Quartered – Africa lyrics
Mmm way wuh way wuh wuh
Mmm way wuh wuh wuh
Mmm way wuh wuh wuh
Mmm way wuh wuh wuh

Mmm way (woo) wuh wuh wuh (hah, woo, hah)
Mmm way (hoo) wuh wuh wuh (hah, woo, hah)
Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)
Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)
Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)
Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)

(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
(Mooh (woo, hah), mooh (woo, hah)) Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Sift, sift
Sift through the dark
Well, I never ever wanna
Be down on my knees
Cryin, thinkin'

Clinch
Clinch to the dark
Well, I never ever wanna
Be down on my knees
Cryin', thinkin'

I can barely remember my own name
Standing alone here in thoughts of my own
And slowly, they're soundin'
The same
Soundin' the same
Breathe in, breathe out
I cannot let this in
So let's not pretend
Aaaahhh!

Startled by how your own vision is close to the ground
I've got my nose it's so close to the ground
I'm stalking you like
An animal
Animals
Breathe in, breathe out
I cannot let this in
Stop to convulse, no longer lie
You need to realize this is the end
Breathe in, breathe out
I won't let this in
Stop to convulse
Later on in the end
Heart beats, heart throbs
Heart is always in pain
Africa, these are the words
I have to say
Never again
Never again

Africa, you have him fallin' apart
He's fallin' apart all alone
In misery
Misery

Africa, you have him falling apart
Sendin' your mainline led straight to his heart
Let this indifference no longer sway
Africa, these are the words I have to
Say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say
Say, say, say, say

This can't be happening bodies divided
Want no recollection
Fallin' to pieces we're fallin' from higher
Shun away, clear the way, stay away
Left with the drum
To beat at my own wake
Shun away, clear the way, stay away
Left with the drum
To beat at my own raise

Africa, you have him fallin' apart
He's fallin' apart all alone
In misery
