James Lyrics

"Afro Lover" lyrics


I came across the border
Through the east and west divide
The land between the trenches
Was patrolled by the deaf and the blind
The blind were shouting listen
While the deaf said can't you see
Somewhere deep in no man's land
Some man has lost a key

I opened up into this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

Centuries of fighting
So I brought myself a gun
The salesman called it freedom
So my enemy brought a bigger one
I'm saving up for a missile
That will shoot him up with love
Now his fingers on my button
And my hand is in his glove

I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up
Or set you free
I believe that there is magic in this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen

Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody needs more loving
Everybody wants the same things
