SAND AND FOAM Lyrics)
Intro : Em
The sun was going down
Behind the tattoo tree
And the simple act of an oar’s stroke
Put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus
There in quantity
I dug you digging me
In Mexico.

There in the valley of Scorpio
Beneath the cross of jade
Smoking on the seashell pipe
The gypsies had made
We sat and we dreamed a while
Of smugglers bringing wine
That crystal thought time
In Mexico.

Sitting in a chair of bamboo
Sipping grenadine
Straining my eyes for a
Surfacing submarine
Kingdoms of ants
Walk across my feet
I’m a-shaking in my seat
In Mexico.

Grasshoppers creaking
In the velvet jungle night
Microscopic circles
In the fluid of my sight
Watching a black-eyed native girl
Cut and trim the lamp
Valentino vamp
In Mexico.

The sun was going down
Behind the tattoo tree
And the simple act of an oar’s stroke
Put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus
There in quantity
I dug you digging me
In Mexico.
