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
