
Just so they can live

It’s so hard just to catch a vibe
When you’re trying to survive yeah

Sunrise Revolution
Sunrise Revolution yeah

Too many politicians
Answers way too few
Taking up positions
Not for me, not for me and you

If one’s for all and all’s for one
Then justice will be done
Ooh ooh ooh

Sunrise Revolution
Sunrise Revolution yeah

Maybe the time will come
When we will stand as one
Ooh ooh ooh

Sunrise Revolution
Sunrise Revolution yeah

Talking out in riddles
Gotta read between the lines
Deep in the shadows hidden
Sincerity is hard to find oh

When need is of no concern
To those who never learn
We bring

A Sunrise Revolution yeah

Maybe the time has come
Where we shall stand as one
Yeah yeah yeah
Ooh ooh

A Sunrise Revolution yeah

Then a time will come
When we shall stand as one
Mmm

To make the roof come down
The house is on fire, we can take it higher
Let’s turn it inside out

Nothing could be sweeter when the music hits ya
Let it play play play
The temperature’s rising, oh perfect timing

Going high up, up in the brain
Party people live til’ we die

Ready to up and fly

The feeling so good inside
There’s a reason
For all the things that we live and learn ooh

It’s a season
Let it go now
We take our turn yeah
No indecision
Ready to up and fly

It’s a good day and the feeling’s alright

Brave life Big skies
That’s where it all begins
Starlight show me the way

When I hear the guitar man play

It’s the voice of a new generation
Rivers runnin’
Streamin’ with a new vibration yeah

There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
Still need to find the right words to say
Oh Baby

If I should ever lose your love
And I had never given enough
Never gave enough of me

Can we find a way ooh
Find that special place where our love came from
Came from
Came from

Take me back to tomorrow
We planted seeds so let them grow
Just treasure what we have and let it grow

Can we find a way ooh
Find that special place where our love came from
Came from
Came from

About Album

Three legendary million selling artists singer/songwriter Maxi Priest, (Close to you, Wild World” and the album Bonafide) guitarist Robin Trower, (Bridge of Sighs), and producer/mix engineer and musician Livingstone Brown (Tina Turner, Kylie Minogue, Corrine Bailey Rae, The Waterboys, Bill Withers).

Listening to ‘United State of Mind’ for the first time, you will hear it’s far more than just an intriguing curio for fans and collectors. Maxi, Livi and Robin have done an exceptional job at extending the hand of collaboration successfully, whilst simultaneously stamping their own unique trademarks throughout, with no compromise whatsoever. Neither reggae nor rock, the results – a commercial sounding, vibey, driving album worthy of a place in any record collection, let alone for fans of their solo efforts.

This timeless organic album, “United State Of Mind” speaks volumes, especially in the current state of the world today, lyrically, musically and emotionally .
