E.S.P. Lyrics

[Intro: Robin Gibb & Barry Gibb]
Dark is the night
High is the fire
Touches the sky
Love with no shape or form
I am in your mind's eye
Just let your dreams run wild

[Verse 1: Barry Gibb]
Somewhere, out across the nation
Someone, waiting in the shadows
Listen, I don't wanna hear
Return to, sender
Calling, I can see the future
Someday, signal with a single motion
Show me you believe in someone, somewhere

[Pre-Chorus: Robin Gibb]
Oh baby you, you give, me
You give me the runaround
Just another night, with, you
You're on my mind
And we got love
And love'll take you higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher
[Chorus: Barry Gibb & Robin Gibb]
E.S.P
I communicate with you
Tell me what it means to feel
What am I supposed to do
E.S.P
Nothing any words can say
Nothing that we know is real
But it'll take your breath away
Your breath away


[Verse 2]
Danger, suddenly an early warning
Suddenly the soul is burning
But I still believe in someone, somewhere

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge: Robin Gibb]
Be prepared to make your sacrifice, tonight
Far beyond the point of no return, oh no

[Coda]
And we got love
And love'll take you higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher, higher and higher
[Chorus]x repeat until fade

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
