The air was more than human and the heat was more than hungry
and the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes
the bulls were running wild because they're big and mean and sacred
and the children were playing cricket with no shoes
the next morning we woke up men with the seven hour drive
but there we were stuck in port Blair
where boats break and children slay
and there were so many fewer questions when
stars were still just the holes to heaven
and there were so many fewer questions when
stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmm
mmm
disembarking from the port with no mistakes of any sort
moving south the engine running smooth
the officials were quite friendly once
we drowned them with our sweet talk
we bribed them with our cigarettes and booze
the next morning we woke up men with the sunrise to the right
moving back north through port Blair
where boats break and children stay
and there were so many fewer questions when
stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmm mmm
yes and there were so many fewer questions
when stars were still just the holes to heaven
mmm
