Buffalo Blues - Neneh Cherry

Born to the way things work

Told that’s the way things are

You know when you never kiss at all

Till you got the kiss of life, right

It’s up life and real

Something to die for

Something to live for

Something to fight for

And still you wait in vain

When you close your mind to change

Longing for tomorrow to come

And I’m still waiting

And I’m still waiting

And then we understand

That’s the way things are

We look as though we don’t believe a word

But that should be enough truth

Mind’s sealed

Something to cry for

Something to laugh at

Something to try for

Remains the same

You’re the player and life’s the game

The kiss of life

Longing for tomorrow to come

And I’m still waiting

And I’m still waiting

I saw it take your ache away

Another excuse to deliberate

You hate all that’s fake but you’re detached

Mishmash the fighting the right cause

Something about you, you’re all real

Open up your sealed attitude

To gratitude and understanding

Demanding time to wake up

Your lack of mind at peace now

With the peace of my mind we’ll find time

To achieve nothing impossible

It’s alright, improbable

And I’m still waiting

And still you wait

And still you wait

Longing for tomorrow to come

And I’m still waiting

And I’m still waiting

And still you wait

Longing for tomorrow to come

And I’m still waiting

And I’m still waiting
