The Move (part One) Lyrics

The Move (part One)

INANNA: What shall I do, my dear Ninshubur 



What shall I do with my life? 



I don't feel the love that once ran through me

INANNA: Do I want to be another? 



Do I want to run for cover? 



Even if we fly to Phoenicia 



If I'm Astarte, will they love her? 







Ninshubur, I'm getting kind of skeptical 



In my days, in universal time 



The human race might have no more to offer me 



Than honey, cakes and sacramental wine 







Ninshubur, a chill has just run through me 



And a thought keeps racing through my mind
