Brazzaville - Casa Batllo lyrics
[Brazzaville - Casa Batllo lyrics]
When I met her down in the Tenderloin
Sipping tea vicodin pills, some scotch
And a sweater soon I was feeling
Back on my feet
She lived in a little shack by the water
The sound of the ships would lull
Us to sleep a couple of sloths the world
Had forgotten with nothing but youth
And faraway dreams after the saints fly home
Solomon resting in his tomb
Paperbacks on a train
Sugarcane fields all wet with rain
Hurricane lanterns glow
After the rain the boats are slow
I’d rather be left behind
Nothing’s as pure as an empty mind
