Sand and Foam Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The sun was goin' down behind a tattooed tree
And the simple act of an oar's stroke put diamonds in the sea
And all because of the phosphorus there in quantity
As I dug you diggin' me in Mexico
[Verse 2]
There in the valley of Scorpi, 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
In that crystal thought time in Mexico
[Verse 3]
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-shakin' in my seat in Mexico
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 1]
The sun was goin' down behind a tattooed 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 diggin' me in Mexico
