hatari

get on a plane

packed a bag

dream like a zebra

heat like a fever

mimi naweza

sijui

sijui oh

mimi ni mchizi

kama ndizi

wewe ni mbaya

kama nfiya

wake up at midnight

under the starlight

hack out my heart & use it to make the sun rise

mimi naweza

sijui

sijui oh

you thought that i would stand up and sit this one out

you thought that i would wear it like a blistering shroud

you thought that it would fit but then the fit wore out

and the whalebone was so tight that it made me scream and shout

but did you listen

listen?

did you listen

listen?

got on a plane

hack off a leg

left off my finger at the jewelry shop

hatari hatari danger at the spot

jam hop

mimi naweza

sijui

sijui oh

naweza

you thought that i would stand up and sit this one out

you thought that i would wear it like a blistering shroud

you thought that it would fit but then the fit wore out

and the whalebone was so tight that it made me scream and shout

but did you listen

listen?

did you listen

listen?

did you listen

listen?

did you listen

listen?

there is a natural sound that wild things make when they're bound

it rumbles in the ground

gurrah gurrah we all fall down

but when you hear the sound

ten thousand voices lost and found

your rumble in the ground

gurrah

gurrah we all fall down
