Ivory Coast

At night, I sit and watch the world go by
I'm never never gonna try for the world

Like a rolling stone, always alone
With the father and the ghost
And the ivory on the Ivory Coast

Mama says
Sometimes everyone hurts
Some beasts eat their shirts
When they're hungry!

The future looks bleak
The future looks bright
Colour of a star, in the shape of a kite
Will I have to say goodbye to all this dirt, all this snow?
Yes, I think so

Mama said
No no no no no
Like a rolling stone, always alone
In any kind of weather

Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
Good things come to those who wait forever
