Lyrics African Night Flight - 1999 Remastered Version - David Bowie

African nightmare, one-time Mormon
More men fall in, hulla-baloo men
I slide to the nearest bar
Undermine chairman, I went too far
Bent on a windfall, rent a Sony
Wonder how the dollar went down
Gotta get a word to Elizabeth's father
Hey, no, he wished me well
Seems like another day I could fly
Into the eye of God on high
His burning eye will see me through
(One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get work through one of these days)
His burning eye will see me through
(One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get work through one of these days

Getting in mood for a Mombassa night flight
Pushing my luck, gonna fly like a mad thing
Bare-strip, take-off, skimming over Rhino
Born in slumber, less than peace
Struggle with a child whose screaming-dreaming
Drowned by the props all steely sunshine
Sick of you, sick of me, lust for the free life, quashed and maimed
Like a valuable loved one left un-named
Seems like another day, I could fly
Into the eye of God on high
Seems like another day, I could fly
Into the eye of God on high
Over the bushland, over the trees
Wise like orangutan, that was me
His burning eye will see me through
(One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get work through one of these days)
His burning eye will see me through
(One of these days, one of these days
Gotta get work through one of these days
