African Night Flight

[Verse 1] African nightmare one-time Mormon More men fall in Hullabaloo men I slide to the nearest bar Undermine chairman I went too far Bent on a windfall Rent a sony Wonder How the dollar went down Got to get a word to Elizabeth's father Hey no, he wished me well Seemed like another day I could fly Into the eye of god on high His burning eye will see me through One of these days, one of these days Got to get a word through one of these days [Chorus] Asante habari habari habari Asante nabana nabana nabana [Verse 2] Getting in mood for a Mombasa night flight Pushing my luck, going to fly like a mad thing Bare strip takeoff Skimming over Rhino Born in slumber less than peace Struggle with a child Whose screaming dreaming Drowned by the props all steely sunshine Sick of you, sick of me Lust for the free life Quashed and maimed Like a valuable loved one Left unnamed Seemed like another day I could fly Into the eye of god on high Over the bush land over the trees Wise like Orangutan that was me His burning eye will see me through One of these days, one of these days Got to get a word through one of these days [Chorus] Asante habari habari habari Asante nabana nabana nabana
