You have tamed me
|
Now you must take me
|
How am I supposed to be
|
I don't have my thorns now
|
I feel them sprouting
|
They'll grow right though if I don't watch it
|
They'll grow right through even if I watch it
|
And a sunset couldn't save me now
|
|
These baobabs and baobabs and baobabs some more
|
But you can't outwait fate
|
|
And you have tamed me
|
Now you must take me...
|
taa-tt-ttaa-ttt-taa-tt-taake
|
|
And I wouldn't raise my child inside this city anyway
|
They grow up too savvy and they grow up too fast
|
And they know about buying shit and they know about sex
|
And they know about investment banking and also about brokerage firms
|
And they know about the numbers and they know about the words
|
And they know about the bottom line and also about stones
|
And they know about careers and about the real deals
|
And they all grow up and become people's people with people skills
|
|
But you have tamed me
|
Now you must take me
|
How am I supposed to be
|
I don't have my thorns now
|
|
But you have tamed me
|
Now you must take me
|
How am I supposed to be
|
I don't have my thorns
|
