Journey Lyrics - Singles - Asian Dub Foundation

Take the long train to Bombay 

Duck as the tunnels came 

Tune in your crystal set 

You've won the freedom to forget 

You've won the freedom to forget 

Feeling good migrations 

Tuned in to the mother nation 

Taking her aim 

Changing your name 

Now we're nomads that stay in one place 

Not a country, not a face 

Standing out but we're like ghosts 

Long-term guests, ungracious hosts 

Re-written history, a sleepy slavery 

Those sweet sweet sweet machines 

Sniffling, selling 

Good migrations 

Tuned in to the mother nation 

Taking her aim 

Changing your name 

Taking her aim 

Changing your name 

The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white 

Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride 

Hostile environments along the way 

A slowly changing landscape 

But a steady stream of consciousness rising 

A steady stream of consciousness rising 

This is the journey from loneliness to pride 

No longer any need to hide 

Struggle to live and we cry struggle to survive 

Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive 

'Cause inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die 

And you got to be aware, you got to have the jungle eye 

Oh man, you got to have the jungle eye 

Struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive 

Inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die 

Just to stay alive, oh man, just to stay alive 

Struggle to live and we cry struggle to survive 

Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive 

'Cause inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die 

Man, you got to be aware, you got to have the jungle eye 

Oh man, you got to have the jungle eye 

Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive 

Inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die 

Oh man, you got to be aware 

You got to have the jungle eye 

Steady stream of consciousness rising 

Steady stream of consciousness rising 

Steady stream of consciousness rising 

This is the journey from loneliness to pride 

Nomads can stay in loneliness 

Standing out still like ghost 

No longer any need to hide
