Hooked On Tragedy Lyrics - Johnny Clegg & Savuka

You see no ship in the harbour 

No match left to strike a light 

You couldn't try any harder 

To make a lie out of life 

Unfolding everywhere is tragic fate 

No-one can helpcause it's always too late 

A little too late, always a little too late 

CHORUS: 

You're hooked on tragedy 

I'm hooked on life 

You see darkness 

Where I see light 

You say we're victims 

I say we don't fight 

Yo yo mama I'm gonna tell you tonight 

You heart the silence in between the spoken words 

I hear the meaning that could change the world 

I see the sunrise - you see the sunset 

The better I feel - The worse you get 

I'm going to Africa 

I'm not gonna curl up and die here 

I'm going to Africa 

I'm gonna touch the flame inside the fire 

CHORUS 

I'm going to Africa 

I'm not gonna curl up and die young 

I'm going to Africa 

I'm gonna reach out and touch the purple sun 

CHORUS
