Kilimanjaro Lyrics

Kilimanjaro, don't you know?

I'd have climbed you so long ago

If I thought you wouldn't kill me

If you haven't figured it out by now

I'd like to be near you, if you would allow

And as you cast your catastrophe

I will take my place amidst the debris

Hurricane my dear, lend me your ear

Ripping homes and dreams

Striking such fear

I'll look in your eye

You'll look in mine

And there I'll find refuge

Serene and sublime

You'll wreak destruction on all in your path

No one escaping your wrath - except me

Earth that's quaking at my feet

Splitting open as I speak

I have no quarrel with you, so please...

If you could leave a safe path for me

I'd be so grateful just to see;

Chasms that open and swallow the streets

And everything else that's been tormenting me

I'll watch from the distance as you tear it down

The wave crashing over them as they all drown

Kansas tornado, take it slow

At least for me I guess

You can go to town on everyone else

I couldn't care much less

If you haven't figured it out by now

I'd like to be near you if you would allow

And as you cast your catastrophe

I will take my place amidst the debris
