Maps Of The World
What kind of map?
As up-to-date as possible
I'm thinking of doing a bit of travelling
And I need the latest world atlas
I'm sorry, but we may be in a bit of trouble there
All the maps are changing so rapidly
It's difficult to follow these days
Since the East has returned to the dance floor
Yes, I sense a loss of azimuth here
A falling off the edge of the world as we know it
A scattering of temples, a wish for a more modern Cairo
A more divisive equator, a more beautiful sunset
A bluer sky, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight
(Gabon, Zaire, Congo, Rwanda)
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight
(Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Tanzania)
The world changes partners to dance
Poor Libya, so misunderstood
The mighty Zambezi, the windblown Kalahari
A wish for a more electronic mailbox
A more African nightmare
A more vigorous Burundi
Mozambique Electronique
The armies of Namibia
Angola, who is your Cuba now?
Changed partners, the world wants to dance
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight
(Somalia, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Togo)
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight)
(Tothigua, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Western Sahara)
The maidens of Morocco, Kirivitso, Burkina Faso
The riches of Liberia, a stranger symbolism
A sand-storm of antiquities, a more beautiful sunset
A sparser continent, a bluer sky
A more disturbing rhythm
An angrier drum-beat
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight
(Estonia, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Nashville)
Changed partners again, changed partners just for the night
(Ankara, Enseno and Madrid, Twin Cities, Reno)
I'm leaving for home, leaving for home tonight
(Inuit, Rome, Vancouver)
Changed partners again
Changed partners just for the night
(Afghanistan, Sardinia, Peru)
Changed partners again
Changed partners just for the night
(Columbia, Argentina, France, Syria, Catalan, Oslo)
