Bedouin Soundclash - Elongo lyrics

rate me

The last of some bad debris

Falls through the coconut trees

Twilight claims me

in Trincomalee.

Through restaurant radios

Came a calypso

Stood with elongo

Inside a shadow.

Elongo how long though

from here to san pedro

we draw lines in the sand.

Elongo how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low.

Will youth come and go

Singing the songs they know

Like Mother Teresa

And Vishnu Siddhartha

And you fly paper planes

A cow wake is where they lay

The roots of your family

The guns of your history.

Eloongo how longo

From here to san pedro

We draw lines in the sand.

Elongo how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low.

Is it sailing away

Or am I waiting in vain?

Do you break all your chains

For it to all wash away.

Elongo how longo

From here to San Pedro

We draw maps in the sand.

Elongo how long though

Until we will get back home

The sun is setting low.

Elongo how longo

From here to San Pedro.

Elongo how longo

From here to San Pedro

We draw lines in the sands

We draw lines in the sands.
