Coldplay – Orphans lyrics
[Intro]
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka

[Verse 1]
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 oo-oo-oo"
(Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka)
Indigo go up to heaven today
"Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo"
(Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka)
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
She say

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
He went, "Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo"
(Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka)
Tulips the colour of honey today
It's true true, woo woo oo-oo-oo (Boom boom ka, buba de ka, Boom boom ka, buba de ka)
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
He say

[Chorus]
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)

[Interlude]
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo

[Bridge]
Cherub Seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
I guess we'll be raised on our own then
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
I want to be with you 'til the world ends
I want to be with you 'til the whole world ends

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom
