A Song
I learned to say surrender with a letter
(Tried out all the letters)
Just like you tried out all of me
I learned to say forgotten with a story
(Used up all the letters)
Just like you used up all of me
Amanita, Radio
I've never been to Mexico (la la la)
I never learned to see the sky
The way you thought I could
Listen to the radio
They're singing songs about Mexico
I'm singing songs you'll never hear
She same across the ocean wearing loneliness
(She wore it on her sweater)
Just like you wore it out on me
She only thinks of simple things
Of diamond rings and paper kings
She only thinks of all the things that might not be
Amanita, Radio
I've never been to Mexico (la la la)
I never learned to see the sky
The way you thought I could
Listen to the radio
They're singing songs about Mexico
I'm singing songs you'll never hear
I learned to say surrender with a letter
(Try out all the letters)
Just like you tried out all of me
I learned to say forgotten with a story
(Used up all the letters)
Just like the time you used up all of me
Amanita, Radio
I've never been to Mexico (la la la)
I never learned to see the sky
The way you thought I could
Listen to the radio
They're singing songs about Mexico
I'm singing songs you'll never hear
