Lucette Stranded on the Island

Lyrics

[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?" The building disappears [Chorus] "Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?" "Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?" [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 Can anybody help her?" "Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?" [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 Good riddance he is gone The birds can sing a song He put me ashore 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 The birds can sing a song His billhook caught their eyes The birds can sing a song Blood is on his billhook The birds can sing a song His billhook caught my neck The birds can sing a song How unnaturally I gaze The birds can sing a song How unnaturally I gaze 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 Perpetually alarmed The birds can sing a song I gaze at nothing The birds can sing a song I gaze at nothing The birds can sing a song My emerald is gone The birds can sing a song He lifts my hand The birds can sing a song He lifts my hand The birds can sing a song I hear him The birds can sing a song I hear him [Outro] I don't remember much but "Oh she's been marooned Can anybody help her?"
