Donkey - Ola Podrida

We wanted to implement a plan to cover the extent

Of all the trials and tribulations we all underwent

Whispering in alleyways, secret lines we’d never say

To anyone who walks without a limp

Planning for a time in which everyone else made the switch

Deciding they would jump instead of run

But something lodged itself into the gears that brought us all to you

We pleaded to the night to take us home

And when the evening light is fading

We’re still waiting for your wayward kiss

And in the belly of the lion

I am trying to remember what we missed

We collected rabbit’s feet, we screwed the land and sowed the sea

We found the space between the borderlines

We yelled our names over the noise, we saved the girls and drowned the boys

We lay down and we waited for a sign

And when the evening light is fading

We’re still waiting for you here on this road

And in the belly of the lion

I am trying to breathe through his nose
