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: ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

Indigo up in heaven today

Ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom

She said

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

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: ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

Tulips the colour of honey today

It's true, true, ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom

He said

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 be young again (Yeah)

Ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, ooh

Cherub seraphim soon

Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

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 be young again

(Oh-oh, oh-oh ooh)

I guess we'll be raised on our own, then

(Oh-oh, oh-oh ooh)

I want to be with you 'til the world ends

I want to be with you 'til the whole world ends

Boom
