Angola - Sam Roberts Band

Heat pouring in through the holes, slowing traffic to a crawl

Time, time is only silhouettes, shadow puppets on the wall

Pouring in through the holes, slowing traffic to a crawl

Makes you tick but don’t forget that you can never have it all

Listen to the raindrops falling on the treetops

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone

Many miles from home on the dawn patrol

Where the elephants roam and the red hills roll

Red sand, red sand like a sea of blood

Cold hands on the trigger wet boots in the mud

Listen to the gunshots echo through the treetops

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone

The world’s on fire, there’s nowhere to run

The world’s on fire, try and hold on

And if you’re doing what you shouldn’t turn the other way

Because the proof is in the pudding so the old wives say

You gotta cut that rope till your hands are free

And throw off that yoke that keeps you on your knees

Listen to the gunshots echo ‘cross the rooftops

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone

The world’s on fire, there’s nowhere to run

The worlds' on fire, try and hold on

Can you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste it

Is it real now, is it real now, did we make it, did we make it

Can you feel it, can you feel it, I can taste it, I can taste it

If we dream it, if we dream it, we can make it, we can make it

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you

Angola, Angola, I never should have left you alone
