From
Tin Machine II (by Tin Machine) (1991) by
David Bowie
Amlapura (Bowie, Gabrels) - 3:46
Hey-hey it's the tall sail
On a beach reach for java
Make way for to Java
Watching for Boogies
Hey-hey it's a dreaming
I would burn you if you should die
Hey-hey I would burn too
If you should lie upon that bamboo pyre
CHORUS
I dream of Amlapura
Never saw in all my life a more shining
jewel
I dream of Amlapura
Of an ocean or dream of a princess in
stone
Hey-hey golden roses around
A rajah's mouth
Hey-hey all the dead children buried
standing
A flying Dutchman
Smoking gun and spice wind
CHORUS
I dream of Amlapura
Of a princess in stone
Hey-hey it's a tall ship
Hey-hey
Hey-hey
Amlapura
