While dancing at Detroit's Club X (oh 1996, you were so fun...), I saw a girl I'd had a crush on way back in high school. Still totally captivated by her, I basically just danced while staring at her the whole night. I really didn’t want to be doing that, though, because she clearly was not deserving of my attention. (She was a snobby rich girl to the core. You know the type!) By the end of the night, the line "why can't I ignore her" was repeating in my head. So, I stayed up extra late that evening, and this song is the result.
lyrics
I pray that time will stop and let me take this in. If thou shall not secretly love, I've lost my heart to sin. Everything is under my control. So, tell me heaven, why can't I ignore her?
She dances with herself, as I try to stare in her eyes. But her eyes are always closed. My heart beat syncs with the time. Everything is under my control. So, tell me heaven, why can't I ignore her?
I can't stand spinning around, pretending to pretend she's not there. But I'm spinning even faster now. I'll lose her in the blur. Everything is under my control. So, tell me heaven, why can't I ignore her?
I have been a fan & Echo Image evangelist for over 20 year. I was excited for this new EP. It did not disappoint. This has all the power and synthpop from early releases like Skulk & the Compuphonic LP. I hope a new LP will come from this. Jeff Burson - SYNTHscape radio program
