Bonnie Raitt The Fundamental Things Lyrics

The Fundamental Things Lyrics

Let's run naked through the city streets

We're all victims of captivity

Wear out madness like a crucifix

Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips



Let's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to simple skin on skin

Let's get back, yeah, to the fundamental things



Let's dance barefoot over broken glass

Slither like a snake does through the wet cold grass

Howl and tremble in a sleepless grind

Let's do the braindrain, leave it all behind



Let's get back to the fundamental things

Let's get back to the elements of style

Let's get back to simple skin on skin

Let's get back, yeah, to the fundamental things



You can sit in your room and worry

You can contemplate the end

Burn down a house behind you

Run bare-ass through the streets again

Well, let's get back



To the fundamental things, let's get back

To the elements of style, let's get back

Simple skin on skin, let's get back

To the fundamental things



You can hide out on your rooftop

Wishing you had never been

Go down to Hal's bar and grill

Maybe they'll find our innocence again



Let's get, c'mon baby, won't you get on back

Won't you get back, won't you get back

Oh, get on, these fundas

To the funda, to the fundamental things
