  • I call my name aloud
    Looking for what I remember
    My name I know
    I love going to the movies

    I turn and see my childhood home
    On this new beach where strange bird fly
    These birds swoop right over
    Looking out for me

    "Who is she?"
    "Where does she come from?"
    The birds sang so loud

    "Oh she's been marooned, oh
    Can anybody help her?"

    "Oh she's been marooned
    Can anybody help her?" (oh)

    "Oh she's been marooned
    Can anybody help her?"

    The sun comes up
    Slower than I remember
    A man I know
    He lights his cigarette with nothing
    Not a smile or memory
    His shadow still wet as my gash against the the rock
    Sharp and high on the Balearic promontory
    I see his ship go
    What stings me?
    These birds can't stop the waves

    "Oh she's been marooned, oh
    Can anybody help her?" (oh)

    "Oh she's been marooned (oh)
    Can anybody help her?" (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

    The birds can sing a song
    "He covered me in cactus"
    The birds can sing a song
    "I don't remember much but"
    The birds can sing a song
    "He turned me around"
    The birds can sing a song
    "My mouth quivered"
    The birds can sing a song
    "It's 4 am"
    The birds can sing a song
    "The man is gone"
    The birds can sing a song
    "The man is gone"
    The birds can sing a song
    "Good riddance, he is gone"
    "His billhook caught their eyes"
    "Blood is on his billhook"
    "His billhook caught my neck"
    "How unnaturally I gaze"
    "How unnaturally I gaze"
    "I gaze at nothing"
    "I gaze at nothing"
    "My emerald is gone"
    "He lifts my hand"
    "He lifts my hand"
    "I hear him"
    "I hear him"

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
    I don't know much but

    "Oh she's been marooned
    Can anybody help her?" Writer/s: JULIA HOLTER
