Lyrics

Challengers

Yes I know it was late We were greeting the sun Before long And you live with someone I live with somebody too Leave it there For safe keeping One of the west village in plains That was the custom Come dawn On the walls of the day In the shade of the sun We wrote down Another vision of us We were the challengers of The unknown "Be safe" you say Whatever the mess you are you mind okay That is the custom On down Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na... Until I see you around Until we clear the accounts Leave it there Leave it to us We are the challengers of The unknown Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la Oh-la, oh-la, oh-la, oh-la
