Politan — Nellie McKay

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 qu© la noche se hace A la ma?ana 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 As Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific The more 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
