Janis Ian Body Slave Lyrics:
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 know 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 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 know 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 to decide.
You'll go to paradise.
Your soul's the only price.

Take me.

[Instrumental break.]

Take me, take me.
Take me to the light.

[The words "promise me," are sung behind the following lines:]

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,
Take me to the edges of the night.
