Robert Plant - Takamba lyrics

Sing a song of freedom - write it in the sky

A pocket full of secrets - a belly full of lies

A fiction to believe in, created then denied

Tricks and mirror - sleight of hand

Hula hula - promised land

Rhyme and reason - smoke and fire

Hula hula - truth and lie

Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state

Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits

Outside the gates of Eden, star-spangled and so late

Tricks and mirror [etc repeated]
