Mafia Island

[Verse 1]

Yes, we sailed

Over the storm whipped, jade-green sea

On Chephren's barge to Mafia island

We broke coral and drank whiskey

In the glowing heat

And the sun sail slattered in the wind

Like berserk machine guns

[Chorus]

And the girls from the bar

They were bathing at the beach

And they sang in their melancholic voice

Soft words that were caught

Between the sound of the waves

And they sang in a melancholic voice

[Verse 2]

We're stuck here for good

The radio had broken off

Just a few days ago

The ether swelled as the earth ran dry

Nothing moved in the flickering ardor

[Chorus]

And the girls from the bar

They were bathing at the beach

And they sang in their melancholic voice

Soft words that were caught

Between the sound of the waves

Yes, they sang in a melancholic voice

Melancholic

And the girls from the bar

They were bathing at the beach

And they sang in a melancholic voice

Soft words that were caught between the sound of the waves

And the girls from the bar

They were bathing at the beach

And they sang in a melancholic voice

Soft words that were caught between the sound of the waves

And they sang in a melancholic voice

Melancholic
