Lyrics
Africa Talks To You
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.
Must be a rush for me
To see a lazy
A brain he meant to be
Copout? he's crazy!
But who's believing who?
Who's doin' the fishin'?
Do what you want to do
Or you can keep on wishin'
Timber...all fall down
Timber...who's around?
Watch out, 'cause the summer gets cold
When today gets too old
Must be a rush for you
To see a lazy
In his backyard he grew
Copout? he's crazy!
When life means much to you
Why live for dying?
If you are doing right
Why are you crying?
Timber...all fall down
Timber...who's around?
Watch out, 'cause the summer gets cold
When today gets too old
Timber!
Timber!
