Africa Lyrics - Weezer

[Verse 1] 

I hear the drums echoing tonight 

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation 

She's coming in, 12:30 flight 

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation 

I stopped an old man along the way 

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies 

He turned to me as if to say 

"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" 

[Chorus] 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

[Verse 2] 

The wild dogs cry out in the night 

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company 

I know that I must do what's right 

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti 

I seek to cure what's deep inside 

Frightened of this thing that I've become 

[Chorus] 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never have 

[Instrumental] 

[Bridge] 

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you 

[Chorus] 

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you 

There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

I bless the rains down in Africa 

Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
