Toyah - Masai Boy lyrics
rate me(Words Willcox/Music Willcox, Lee)<br />
Rise o sun<br />
Rise o sun<br />
Golden one<br />
God of our horizon<br />
God's eye. Volcano cry.<br />
Warrior. You're a Masai.<br />
Africa<br />
Africa<br />
Africa<br />
Africa<br />
Spear your joy<br />
Spear your joy<br />
Masai Warboy<br />
Manhood. You must kill the boar<br />
Be a warrior. As your elders before<br />
Painted loins. Africa<br />
Seeking the spirit of adventure<br />
Dye your hair<br />
Paint your skin<br />
Sacrifice<br />
The youth of your skin<br />
Run to the sun<br />
Run to the sun<br />
Run to the sun<br />
Run to the sun<br />
Exhaustion<br />
Exhaustion<br />
Exhaustion<br />
Exhaustion<br />
Your body's screaming<br />
Your body's screaming<br />
Masai boy<br />
You're a warrior<br />
MARIONETTE<br />
----------<br />
(Words Willcox/Music Bogen)<br />
Twisted strangers<br />
Have gone to war<br />
Oxygen drunk<br />
Fall bleeding to the floor<br />
Glass eyed creatures<br />
Fragmented features<br />
Piecing together<br />
Fallen warriors<br />
Revolution<br />
For the maiden queen<br />
Sherwood Forest<br />
Or an African scene<br />
The Marionette<br />
She has velvet claws<br />
She pulls the strings<br />
In this city of whores<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
You say yes<br />
You bend, she wins<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
Pulls and pulls<br />
Til your spirit gives in<br />
Grueling hot sweat<br />
In the land of a whore<br />
Will this be war<br />
Will this be war<br />
The knave and the pawn<br />
Ripen the whore<br />
With bastard sons<br />
Her brats of law<br />
The hawk and the falcon<br />
Swoop to blind their eyes<br />
The reaper she laughs<br />
She chokes she cries<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
You say yes<br />
You bend, she wins<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
Pulls and pulls<br />
Til your spirit gives in<br />
Foaming white horses<br />
Cracking their sinews<br />
For the Maidens of Troy<br />
The bell tower falls<br />
Pouring to the floor<br />
Whoa, love and death, a climax all in all<br />
Medieval shores and madrigals<br />
Her velvet claws pull you with passion<br />
To her floor<br />
In the cathedral<br />
Her children sing<br />
In the cathedral<br />
The pendulum swings<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
You say yes<br />
You bend, she wins<br />
The Marionette pulls the strings<br />
Pulls and pulls<br />
Til your spirit gives in
