Fundamental Things Lyrics & Tabs by Bonnie Raitt

Fundamental Things

guitar chords lyrics

Bonnie Raitt

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 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
