Angola Lyrics - Lo-fantasy - Sam Roberts

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
