The air was more than human |
|
And the heat was more than hungry |
|
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes |
|
The boars were running wild |
|
Because they're big and mean and sacred |
|
And the children playing cricket with no shoes |
|
That morning we woke up man |
|
To a seven-hour drive |
|
Well there we were in South Batong |
|
Where women are men and men go wrong |
|
And there were so many fewer questions |
|
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm |
|
Man and there were so many fewer questions |
|
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm |
|
The officials were quite friendly |
|
Once we bribed them with our sweet talk |
|
And we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze |
|
Disembarking from the port |
|
With no mistakes of any sort |
|
Moving south the engine running smooth |
|
The next morning we woke up man |
|
With the sunrise to the right well |
|
Moving back north to Port Blair |
|
Where boats break and children stare |
|
And there were so many fewer questions |
|
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm |
|
Man and there were so many fewer questions |
|
When stars were still just the holes to heaven |
