Banga Lyrics by Patti Smith

Banga

2012

Loyalty rests in the heart of a dog
Don't set all your eggs on the back of a frog
You can lick it twice but it won't lick you
And salvating salvation gone so long so
Loyalty lives and we don't know why
And the paw is pressed against the nerve of the sky
You can leave him behind but he won't leave you
And the road to Heaven is true--true blue
Banga / Say--Banga
Loyalty lives and we don't know why
And his paws are pressed to the spine of the sky
You can leave him twice, but he won't leave you
And the way to Heaven is true--true blue
Banga / Say--Banga
Loneliness lifts when you open the night
Pilate awaits, as Jesus Christ
Forget him not--won't forget about you
The way to Heaven is blue--boo hoo
Banga / Say--Banga
Loyalty shifts if you carry a load
Ah, don't shit it out in a golden commode
You can kick him twice--it'll erode
Night is a mongrel--believe or explode
On the lonely night on a golden rode
Night is a mongrel--believe or explode
