Chant your spirit free Rush to greet truth like a dart (Shake your bag o' bones) (Shake your bag o' bones) That's not traffic roar That's a leopard in your heart (Shake your bag o' bones) (Shake your bag o' bones)
Go tell your stale friends Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers
Not to try to push our bodies any faster We're dancing with disaster And the first will be the last It's nearly Africa (oh) It's nearly Africa (oh) Any day now Any day now, now Any day now Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now
Unplug future plans Finger-paint the Sun on you (Shake your bag o' bones) (Shake your bag o' bones) Mend your missing links I think trust should be the glue (Shake your bag o' bones) (Shake your bag o' bones)
Go tell your warboys Go tell all leeches and blind panickers
Not to try to push our bodies any faster We're dancing with disaster And the first will be the last It's nearly Africa (oh) It's nearly Africa (oh) Any day now Any day now, now Any day now Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now
(Our civilisation car is running wild, wild, wild, wild) (Who did you give the wheel to?) (The fat man driving us over the edge of the nearest cliff face) (Is he the same God that I've seen you kneel to?)
Go tell your stale friends Go tell false prophets and drug traffickers
Not to try to push our bodies any faster We're dancing with disaster And the first will be the last It's nearly Africa (oh) It's nearly Africa (oh) Any day now Any day now, now Any day now Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now
Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now Any day now (it's nearly Africa) Any day now, now
