Lyrics Neneh Cherry – Buffalo Blues

Born to the way things work
Told that’s the way things are
You know when you never kiss at all
Till you got the kiss of life, right

It’s up life and real
Something to die for
Something to live for
Something to fight for
And still you wait in vain
When you close your mind to change

Longing for tomorrow to come
And I’m still waiting
And I’m still waiting

And then we understand
That’s the way things are
We look as though we don’t believe a word
But that should be enough truth

Mind’s sealed
Something to cry for
Something to laugh at
Something to try for
Remains the same
You’re the player and life’s the game

The kiss of life

Longing for tomorrow to come
And I’m still waiting
And I’m still waiting

I saw it take your ache away
Another excuse to deliberate
You hate all that’s fake but you’re detached

Something about you, you’re all real
Open up your sealed attitude
To gratitude and understanding
Demanding time to wake up

Your lack of mind at peace now
With the peace of my mind we’ll find time
To achieve nothing impossible
It’s alright, improbable

And I’m still waiting
And still you wait
And still you wait

Longing for tomorrow to come
And I’m still waiting
And I’m still waiting

And still you wait

Longing for tomorrow to come
And I’m still waiting
And I’m still waiting
