Hooked on tragedy — текст песни (Johnny Clegg and Savuka)

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

CHORUS:
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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
