Africa Talks to You (The Asphalt Jungle) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Must be a rush for me
To see a lazy
A brain he meant to be
Cop out? He's crazy
But who's believing who?
Who's doin' the fishin'?
Do what you wanna do
Or keep on wishin'

[Chorus]
Timber
Ah, all fall down
Timber
Who's around?
Watch out 'cause the summer's getting cold
When today gets too old

[Verse 2]
Must be a rush for you
To see a lazy
In his backyard he grew
Cop out? He's crazy
When life means much to you
Why live for dyin'?
If you are doing right
Why are you cryin'?

[Chorus]
Timber
Ah, all fall down
Timber
Ah, who's around?
Watch out 'cause the summer gets cold
When today gets too old

[Outro]
Timber
Whoa, timber
Timber
Timber, yeah, hey

Timber
Whoa, timber
Timber
Timber, yeah, hey

Timber
Whoa, timber
Timber
Timber, hey

Timber
Whoa, timber
Timber
Timber, hey

Timber
Whoa, timber
Timber
Timber, hey, hey
