Lyrics
African Child
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.
I have crossed the mystic desert
To snap pictures of the poor
I've invited them to brunch
Let them crash out on my floor
There's sunshine in my veins
My kitchen's filled with flies
I'm crying out in vain
Like a little African child
Trapped in me
There's an African child
Trapped in me
There's a little African child trapped in me
All these rooms are cluttered with the spoils of my fame
My doors and windows shuttered I just can't keep out the rain
There's sunshine down in hell
My kitchen's filled with flies
I'm crying out for help
Like a little African child
Trapped in me
There's an African child
Trapped in me
There's a little African child trapped in me
All these blowjobs in limousines
What do they matters
What do they mean
To the little African child
Trapped in me
[African chant]
African child
Trapped in me
There's an African child
Trapped in me
There's a little African child trapped in me
There's a little African child trapped in me
There's a little African child trapped in me
