Nellie Mckay Politan Lyrics

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 que la noche se hace, a la manana 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

Oh as Miss O'Day would say, the view's terrific

The moral 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
