Nellie McKay - Politan lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Politan lyrics]
Santa Maria, can you hear me
I've got no reason to live
They say I've been lucky
But, it's all relative
Won't you make it easy
I've got to erase all the pain
They say it's behind me
But it keeps coming back
But, if you knew, my love
Then you would see, my love
Never meant to interfere with all your plans
And if you cannot see
Why don't you come for me
And escape me to the world of Politan
Lo qué la noche se hace a la mañana parece
Policeman, please, arrest me
I'd rather live in a jail
Than have to stay out here
Where everything fails
Won't you give me something
I'll pay you awfully well
I will reimburse you
If you'll just make the deal
But, if you knew, my love
Then you would see, my love
Never meant to interfere with all your plans
And if you cannot see
Why don't you come for me
And escape me to the world of Politan
You gotta say, I'm an island in the Pacific
As Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific
The more of the story is a doozy
Dizzy parade
You gotta say, I'm an island, oh
You can't fake it
No, if everybody knew the way to make it
The laurel and the glory would be taken, man
I'd be made
I've got no reason to live
They say I've been lucky
But, it's all relative
Won't you make it easy
I've got to erase all the pain
They say it's behind me
But it keeps coming back
But, if you knew, my love
Then you would see, my love
Never meant to interfere with all your plans
And if you cannot see
Why don't you come for me
And escape me to the world of Politan
Lo qué la noche se hace a la mañana parece
Policeman, please, arrest me
I'd rather live in a jail
Than have to stay out here
Where everything fails
Won't you give me something
I'll pay you awfully well
I will reimburse you
If you'll just make the deal
But, if you knew, my love
Then you would see, my love
Never meant to interfere with all your plans
And if you cannot see
Why don't you come for me
And escape me to the world of Politan
You gotta say, I'm an island in the Pacific
As Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific
The more of the story is a doozy
Dizzy parade
You gotta say, I'm an island, oh
You can't fake it
No, if everybody knew the way to make it
The laurel and the glory would be taken, man
I'd be made
