[Verse 1]
I call my name aloud
Looking for what I remember
My name I know
I love going to the movies
I turn and see my childhood home
On this new beach where strange birds fly
These birds swoop right over, looking out for me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
"Who is she?
Where does she come from?"
These birds sang so loud

[Chorus]
"Oh, she's been marooned"
Ha-ah-ha
"Can anybody help her?"
Ha-ah
"Oh, she's been marooned"
Oh-oh
"Can anybody help her?"
Oh-ho, oh

[Post-Chorus]
"Oh, she's been marooned
Can anybody help her?"
[Verse 2]
The sun comes up
Slower than I remember
A man I know
He lights his cigarette with nothing
Not a smile or memory
His shadow still wet as my gash against the rock
Sharp and high on the Balearic promontory, I

[Pre-Chorus 2]
See his ship go
What stings me?
These birds can't stop the waves

[Chorus]
"Oh, she's been marooned"
Ha-ah-ha
"Can anybody help her?"
Ha-ah
"Oh, she's been marooned"
Ha-ah-ha-oh
"Can anybody help her?"
Ha-ah, ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ah

[Interlude]
(The birds can sing a song)
He covered me in cactus
(The birds can sing a song)
I don't remember much but
(The birds can sing a song)
He turned me around
(The birds can sing a song)
My mouth quivered
(The birds can sing a song)
At 4 am
(The birds can sing a song)
The man is gone
(The birds can sing a song)
The man is gone
(The birds can sing a song)
Good riddance he is gone
His billhook caught their eyes
Blood is on his billhook
His billhook caught my neck
How unnaturally I gaze
How unnaturally I gaze
I gaze at nothing
I gaze at nothing
My emerald is gone
He lifts my hand
He lifts my hand
I hear him
I hear him
[Outro]
La, ah-la-la, la-la
I don't remember much but
"Oh, she's been marooned
Can anybody help her?"
