Lyrics
Saphire
I've got flies in my eyes,
Many prize the size of the cries
And the sun is so hot
There's no bread no fun
A deep rot...
Hurray! I'll live another day!
So say: 'Wormy Téquilla' and
Find some more play!
(Chorus)
Louisa walks around
A doll baby in her skinny arms.
And the soldiers in the jungle
Keep doing so much harm,
That I know to turn...
Saphire just won't learn
When homes all still burn...
But I do know
I do know
I do know
SURVIVE!!!
And the bees in the trees
Pleased to eat from the knees
Of the boy that I loved
Who got shot...my mind just stopped...
Hurray!! I'll live another day!
So say : 'Wormy Téquilla' and
Find some more play..!
(Chorus)
So tell Louisa tears don't help a
Child's dying and fading light...
Killing smells in yellow heat
Keep stranger's crazy fight!
Saphire eh!?... just learns
Picks baby up and turns
No village left to burn
But I do know
I do know
I do know
SURVIVE!!!
