São Paulo

Sit down, my love of open spaces

And breathe, my love, it's all been spent

I'm going to tell you both a story

About some memories that I dreamt

See, I've lost love in many places

Not least the streets of Sao Paulo

And friends especially, I didn't make them

A ten floor window to her home

Sometimes I could cry for miles

Sometimes I could cry for miles

Sometimes I could cry for miles

But I don't

So hush the shadows in the oak tree

Be still, curl you on the moor

My heart has fallen by the wayside

I cannot claim her anymore

So don your duffel coats quite slowly

And this start to reset, adjourn

While on the streets of old Sao Paulo

I watch my baby being burned

Sometimes I could cry for miles

Sometimes I could cry for miles

Sometimes I could cry for miles

But I don't

Sometimes I could cry, die inside

Drop my bags and run for miles

And sometimes I could live my life

But I wont, but I won't

Have you ever been thrown across the water?

Have you ever been thrown across the water?

Have you ever been thrown across the water

Till there's no skin left on your bones?

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Get me a doctor, get me a doctor

Who will get rid of my bones

Or get me a lover, get me a lover

Who will leave my head alone

Get me a soldier, get me a soldier

Who will fight me pointless war

Get me an exit, I need an exit

I need a window or a door

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Ay, get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer

Who will sue the world for me

Get me a person, get me a person

Get me a person who isn't me

'Cause I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired

Of my stupid little face

I don't belong here, don't belong here

Don't belong in this horse race

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone

Thrown across water, thrown across water

Thrown across water like a stone
