Journey Lyrics
Take the long train to Bombay
Duck as the tunnels came
Tune in your crystal set
You've won the freedom to forget
You've won the freedom to forgetFeeling good migrations
Tuned in to the mother nation
Taking her aim
Changing your nameNow we're nomads that stay in one place
Not a country, not a face
Standing out but we're like ghosts
Long-term guests, ungracious hostsRe-written history, a sleepy slavery
Those sweet sweet sweet machines
Sniffling, sellingGood migrations
Tuned in to the mother nation
Taking her aim
Changing your nameTaking her aim
Changing your nameThe nine year old boy who had wanted to be white
Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride
Hostile environments along the way
A slowly changing landscapeBut a steady stream of consciousness rising
A steady stream of consciousness rising
This is the journey from loneliness to pride
No longer any need to hideStruggle to live and we cry struggle to survive
Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive
'Cause inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die
And you got to be aware, you got to have the jungle eyeOh man, you got to have the jungle eye
Struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive
Inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die
Just to stay alive, oh man, just to stay aliveStruggle to live and we cry struggle to survive
Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive
'Cause inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die
Man, you got to be aware, you got to have the jungle eye
Oh man, you got to have the jungle eyeStruggla, struggla, struggla, struggla just to stay alive
Inside the jungle [Incomprehensible] you do or you die
Oh man, you got to be aware
You got to have the jungle eyeSteady stream of consciousness rising
Steady stream of consciousness rising
Steady stream of consciousness rising
This is the journey from loneliness to pride
Nomads can stay in loneliness
Standing out still like ghost
No longer any need to hide
