Bombay
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom, somewhere anywhere in L.A.
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me, I'm on my way back to Bombay
Bombay, bombay, bombay, bombay
Bombay, bombay, ain't gonna leave no trace
Bombay, bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, bombay, in the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay
I'm gonna trade my past for a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast, if I die
Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, kama, kama Sutra I surrender, I surrender
Bombay, bombay, bombay, bombay
Bombay, bombay, ain't gonna leave no trace
Bombay, bombay, gonna wash away my face
Bombay, bombay, in the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay
I'm gonna settle, I'm gonna stay in Bombay
Bombay, bombay, bombay, bombay
