Dr. Livingston |
| Steam ship, sail down the river |
| Fight the mosquitoes that fly in a swarm |
| White smoke covers the jungle |
| See Dr. Livingston land with a thunk |
| Young women weep for their dying babies |
| Down where the sad willows gather |
| I am a white man in Africa |
| If I were to stay here |
| There’d be no one to save me |
| I hear the drums |
| I know it’s urgent |
| Switch to record |
| I hear survival in his hands |
| I get the picture |
| But I will never understand |
| Mad world, invisible army |
| Blow up the bridges and come like a storm |
| Young girl, eyes full of promise |
| Carry the baby and keeping it warm |
| Down where the sad willows gather |
| Young men go down on their knees |
| I am a white man in Africa |
| With more than just my god to appease |
| I hear the drums |
| I know it’s urgent |
| I get the picture |
| I hear survival in his hands |
| Switch to record |
| But I will never understand |
| How there is love in his face |
| 'Midst of all this waste |
| In the Mozambique sun |
| Under the gun |
| I hear the drums |
| I hear survival in his hands |
| I hear the drums |
| There is a curse upon this land |
| I hear the drums |
| I know it’s urgent |
| I hear survival in his hands |
| Hit record |
| I will never understand |
| Get the picture |
| Carry the sound and the fury |
| Left all alone in a war zone |
| Hours later |
| Carry the sound and the fury |
| Thoughts of my bed |
| So tell me about all the places you go |
| All the lives that you swallow, the people you keep |
| Leave me tired and ready for sleep |
| Wrestle my soulThat’s where I want to be |
| Deep in a monastery |
