The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that cant be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
wewe are
wewe are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take wewe home
I could not stop that wewe now know singing
Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
au am I part of the disease, singing
wewe are, wewe are, wewe are
wewe are, wewe are, wewe are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
wewe are
wewe are
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead singing
Come out of things unsaid
Shoot an apple off my head and a
Trouble that cant be named
A tiger's waiting to be tamed singing
wewe are
wewe are
Confusion never stops
Closing walls and ticking clocks
Gonna come back and take wewe home
I could not stop that wewe now know singing
Come out upon my seas,
Cursed missed opportunities
Am I a part of the cure
au am I part of the disease, singing
wewe are, wewe are, wewe are
wewe are, wewe are, wewe are
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
And nothing else compares
wewe are
wewe are
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
Home, nyumbani where I wanted to go
At night they would go walking ‘till the breaking of the day,
The morning is for sleeping…
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way,
Save the nighttime for your weeping…
Your weeping…
imba la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London, hey…
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring,
For their curses to be broken…
We’d go underneath the arches where the witches are in the saying,
There are ghost towns in the ocean…
The ocean…
imba la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London, ey…
God is in the houses and God is in my head… and all the cemeteries in London…
I see God come in my garden, but I don’t know what he said,
For my moyo it wasn’t open….
Not open…
imba la lalalalala la lé…
And the night over London, ey…
imba la lalalalala la lé…
There’s no light over London today…

Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying 'fast as I can
I got to go, I got to go'
Once upon a time we fell apart
You're holding in your hands the two halves of my heart
Once upon a time we burned bright
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on
And on and on and on
Once upon a time on the same side
Once upon a time on the same side
In the same game
Now why d'you have to go
Have to go and throw water on my flame?
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a ngome and worn a ring
But no, wewe let me go
I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a ngome and worn a ring
But no, wewe let me go
wewe aliiba my star
La, lalala lalalala, lalalalalalala, lalalalalalala

La, lalala lalalala
Cause wewe really hurt me
No wewe really hurt me

O no, I see,
A buibui web is Tangled up with me,
And I Lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said.
O no, what's this?
A buibui web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turn to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,
And I never meant to cause wewe trouble,

And I, well if I ever caused wewe trouble,
And oh no, I never meant to do wewe harm.

And I, well if I ever caused wewe trouble,
Oh, no I never meant to do wewe harm.

How tides control the sea, and what becomes of me
How little things can slip out of your hands
How often people change, not to remain the same
Why things don't always turn out as wewe plan
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can't, and I can't decide
Wrong, oh my wrong from right
Day, oh my siku from night
Dark, oh my dark from light
I live, but I upendo this life
How infinite is space, and who decides your fate
Why everything will dissolve into sand
How to avoid defeat, when truth and fiction meet
Why nothing ever turns out as wewe plan
These are things that I don't understand
Yeah, these are things that I don't understand
I can , and I can't decide
Wrong, oh my wrong from right
Day, oh my siku from night
au dark, oh my dark from light
I live, but I upendo this life
How little things can slip out of your hands

So wewe Lost your trust
And wewe never should have
No,you never should have
But don't break your back
If wewe ever hear this
But don't answer that
In a bullet proof vest
With the windows all closed

In a telescope lens
And when all wewe want is friends
