Lucette Stranded on the Island (Live at RAK)
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?
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?
