It’s Nearly Africa Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Chant your spirit free
Rush to greet truth like a dart
Shake your bag of bones
Shake your bag of bones
That's not traffic roar
That's a leopard in your heart
Shake your bag of bones
Shake your bag of bones
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Go tell your stale friends
Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers
Not to try to push our bodies any faster
Cause we're dancing with disaster
And the first will be the last
[Chorus]
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
[Verse 2]
Unplug future plans
Finger-paint the sun on you
Shake your bag of bones
Shake your bag of bones
Mend your missing links
I think trust could be the glue
Shake your bag of bones
Shake your bag of bones
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Go tell your warboys
Go tell all leeches and blind panickers
Not to try to push your bodies any faster
Cause we're dancing with disaster
And the first will be the last
[Chorus]
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
[Bridge]
Our civilization car is running wild
Who did you give the whee-whee-wheel to?
The fat man driving us over the edge of the nearest cliff-face
Is he the same God that I've seen you kneel to?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Go tell your stale friends
Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers
Not to try to push our bodies any faster
Cause we're dancing with disaster
And the first will be the last
[Chorus]
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
It's nearly Africa, whay-oh
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
[Outro]
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa!)
Any day now, now
