Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're spendin' too much time alone
Eh, we're spendin' too much time alone, eh
And I just ran outta Trojans
Horses gallop to her throne, yeah
You, you
We're behaving like teenagers
Yes, we're behaving like teenagers
Ah, you, you
Making less than minimum wage
Still inside our parents' homes
No, I don't live in Denver
No, no, I don't live in Denver
I grew up in Sierra Leone
And her pink skies will keep me warm
[Chorus]
Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone
Tidbits of intuition that I be gettin'
Abandon mission, abandon mission (Sierra Leone)
You must be kiddin', this shit feelin' different
Shit feelin' to good to me, glistenin'
Shimmerin' underneath the sunlight, the sunlight (Sierra Leone)
[Verse 2]
And a new day will bring about the dawn
And a new day will bring another cryin' babe into the world, girl
Whoa, ooh, girl, now
Our daughter's reachin' for your nipple 'cause it's time for her to eat
Reachin' for ya
Tonight, I'll lay her in her cradle
If it's time to go to sleep
Oh, go to sleep, oh, oh
I sing a Lennon lullaby, she can have a pretty dream
Baby girl, if you knew what I know, knew what I know, ooh-oh
[Outro]
No, no-no-no, no, no, no
No, no-no-no, no, no, no
