Lyrics
The traffic hums high and low
Head down on a thin pillow
How will I ever leave this town I don’t know
Tears dripping like candle wax
My body’s flipping like flapjacks
Villa Maria the wind and strife to my chimes
In the city where my parents met
Loneliness visits me like a friend
Got a job to help forget
All of the plans I had mapped out
Cause if anyone knew I was this side of town
Oh I’d let everybody down
But life was looking up
When I was down in Cape Town
Life was looking up
When I was lying down in Cape Town
Transkei baby with a wild coast past
Dressed for my plans life didn’t match
Paper thin goals near flames will catch oh oh
But fear fades when you dare imbue
Someday bloomed caramel afternoon
I was still when the air hostess moved
My lowest point was the devils peak
The thunder growled sunk its quick-witted teeth
Deep into my dubiety
But the ruby red light of the VCR
Led me like a map and it looked like Mars
Hope started tinkering like bells in jars
Ooh woah oh ooh woah oh
Ooh woah oh oh
Life was looking up
When I left the ground in Cape Town
Life was looking up
When I was above ground in Cape Town
Life was looking up
When I left the grounds of Cape Town
Oh life is looking up
But I’m thinking ‘bout when I was down in Cape Town
Now I’m thinking ‘bout
The yoghurt shop
With my friends how could I forget
Us skip skipping down Kloofnek
In the present we talk future
In the future we visit the past
Now I’m thinking about that
And how time moves so fast
Time moves so fast
Time moves so fast so fast
Time moves
Life’s bowing down
You’re standing still
Life’s looking up
You’re coming round
Funny how now
You’re thinking about
Cape Town
Life’s bowing down
I’m standing still
Life’s looking up
I’m coming round
Funny how now
I’m thinking about
How much I love Cape Town
Oh I love Cape Town oooh
Life’s bowing down
You’re standing still
Life’s looking up
You’re coming round
Funny how now
You’re thinking about
Cape Town
Time moves so fast
Time moves so fast (time moves) so fast (so fast)
Time moves so fast
Time moves so fast (so fast) so fast (so fast)
My soul I hated Cape Town
No I just could not stand down
But now that LA’s mine now
Time moves so fast
Time moves so fast (so fast) so fast (so fast)
Time moves so fast
Time moves so fast (so fast) so fast (so fast)
