Body Slave - Janis Ian

Take me to the light

Take me to the mystery of life

Take me to the light

Let me see the edges of the night

He’s got the answer — we’ll live forever

Take me to the light, give me what I crave

He knows the meaning, he shows we’re dreaming

Take me to the light

And let me be your body slave

Body slave

She said — I wanted all the wealth and fame, fancy name

My life in lights, the time was right

And I was right for the role, but nobody liked me

He came along when my life was down, hit the the ground

I didn’t hesitate — we meditated

And he sated my soul

He took control

Now fame is just another illusion

My name will one day be forgotten

But in these times of confusion

I know that I have been chosen

Take me to the light

Take me to the mystery of life

Take me to the light

Let me see the edges of the night

He’s got the answer — we’ll live forever

Take me to the light, give me what I crave

He knows the meaning, he shows we’re dreaming

Take me to the light

And let me be your body slave

Body slave

She says — I never feel a sense of greed or of need

He will provide and I’ll survive

On the light of his love, begging on the freeways

He gives freely of all that’s learned, in return

Some minor favors like delivering the savior

A dollar or two or bringing you

Money’s just another confusion

And destiny can be an illusion

So let him be the one decide

You’ll go to paradise

Your soul’s the only price

Take me…

Take me to the light

Take me to the light

Take me to the mystery of life

Take me to the light

Let me see the edges of the night

Take me to the light

Take me to the mystery of life

Take me to the light

Let me see the edges of the night
