Allow (Alternate Mix) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Björk]
The warm, open wind on my skin
Primordial plants glistening
With moisture directed at me, erect
My hair fossilized with salt and crust

[Chorus: Emilie Nicolas & Björk]
Allow, allow, allow
Allow you to grow
(Allow)
Allow, allow, allow, allow
Allow, allow, allow, allow me
Me to grow


[Verse 2: Björk]
I look up at the treetops
I will braid those twigs together
Create a cathedral ceiling above me
How I long to float there midair
Between the branches amongst impossible magic

[Chorus: Björk, Emilie Nicolas]
Allow, allow, allow
Allow you
Allow, allow, allow it to happen
Allow, allow, allow (Ooh)
[Outro: Emilie Nicolas]
I made a moon
A translucent one
Now could I cut it out into something
Cut it out for someone like you
How mysterious I must feel to you
The universe and the sky too
My little phoеnix
When you burst out a song from my lips

[Björk]
Don't make one morе effort, just drop it

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 [?]
