Orphans (Muzi Remix) Lyrics

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka


[Chris Martin & Choir, Moses Martin]
I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka


[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
Rosaleem of the Damascene
Yes, she had eyes like the moon
Would have been on the silver screen
But for the missile monsoon
She went, woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Indigo up in heaven today
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
Baba would go where the flowers grow
Almond and peach trees in bloom
And he would know just when and what to sow
So golden and opportune
He went, woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Tulips the colour of honey today
It's true true, woo woo oo-oo-oo
With bombs going boom ba-boom-boom
He say

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka


[Chorus: Chris Martin & Choir]
Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and feel home again
Oh, I want to know when I can go
Back and get drunk with my friends
I want to know when I can go
Back and feel home again

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo
Woo woo, woo woo oo-oo-oo

Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka
Boom boom ka, buba de ka

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The first official remix of “Orphans” was done by the South African producer Muzi. Besides mixing up the instrumental into a more dance produced beat, Muzi decides to replace most of the choruses in favor of the onomatopoeia intro done by Moses Martin (Chris Martin’s son).
