letra de lucette stranded on the island (live at rak) - julia holter

[verse 1]
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
these birds swoop right over, looking out for me

[pre-chorus 1]
“who is she?
where does she come from?”
these birds sang so loud
[chorus]
“oh, she’s been marooned”
ha-ah-ha
“can anybody help her?”
ha-ah
“oh, she’s been marooned”
oh-oh
“can anybody help her?”
oh-ho, oh

[post-chorus]
“oh, she’s been marooned
can anybody help her?”

[verse 2]
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

[pre-chorus 2]
see his ship go
what stings me?
these birds can’t stop the waves
[chorus]
“oh, she’s been marooned”
ha-ah-ha
“can anybody help her?”
ha-ah
“oh, she’s been marooned”
ha-ah-ha-oh
“can anybody help her?”
ha-ah, ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ah

[interlude]
(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 am
(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
[outro]
la, ah-la-la, la-la
i don’t remember much but
“oh, she’s been marooned
can anybody help her?”
