Below, you will find the lyrics for Orphans by Coldplay.
I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
(Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka)
Verse 1
Rosaleen of the Damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the Moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Indigo go up to heaven today
Ooh, ooh, ooh
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
She said)
Chorus 1
I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I wanna 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Tulips the colour of honey today
It's true, true
Outro
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I wanna know when I can go
Back and be young again
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Cherub Seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the Moon
I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I wanna know when I can go
Back and feel home again
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I guess we'll be raised on our own then
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I wanna be with you till the world ends
I wanna be with you till the whole world ends
(Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom!)
