Dr Livingstone Lyrics - Afterglow - Crowded House

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 

Photos 

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
