Lucette Stranded on the Island - Live at RAK

Lyrics

You 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
 These birds swoop right over, looking out for me
 Who is she?
 Where does she come from?
 These birds sang so loud
 Oh, she's been marooned
 Can anybody help her?
 Oh, she's been marooned
 Can anybody help her?
 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
 Oh, she's been marooned
 Can anybody help her?
 Oh, she's been marooned
 Can anybody help her?
 The birds can sing a song
 He covered me in cactus
 The birds can sing a song
 I don't remember much but
 The birds can sing a song
 He turned me around
 The birds can sing a song
 My mouth quivered
 The birds can sing a song
 At 4:00 a.m.
 The birds can sing a song
 The man is gone
 The birds can sing a song
 The man is gone
 The birds can sing a song
 Good riddance he is gone
 His billhook caught their eyes
 Blood is on his billhook
 His billhook caught my neck
 How unnaturally I gaze
 How unnaturally I gaze
 I gaze at nothing
 I gaze at nothing
 My emerald is gone
 He lifts my hand
 He lifts my hand
 I hear him
 I hear him
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 I don't know much but
 Oh, she's been marooned
 Can anybody help her?
