lyrics

Coldness while you're not here
A harbour of fear
I'm crawling the walls
I'm convicted, show classic signs
Losing my mind
You're a cure to it all
Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine

Lock up, little light flows
From someone we know
May change your mind
A prisoner, I scratch away days
Bars in my way
I'm not hard to find
Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine

Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine

Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine

Why, oh why, oh why do I linger?
Why, oh why, oh why do I wait?
Why, oh why, oh why
When I know freedom is she
My heart's a lock up cell
I've thrown away the key

Too long you've kept me here
You never appear
So sad are my dreams
Too long awaiting release
Can't find no peace
Endless this seems
Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine

But you could make this one fine

Old Timbuktu
The town you send me to
But you could make this one fine
