                    And I found a girl in Capetown, I was with her three days straight
                    She showed up right on time, not too soon and not too late
                    And all that I remember was we barely left the room
                    And I’m sure somewhere the sun came up and went back down again
                    And I open up my window, and the world is upside down
                    Oh, Capetown
                    And all I had was time and I drank me a few beers
                    And I Googled people that I hadn’t seen in twenty years
                    And to my great surprise, when I typed in your name I learned
                    You were working in a chemical plant in Johannesburg
                    And I’m hanging out in Capetown, and it ain’t too far away
                    Maybe I’ll see you sometime in a Johannesburg café
                    Lots of folks live on the streets here and there’s more all the time
                    But the water, she’s beautiful, and there’s plenty of good cheap wine
                    And if you crane your neck too far, there’s a hand around your throat
                    And you’ll wind up staring with your pockets clean from the bottom of a boat
                    When Gandhi came his eyes were blue, when he left his eyes were brown
                    Oh, Capetown
                    And I would gladly run off to the corners of the earth
                    But I find myself in Capetown by an accident of birth, yeah
                    I would gladly run off to the corners of the sky
                    But I find myself in Capetown, don’t matter why
                    Oh, Capetown
                    Fallin I am fallin off the great table of space
                    It’s all I can do to get up, splash water on my face
                    Capetown is my refuge, Capetown is my dare
                    If I can’t make it in Capetown, never make it anywhere
                    All right then, enough of this ramblin, gonna take a look around
                    Oh, Capetown
