Name: Washington Karate Association
Duration: P00H03M02S
Description: I started writing this in Burkina Faso and finished it in Benin. It's quite a personal song about my relationship with my, then, traveling companion, the American woman I met in India. It's tough traveling with the same person day in and day out, really tough. It's actually her singing on this track.

about

I started writing this in Burkina Faso and finished it in Benin. It's quite a personal song about my relationship with my, then, traveling companion, the American woman I met in India. It's tough traveling with the same person day in and day out, really tough. It's actually her singing on this track.

lyrics

Do you love me? Yes I do, and you have and I have the kisses to prove. Sex is an urge and nothing more, it's just lazy hands for the automatic doors. You tickle and defy me, sometimes you try and lie to me, but I know your face too well. My heart needs a megaphone.
I break my face with a smile that replaces every doubt and every other hand you hold. My air is serene although I'm tossing currency over whether to stay or to go. A towering confession has me locked in contemplation, sinking in its shadow; my heart needs a megaphone.
Washington Karate Association is where I learned to become a punch-bad and turned internally. So I return loyally but with questions on my mind. Do you love me? Yes I do, and you have and I have the kisses to prove clemency.
