Coldplay - Orphans lyrics

[Coldplay - Orphans lyrics]

I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
Boom boom kah,  buba de kah
Boom boom kah, buba de kah
Boom boom kah, buba de kah

Rosaleem of the Damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon

She went (Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh)
Indigo up in heaven today
(Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh)
Bombs going boom ba ba boom she say

I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and be young again

Baba would go where the flowers grow
Almond and peach trees in bloom
And he would know just when and what to sow
So golden and opportune

But he went (Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh)
Tulips the colour of honey today
(It's true, true, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh)
Bombs going boom ba ba boom he say

Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and be young again (yeah)

Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh
Cherubim, Seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and feel home again
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh
I guess we'll be raised on our own then
Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh ooh ooh
'Cause I want to be with
You 'til the world ends
I want to be with you
'til the whole world ends

Boom boom kah, buba de kah
Boom boom kah, buba de kah
Boom boom kah, buba de kah boom
