Nellie McKay - Politan lyrics

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 maáana 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
