THE IN THE MAP
Music, Ferrante/Lyrics, Lorraine Feather
below the Equator, Beneath a sun a counterfeit paradise And oblivion, Or so told our hero, In 1925, As he back to the river That ate so alive.
It starts as a trickle in the and snow, With more an America still to go. Steamrollers the sea, as New York City. Passable only in the of the heat, In the it rises 40 feet. The hell is a heady trap, So dont down The in the map.
Youd bet such a forest would you, You would that bet. You thought you about fortitude As a cadet! The pranks, the floggings, Were compared to this, As you hack through the hanging boas hiss.
There are bugs thatll kill you with a bite, Turn your cotton to threads in a night, Homicidal no bigger than seeds, millipedes. Still you know you love it and you wont be Though you are fully unafraid. Hits your heart a thunderclap, So dont fall The in the map
in the comfort of Devon, You sweeten tea and sigh now to sleep till eleven, And the old world go by. You at your civilized heaven, And say at last, youll stay, But by the gates The waits To quietly you away. you away,
to the river. Its only in the worst of the heat, In the it rises 40 feet. The green hell is a trap. Dont .
There are bugs thatll kill you with a bite, Turn your britches to threads in a night, Homicidal gnats no bigger seeds, millipedes.
