African Night Flight Lyrics by David Bowie
(from the album Lodger)
African Night Flight Lyrics
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
Gotta get a word to Elizabeth's father
Hey no, he wished me well
CHORUS 1 (two times)
Seemed like another day
I could fly into the eye of god on high
CHORUS 2 (two times)
His burning eye will see me through
One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get a word through one of these days
CHORUS 3 (two times)
Asanti habari habari habari
Asanti nabana nabana nabana
Getting in mood for a Mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna 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
CHORUS 1 (two times)
Over the bushland over the trees
Wise like Orangutan that was me
CHORUS 2 (two times)
CHORUS 3 (repeat ad inf.)
