Baobabs Lyrics

Baobabs lyrics

You have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my thorns now



And I feel them sprouting

They'll grow right through if I don't watch them

They'll grow right through even if I watch them

And a sunset couldn't save me now



These baobabs, and baobabs, and baobabs some more

But you can't out weight fate

Now you have tamed me

Now you must take me, ta-ta-take



And I wouldn't raise my child inside the city anyway

They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast

And they know about buying shit and they know about sex

And they know about investment banking and also about brokerage burns



And they know about the numbers and they know about the words

And they know about the bottom lines and also about stones

And they know about careers and about the real deals

And they all grow up and become people's people with people skills



But you have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my thorns now



And you have tamed me

Now you must take me

How am I supposed to be

I don't have my thorns
