Tropical Fuck Storm Maria 63 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It took me years but then we finally
Had a time and place to meet
She looked a whole lot like her mother
If she was who she claimed to be
But I had my doubts as I walked
Out of the airport to my car
Then I watched all Buenos Aires melting
Through the rain pelting the glass

[Chorus 1]
And oh, Maria
As a child I loved you most
Oh, Maria
I'm not so stubborn now, not even close

[Verse 2]
I knocked, she led me up
She filled a kettle in the sink
Told me her mother bought the place
After she got out of Berlin
She weren't staying to thank no Russian tank
None of her sisters got away
Some wound up turned into lampshades
While the rest burned at the stake
But Maria with her iron cross
Had fled into the sky
She reached the old Chilean border
Wrapped in a deerskin with her child

[Chorus 2]
But oh, Maria
I thought that you could read my mind
Oh, Maria
I'm no reporter, you have no child

[Verse 3]
You see, what I'm sayin'
Is Maria's here with us now
And that's 'cause she is you
And you will live forever
And it's too late to know
If the rest is lies or truth
But I do know you're proof
That there's no God in heaven

[Verse 4]
Oh, Maria
Who vanished without trace
Is now sat face to face
With someone who remembers
Oh, Maria
Is it a blessing or a curse
How all your men die with the Earth
And yet your life is endless?
Oh, Maria
My work will set you free
It's like a gift from you to me
By way of deception
And you can run
But you'll never get away
So if you're gonna make your play
The time is now or never
