John Kongos Tokoloshe Man Lyrics

Make your bed up high
Pray into the sky
Close the window, close the door
Make no difference if you're rich or poor

Get on your knees, scream, please
That man just love to tease
Try to run, get a gun
He just laugh, it makes it more fun

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight

Hard like rock, ain't got no soul
He can make the sun feel cold
Put an eclipse on the moon
Make a little cloud forty day monsoon

Don't recognize no hawk
Don't recognize no dove
Bad Tokoloshe man
He don't even recognize love

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight

Only thing I can say to you
You gotta be good, you gotta be true
Think about Jesus Christ
Think about Jesus Christ

And it makes no difference if you're yellow or you're red
When that bad man say tonight is the night you are dead
And it makes no difference if you're black or you're white
When Tokoloshe say tonight is the night, it's tonight

Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight
Tonight is the night, it's tonight

It's tonight
It's tonight
