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 
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 
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
