Crocodiles歌词

[00:16.83]Into the jaws of a crocodile's dream
[00:20.28]I was riding with El across borders unseen
[00:24.22]Never been there before in that beautiful strange
[00:28.18]Through the deep green jungle to the red Mars plains
[00:32.21]As the hot day drew its thick breath
[00:36.36]We were close enough to flying to be near enough to death
[00:40.48]There were ghosts swimming in my thoughts,
[00:43.45]I'd say that
[00:44.86]I've never been so close to home and so far away, as in
[00:49.55]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[00:51.54]Timor Leste, Timor…
[00:53.60]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[00:55.38]Timor Leste, Timor…
[01:01.61]The motor stopped and the night was still
[01:04.79]Except the fan kept clipping on the window sill
[01:08.73]And the tap kept dripping in our orange room
[01:12.52]My heart was dancing with the elephants BOOM BOOM BOOM
[01:16.81]And I, I couldn't sleep,
[01:18.98]I was wide awake
[01:20.84]Like a super mosquito couldn't catch it or escape from it
[01:25.70]I write songs,
[01:27.08]I don't often pray
[01:28.97]But I've never been so glad for the break of day, as in
[01:34.05]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[01:36.09]Timor Leste, Timor…
[01:38.34]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[01:40.46]Timor Leste, Timor…
[01:42.45]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[01:44.44]Timor Leste, Timor…
[01:50.85]Headlights, bare feet,
[01:52.63]white skirts
[01:53.78]Me and Eloise and Henning meeting Mele on the outskirts
[01:58.40]Into a house where the Reggaeton blazed
[02:01.86]And the palm wine circled til our eyes were glazed
[02:06.01]There was something rare about the way he smiled
[02:09.72]As if the distance of his thoughts equaled more than miles
[02:14.25]I said, "Who we are Tony,
[02:16.69]please explain," and he said
[02:18.75]"Everybody here has at least six names," welcome to
[02:23.07]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[02:25.12]Timor Leste, Timor…
[02:27.21]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[02:29.17]Timor Leste, Timor…
[02:31.22]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[02:33.24]Timor Leste, Timor…
[02:47.31]Sometimes I wonder if we cheat our own maps
[02:50.63]If we re-draw the lines,
[02:52.57]if we distort the facts
[02:54.71]Cos we're too afraid of the love of the deep
[02:58.61]Of the big, green devil in Arte Morris
[03:02.91]He'll eat up your ideas,
[03:05.55]rip up your cause
[03:06.97]Make a bite mark bigger than a king lion's roar
[03:10.86]No gauze could cover that wound,
[03:13.78]white teeth
[03:14.98]Make a crooked white wall of my country's embassy that's in
[03:20.08]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:22.15]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:24.11]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:26.10]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:28.12]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:30.23]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:36.24]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:38.18]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:40.23]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:42.19]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:44.23]Timor Leste, Timor Leste,
[03:46.25]Timor Leste, Timor…
[03:48.17]
