about

Verses one and two and the chorus were Written in Hawaii after jumping off a 40 foot cliff into the Pacific Ocean. Verse three and the last chorus were written back in New Orleans. The spirits of New Orleans demanded to be represented in the song. We made a video for this one. U can watch it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB-vLCR-93s

lyrics

I come from the city
To tangle Love Songs
In your hair

It really is so pretty
To hear the ocean
Laughing in the air

I crawled out a Volcano
To look into your eyes
I’m a bashful earthquake
Trembling between your thighs

Pele brings me pleasure
And a warning shot of pain
I fell five hundred miles
To the bottom of the rain

Where I met a mermaid
Who gave me a guitar
With a broken piece of wood
It’s magically bizarre

How everything’s connected
But some things more than others
So break out of the sand
My sisters and my brothers

Truth is dark
Like outer space
Mama has a salt water signature
When she signs her masterpiece of waves

I crawled out a Volcano
To look into your eyes
I’m a bashful earthquake
Trembling between your thighs

Pele brings me pleasure
And a warning shot of pain
I fell five hundred miles
To the bottom of the rain

Where I met a mermaid
Who gave me a guitar
With a broken piece of wood
It’s magically bizarre

How everything’s connected
But some things more than others
So break out of the sand
My sisters and my brothers

I am Edith Piaff
Reincarnated
As a Mexican Ranchero

Stitching stanzas to eternity
That become severed
Like the wing of a sparrow

I crawled back in the volcano
After looking in your eyes
I’m a broken piece of mirror
Shattered in the night

The crows back home are lovely
The swamp runs in my blood
Be there for each other
It’s everything I love

I’m gracious when I’m hungry
As below so above
You heard me baby
I’m crazy for your love

(( D. Santamaria ))
