Capetown Lyrics
(Verse)
And I found a girl in Cape Town
I was with her 3 days straight
She showed up right on time
Not too soon or not too late
And all that I remember is
We barely left the room
And I'm sure somewhere the sun came up
And went back down again
Now I open up my window
And the world is upside down
Oh ohh Capetown

(Verse)
Then all we had was times of a drink
Maybe a few beers
And I googled people that I haven't seen
In 20 years
And showed me great surprised
When I typed in your name I learned
You were working in a chemical plant
In Hemisburg
And I'm hanging out in Capetown
And it ain't too far away
Maybe I'll run into you sometime
Into Johannesburg I pray
(Verse)
All the folks run all the streets here
And theres more all the time
But the water is beautiful
And there's plenty of bit cheap wine
If you crack your neck too far
You'll find a hand around your throat
And you'll wind up staring
Where the pocket is clean
From the bottom of a boat
When Ghandi came his eyes were blue
When he left his eyes were bright
Oh ohh Capetown
(Verse)
And I'm a claiming man
To the corners of the earth
But I find myself in capture
By an accidental birth
I would gladly run off to the corners of the sky
But I find myself in capture
Don't matter why
Oh ohh Capetown
(Verse)
Fallin out or fallin off
The great deep of space
'Cause all I can do to get up
Splash water on my face
Capetown is my refuge
Capetown is my dare
If I can't make it in Capetown
Never make it anywhere
Alright enough with this rumbling
Go take a look around
Oh ohh Capetown
Oh ohh Capetown
