African chic

With or without you
I’m outta here,
I’m worn out, bored,
I can’t take it anymore,
so much emotion
is breaking my heart,
"boom-booms" crazy, mind-eaters
and lion roars.

Wake up, 'cause the paradise
of mud and bamboo
is getting paved over,
what a damn shame.
Africa, African Chic
ivory smiles
and hurricane fury.
Afrodisiacs on the fast track,
the jungle’s mine
and I can’t take it anymore.

Africa, Africa, only you
know about voodoo.

What a heat!
No fan in sight!
red ants are devouring us
and Nairobi’s a snooze.

Naked in the paradise
of mud and bamboo,
tattooed with a thousand bites
you dance for me.
