| I can’t deal with all this undergrowth talk | 
| It just trips my feet and tangles up my thoughts | 
| You’re trying to sell me your new faith | 
| Tell me why you’d do it | 
| And your hands are clenched | 
| And you’re talking low | 
| With your eyes like flames | 
| Your voice like snow | 
| Someone dug a pit for you | 
| And you fell right into it | 
| Tell me how the universe was meant to be | 
| Take another sip of your cola | 
| You be the colonel of the cavalry | 
| I’ll be Francis Ford Coppola | 
| We’ll go together through the jungle night | 
| 'Til the moon and stars fade out of sight | 
| Waiting for the dawn to come | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Here in Angola | 
| I can’t remember how you got this way | 
| I can still recall you in a younger day | 
| The earnestness still drips off you like butter | 
| And you fling round words in a holy war | 
| And you look so vague, but seem so sure | 
| Don’t you ever just want to break right down and stutter | 
| Tell me how the universe was meant to be | 
| Take another sip of your cola | 
| You be the colonel of the cavalry | 
| I’ll be Francis Ford Coppola | 
| We’ll go together through the jungle night | 
| 'Til the moon and stars fade out of sight | 
| Waiting for the dawn to come | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Ah, why don’t you let it go | 
| Ah, you’d be too wise to know | 
| That time will get you anyway | 
| It’s at your door today | 
| I can’t deal with these periscope views | 
| And the caveman scrawl that you call news | 
| Hey, why don’t you make a not to cancel your next visit | 
| Well, I knew that things were getting out of control | 
| When you found your faith and lost your soul | 
| If there’s something you’d rather die than compromise | 
| What is it? | 
| Tell me how the universe was meant to be | 
| Take another sip of your cola | 
| You be the colonel of the cavalry | 
| I’ll be Francis Ford Coppola | 
| We’ll go together through the jungle night | 
| As the moon and stars fade out of sight | 
| Waiting for the dawn to come | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Here in Angola | 
| Here in Angola |
