Al Stewart - Here in Angola lyrics

I can't deal with all this undergrowth talk It just trips my feet and tangles up my thoughts You're trying to sell me your new faith Tell me why'd you do it And your hands are clenched And you're talking low With your eyes like flames Your voice like snow Someone dug a pit for you And you fell right into it Tell me how the universe was meant to be Take another sip of your cola You be the colonel of the cavalry I'll be Francis Ford Coppola We'll go together through the jungle night As the moon and stars fade out of sight Waiting for the dawn to come Here in Angola Here in Angola I can't remember how you got this way I can still recall you in a younger day The earnestness now drips off you like bu*ter And you fling 'round words in a holy war And you look so vague but seem so sure Don't you ever just want to break right down and stutter Tell me how the universe was meant to be Take another sip of your cola You be the colonel of the cavalry I'll be Francis Ford Coppola We'll go together through the jungle night Till the moon and stars fade out of sight Waiting for the dawn to come Here in Angola Here in Angola Why don't you let it go You'd be too wise to know That time will get you anyway It's at your door today I can't deal with these periscope views And the caveman scrawl that you call news Hey, why don't you make a note to cancel your next visit I knew that things were getting out of control When you found your faith and lost your soul If there's something you'd rather die than compromise What is it Tell me how the universe was meant to be Take another sip of your cola You be the colonel of the cavalry I'll be Francis Ford Coppola We'll go together through the jungle night As the moon and stars fade out of sight Waiting for the dawn to come Here in Angola Here in Angola Here in Angola Here in Angola
