Going to Bolivia Lyrics
john: it is the only appliance that grinds the grain into flour
and kneads the dough in the same container
I cut myself a two-foot switch from some tropical hardwood nearby.
and the sounds of a carnival drifted miraculously
through the air from a thousand miles away.
the monkeys jumped from tree to tree.
it sent a deathly chill through me
in bolivia
wildcats I had never seen claimed places in my room.
animal noises rang through the thick brush like voices from the tomb.
I saw the freshly polished chrome
gleaming in the mid-day sun.
and I knew that you were coming home
to bolivia.
hey hey
and kneads the dough in the same container
and the sounds of a carnival drifted miraculously
through the air from a thousand miles away.
the monkeys jumped from tree to tree.
it sent a deathly chill through me
in bolivia
animal noises rang through the thick brush like voices from the tomb.
I saw the freshly polished chrome
gleaming in the mid-day sun.
and I knew that you were coming home
to bolivia.

ok, I have to say that I dont know why but I hear the girl being off key
She might be. Remember that this may have been recorded in a hotel room somewhere.
I feel like the off-keyness gives the song something it couldn't have otherwise. Makes it different.
is it just me, or does the guy in the beginning sound like casey kasem? i definitely don't think its john
