Lyrics
Mm-mm
– Mm-mm
There’s lots of fish out in the pond
– There’s lots of fish out in the pond
In the oceans and the rivers and in all the waterfalls
– In the oceans and the rivers and in all the waterfalls
But if I’m made for land and not the sea at all
– But if I ‘m made for land and not the sea at all
Could I crawl and find some kind Neanderthal?
– Could I crawl and find some kind Neanderthal?
What if I’m from outer space?
– What if I ‘m from outer space?
And I have fire in my bones and in my veins?
– And I have fire in my bones and in my veins?
I let it show and scare my suitors far away
– I let it show and scare my suitors far away
Leave them traumatized with visions of its glow behind my face
– Leave them traumatized with visions of its glow behind my face
They say that God makes no mistakes, but I might disagree
– They say that God makes no mistakes, but I might disagree
When I outstretch my empty hand
– When I outstretch my empty hand
I watch them build society, domesticated land
– I watch them build society, domesticated land
It goes according to the plan
– It goes according to the plan
While they’re in paradise, I’m exiled in the sand
– Ngesikhathi besepharadesi, ngidingiselwe esihlabathini
If everyone has someone, then the math just isn’t right
– Uma wonke umuntu enomuntu, khona-ke izibalo azilungile
And I’m the only outlier, the lonely archetype
– Futhi ngingukuphela komuntu ongajwayelekile, oyisibonelo esiyedwa
If everything is by design, well, I might disagree
– Uma konke kwenziwa ngokwakhiwa, ngingase ngingavumelani
You all know something that I don’t
– Nonke niyazi into engingayazi
You all learned something that I fear I’ll never know
– Nonke nafunda okuthile engesaba ukuthi ngeke ngikwazi
You all grew body parts I fear I’ll never grow
– Nonke nakhula izingxenye zomzimba ngiyesaba ukuthi angisoze ngakhula
You all know something that I don’t
– Nonke niyazi into engingayazi
You all know something that I don’t
– Nonke niyazi into engingayazi
You all know something that I don’t
– Nonke niyazi into engingayazi
What if I’m just cosmic dust?
– Kuthiwani uma ngingumuntu nje uthuli cosmic?
Put me in a metal box that’s bound to rust
– Ngibeke ebhokisini lensimbi eliboshwe ukugqwala
Shoot me into space and leave me to combust
– Ngidubule emkhathini futhi ngishiye ngishisa
Return to earth and just dissolve into its crust
– Buyela emhlabeni futhi uvele uncibilike uqweqwe lwawo
Well, I was born all by myself
– Ngazalwa ngedwa
It’s not unlikely that I’ll die that way as well
– Akunakwenzeka ukuthi nami ngizokufa ngaleyo ndlela
