Lyrics

[Intro]
I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends?
[Verse 1]
Rosaleem of the Damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon
[Verse 2]
She went (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)
Indigo up in heaven today (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)
Bombs going boom, b-b-boom
[Chorus]
She say, "I wanna know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends?
I wanna know when I can go
Back and be young again?"
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And he went (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)
Tulips the colour of honey today (Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh)
Bombs going boom, b-b-boom
[Chorus]
He say, "Oh, I wanna know when I can go?
Back and get drunk with my friends?
I wanna know when I can go
Back and be young again?"
[Bridge]
Cherubim, Seraphim soon
Come sailing us home by the light of the moon
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna know when I can go?
Back and get drunk with my friends?
I wanna know when I can go
Back and feel home again?
[Outro]
(Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh) I guess we'll be raised on our own then
(Woo-woo, woo-woo-ooh) I wanna be with you till the world ends
I wanna be with you till the whole world ends
Written by: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, Moses Martin, Will Champion
