Hooked on Tragedy

You see no ship in the harbour

No match left to strike a light

You couldn't try any harder

To make a lie out of life

Unfolding everywhere is tragic fate

No-one can helpcause it's always too late

A little too late, always a little too late

{Refrain:}

You're hooked on tragedy

I'm hooked on life

You see darkness

Where I see light

You say we're victims

I say we don't fight

Yo yo mama I'm gonna tell you tonight

You heart the silence in between the spoken words

I hear the meaning that could change the world

I see the sunrise - you see the sunset

The better I feel - The worse you get

I'm going to Africa

I'm not gonna curl up and die here

I'm going to Africa

I'm gonna touch the flame inside the fire

{au Refrain}

I'm going to Africa

I'm not gonna curl up and die young

I'm going to Africa

I'm gonna reach out and touch the purple sun

{au Refrain}
