Orphans - Intellectual

[Intro: Chris Martin & Choir, Moses Martin]

I want to know when I can go

Back and get drunk with my friends

Boom boom kah, buba de kah

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

Rosaleem of the Damascene

Yes, she had eyes like the moon

Would have been on the silver screen

But for the missile monsoon

[Refrain: Chris Martin & Choir]

She went (Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Indigo up in heaven today

(Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bombs going boom-ba-ba-boom

She say

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Choir]

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

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]

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

[Refrain: Chris Martin & Choir]

But he went (Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Tulips the colour of honey today

(It's true, true, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Bombs going boom-ba-ba-boom

He say

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Choir]

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)

[Bridge: Chris Martin]

Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh

Cherubim, Seraphim soon

Come sailing us home by the light of the moon

[Chorus: Chris Martin & Choir]

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 feel home again

[Refrain: Chris Martin & Choir]

Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh

I guess we'll be raised on our own then

Woo-woo, woo-woo, ooh-ooh-ooh

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

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

[Outro: Moses Martin]

Boom boom kah, buba de kah

Boom
