Tsotsi Lyrics

The leaves outside my window pane

Stir winds in me like hurricanes

Guess I'm staying up late again

My mind conjures up footstep creaks

Long for lullabies from house keys (then scream)

Nceda ucime umculo

Thinking there's no way

You're not coming home at eight

It's a school day

Come on walk through the gate

Say if the monsters want you

They'll have to get through me first

Marmite nights

Dragged by slowly

Satellites

Begged you to find me

I was home fearing the bad guys

But you were out

Stealing my peace

Like a Tsotsi

There was smoke fire but no braai

Those dreamless sleepless cloudless nights

Woke Saturn's rings beneath my eyes

Thinking there's no way

You're not coming home today

When mom's away

Come on walk through the gate

Say if the monsters want you

They'll have to get through me first

Marmite nights

Dragged by slowly

Satellites

Begged you to find me

I was home fearing the bad guys

But you were out

Stealing my peace

Like a Tsotsi

Those moments

Left holes in my ozone

I'm ok now

Taking control

I was home fearing the bad guys

I'm no longer sad

Stole my peace back

Like a tsotsi

No I'm no longer mad

I'm no longer mad

Even though I resent the pain

You can't change the world by staying the same

No you can't change the world

You can't change the world by

Staying the same

Staying the same no no no

Those moments left holes in my ozone (left holes in my ozone)

But I'm ok now taking control (but I'm ok now)

Cause I I I I I I I I I was losing sleep

But I I I I I I I I I stole my peace back like a Tsotsi
