Seven Nation Army
Tomer G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A time to live, a place to live
Be be ay, be be ay
Around the world, around the world
Around the world be be ay, be be ay
A time to go a time to leave
A place to go a love to give
When traveling around the world
My army of lovers
Disney world to Yellowknife
America my way of life
Riding on a wave of love
My army of lovers
A cherry moon a night of fun
We dance into the rising sun
I lost my soul in Tokyo
My army of lovers
Around the world, around the world
Around the world be be ay, be be ay
Saint-Tropez to la Défense
A perfumed Latin lover's scent
A pleasure sweet my body heat
My army of lovers
My gentlemen polite and proud
From London Tower I wave goodbye
The scorpio is rising high
My army of lovers
Around the world, around the world
Around the world be be ay, be be ay
Pour l'univers on quitte la Terre
Heureux joyeux
L'amour de Dieu n'a pas de frontière
Pour l'armée qui voyage sous la lumière
In crystal snow my palace guard
My cosmonaut from Leningrad
Come shoot me with your laser beam
My army of lovers
Taj-Mahal I've come to rest
A royal bed a lovers nest
Classic art we here explore
My army of lovers
Around the world, around the world
Around the world be be ay, be be ay
Around the world, my army of lovers
Around the world be be ay, be be ay




Around the world, my army of lovers
Around the world be be ay, be be ay
