Lyrics

One, two, three, four
Bombay seems lost in dreams
When the pipes let off steam
In a backroom
Somewhere, anywhere in L.A
Next payday comes, I'll be gone
By boats and planes, it's pre-arranged
You can't catch me
I'm on my way back to Bombay
Bombay
Bombay
Bombay
Bombay
(Bombay, Bombay)
Ain't gonna leave no trace
(Bombay, Bombay)
Gonna wash away my face
(Bombay, Bombay)
In the Bombay river
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay
I'm gonna trade my past
For a new life at last
Sit back and have another blast
If I die, Kamasutra's the reason why
Kama, Kama, Kamasutra
Kama, Kama, Kama, I surrender
Yeah, ooh yeah
I surrender
Bombay
Bombay
Bombay
Bombay
(Bombay, Bombay)
Ain't gonna leave no trace
(Bombay, Bombay)
Gonna wash away my face
(Bombay, Bombay)
In the Bombay river
(Bombay, Bombay)
Bombay
(Bombay, Bombay)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Bombay, Bombay)
I'm gonna settle
I'm gonna stay in Bombay
(Bombay, Bombay)
(Bombay, Bombay)
(Bombay, Bombay)
(Bombay, Bombay)
(Bombay, Bombay)
(Bombay, Bombay)
