Lucette Stranded on the Island - Julia Holter

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 birds fly

These birds swoop right over

Looking out for me

Who is she

Where does she come from

The building disappears

Oh she's been marooned

Can anybody help her

Oh she's been marooned

Can anybody help her

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 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

Can anybody help her

Oh she's been marooned

Can anybody help her

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

Good riddance he is gone

The birds can sing a song

He put me ashore

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

The birds can sing a song

His billhook caught their eyes

The birds can sing a song

Blood is on his billhook

The birds can sing a song

His billhook caught my neck

The birds can sing a song

How unnaturally I gaze

The birds can sing a song

How unnaturally I gaze

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

Perpetually alarmed

The birds can sing a song

I gaze at nothing

The birds can sing a song

I gaze at nothing

The birds can sing a song

My emerald is gone

The birds can sing a song

He lifts my hand

The birds can sing a song

He lifts my hand

The birds can sing a song

I hear him

The birds can sing a song

I hear him

Ahh la la la la la

I don't remember much but

Oh she's been marooned

Can anybody help her
