The Girl With Lampedusa In Her Eyes - Alabama 3

In a bombed out basement in Aleppo

She dreamed a dream

Paddington bear, he was a refugee

A royal wedding on a broken TV

The day the missile took the eyes of her mother

She learned to curtsy, how to bow to the Queen

The names of the celebrities who lit up Oxford st

Now all she can hears is a dead mujahideen

Saying you’ll never, ever grow older

God willing and the creek don’t rise

I’ll be with you tonight in paradise

God willing and the creek don’t rise

I’ll be with you tonight in paradise

Got me an Uber to Golgotha

Got myself a V.I.P ringside seat

Some put it all on a prophet

I put my money on the smuggler and the thief

God willing and the creek don’t rise

I’ll be with you tonight in paradise

God willing and the creek don’t rise

I’ll be with you tonight

I’ll be with you tonight

I’ll be with you tonight in paradise

Said the girl

Said the girl with Lampedusa in her eyes

Said the girl

Said the girl with Lampedusa in her eyes

Said the girl

Said with Lampedusa in her eyes

The smuggler took her money

Said beware of the thief

And never trust a prophet

Who ain’t sailed the seven seas

I got a brothers in the fishing fleet

You wanna walk-on water, walk a while with me

God willing and the creek don’t rise

I’ll be with you tonight

I’ll be with you tonight in paradise
