Texty: Nellie McKay. Obligatory Villagers. Politan.

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 que la noche se hace, a la manana 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
Oh as Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific
The moral 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
