Johnny Clegg Savuka Hooked On Tragedy Lyrics

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







CHORUS:



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







CHORUS







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







CHORUS
