Hooked on tragedy

You see no ship in the harbour
No match left to strike a light
You couldn't try any harder
To make a lie out of life
Unfolding everywhere is tragic fate
No-one can helpcause it's always too late
A little too late, always a little too late

{Refrain:}
You're hooked on tragedy
I'm hooked on life
You see darkness
Where I see light
You say we're victims
I say we don't fight
Yo yo mama I'm gonna tell you tonight

You heart the silence in between the spoken words
I hear the meaning that could change the world
I see the sunrise - you see the sunset
The better I feel - The worse you get

I'm going to Africa
I'm not gonna curl up and die here
I'm going to Africa
I'm gonna touch the flame inside the fire

{au Refrain}

I'm going to Africa
I'm not gonna curl up and die young
I'm going to Africa
I'm gonna reach out and touch the purple sun

{au Refrain}
