David Bowie
Amlapura
Written by - David Bowie & Reeves Gabrels
From - Tin Machine II
Hey...hey it's the tall sail
On a beach reach for java
Make way for to Java
Watching for Boogies
Hey...hey it's a dreaming
I would burn you if you should die
Hey...hey I would burn, too
If you should lie upon that bamboo pyre

Chorus:
I dream of Amlapura
Never saw in all my life a more shining jewel
I dream of Amlapura
Of an ocean or dream of a princess in stone

Hey...hey golden roses around
A rajah's mouth
Hey...hey all the dead children buried standing
A flying Dutchman 
Smoking gun and spice wind

Chorus

I dream of Amlapura
Of a princess in stone
Hey...hey it's a tall ship
Hey...hey 
Hey...hey
Amlapura
