The Mission Songtext
von Nick Barker

Exploring I fell from the track
Into a land of savages and voodoo
It was poison pens and boiling pots
That made a meal from me and will from you too
And then I found a pound of wax
So I made a mask to cover my escape route
Take some time to fill myself with soul food
And I followed a light that I saw through the trees
And I don′t know how far I crawled on my knees
But I came to a gate and I fell down
And saw a smiling face, a helping hand
A man of God, he helped me up and said
Welcome to the mission
Yeah, welcome to the mission
Welcome to the mission
Hell, son, we missed you
Yeah, you really took your sweet time coming home
Then I awoke like Quantum Leap
Into a land of Adidas and love pills
There was these Barbie dolls with poison tongues


So I made a break and ran as fast as my little legs would go
And then I saw these men I knew
Who'd traded in all their new romance for love-ins
With their silver flares and their Beatles songs
They made themselves a mint, but they made me sick
And I said so, yeah, I told ′em
Then I flew through the air with the greatest of ease
Because some ape in a suit tossed me into the street
It was a lucky escape, I got to my feet
I saw a smiling face, some birds and trees
Some human beings, yeah, they helped me up and said
Welcome to the mission
Yeah, welcome to the mission
Welcome to the mission
Hey, son, we missed you
You really took your sweet time coming home
Took your sweet time coming home
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na, yeah
Yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Hell, son, we missed you
Yeah, you really took your sweet time coming home
