Lucette Stranded On The Island
I call my name Aloud Looking for what I remember My name I know I love going to the movies
I turn and see my childhood home On this new beach Where strange birds fly Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com These birds swoop right over Looking out for me
'Who is she?' 'Where does she come from?' The building disappears
[Chorus x3] 'Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?'
The sun comes up Slower than I remember A man I know He lights his cigarette with nothing Not a smile or memory His shadow still wet as my gash against the rock Sharp and high on the Balearic promontory I see his ship go What stings me? These birds can't stop the waves
[Chorus x2] 'Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?'
The birds can sing a song He covered me in cactus I don't remember much but Good riddance he is gone He put me ashore At 4 am The man is gone Good riddance he is gone His billhook caught their eyes Blood is on his billhook His billhook caught my neck How unnaturally I gaze I don't remember much but He turned me around My mouth quivered Perpetually alarmed I gaze at nothing My emerald is gone He lifts my hand I hear him
