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
