Andalucia Lyrics by Gary Jules

Andalucia Lyrics


    The rattlesnakes and fireflies
    Are stranded at the border between you and me
    And the static on the radio
    Is preaching to the children of infinity
    We stay up late to speak in tongues
    And redefine the boundaries of sanity
    Swaying to the sound of “Sister Ray”
    But we never knew how vulnerable we were
    Andalucia I know you’ve been around
    You’re crazy girl
    Andalucia your hands are on the wheel
    But you’re slipping
    The greener grass we traded
    For the mysteries of skinny hips and confidence
    And the literary casualties were cool
    Because souls are hewn from vowels and consonants
    Stabbed in the eyes by the spectacle of “Up the Beach”
    And we never knew how vulnerable we were
    No we never knew that
    Things get battered
    Things get shaken
    Things get tattered
    And things forsaken
    Things get spent
    And things get spoken
    Things get bent
    And things get broken
    Andalucia I know you’ve been around
    You’re crazy girl
    Andalucia I know you’ve been around
    You’re crazy girl
    Andalucia your hands are on the wheel
    But you’re slipping, you’re slipping
    Andalucia I know you’ve been around
    You’re crazy girl
