|
I can't deal with all this undergrowth talk |
|
It just trips my feet and tangles up my thoughts |
|
You're trying to sell me your new faith |
|
Tell me why you'd do it |
|
And your hands are clenched |
|
And you're talking low |
|
With your eyes like flames |
|
Your voice like snow |
|
Someone dug a pit for you and you fell right into it. |
|
Tell me how the universe was meant to be |
|
Take another sip of your cola |
|
You be the colonel of the cavalry |
|
I'll be Francis |
|
Ford Coppola |
|
We'll go together through the jungle night ' |
|
Til the moon and stars fade out of sight |
|
Waiting for the dawn to come |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Here in Angola |
|
I can't remember how you got this way |
|
I can still recall you in a younger day |
|
The earnestness still drips off you like butter |
|
And you fling round words in a holy war |
|
And you look so vague, but seem so sure |
|
Don't you ever just want to break right down and stutter |
|
Tell me how the universe was meant to be |
|
Take another sip of your cola |
|
You be the colonel of the cavalry |
|
I'll be Francis |
|
Ford Coppola |
|
We'll go together through the jungle night ' |
|
Til the moon and stars fade out of sight |
|
Waiting for the dawn to come |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Ah, why don't you let it go |
|
Ah, you'd be too wise to know |
|
That time will get you anyway |
|
It's at your door today. |
|
I can't deal with these periscope views |
|
And the caveman scrawl that you call news |
|
Hey, why don't you make a not to cancel your next visit |
|
Well, I knew that things were getting out of control |
|
When you found your faith and lost your soul |
|
If there's something you'd rather die than compromise |
|
What is it? |
|
Tell me how the universe was meant to be |
|
Take another sip of your cola |
|
You be the colonel of the cavalry |
|
I'll be Francis |
|
Ford Coppola |
|
We'll go together through the jungle night |
|
As the moon and stars fade out of sight |
|
Waiting for the dawn to come |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Here in Angola |
|
Here in Angola |
