Tropicalia Lyrics

There are enough mistakes there for me to suggest someone change it to this:

Oh when they beat upon a broken guitar And on the streets they reek of tropical charms The embassies lie in hideous shards Where tourists snore and decay

And when they dance in a reptile blaze You wear a mask an equatorial haze Into the past a colonial maze Where there's no more confetti to throw

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself Love is a poverty you couldn't sell Misery waits in vague hotels to be evicted

You're out of luck, you're singing funeral songs To the studs, they're anabolic and bronze They seem to strut, in their millennial fog Till they fall down and deflate

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself Love is a poverty you couldn't sell Misery waits in vague hotels to be evicted

Oh and now you've had your fun Under an air-conditioned sun It's burned into your eyes Leaves you plain and left behind I see them rise and fall Into the jaws of a pestilent love

You wouldn't know what to say to yourself Love is a poverty you couldn't sell Misery waits in vague hotels to be evicted
