Johnny Clegg - Hooked On Tragedy lyrics

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 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 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 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 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
