Elongo

Bedouin Soundclash

The last of some bad debris 
Falls through the coconut trees 
Twilight claims me 
Inching calmly

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
