Green Papaya Lyrics by Sarah Wheeler

Out of the Woodwork

2011

Green papaya and minced meat
She looked up to me and said:
"Wake me up in the morning, I'll be putting out the dead"
Flying saucers and cutlery soaring from your throat
I caught one knife with my bare hand and stepped onto the boat
Two monkeys with rhinestone eyes and catatonic stares
I'm thirsty for your whiskey sour, let's summersault in pairs
Then you dove into the water as I shouted from the shore
Please don't leave me hollerin' 'cause drinkins' an established bore
And crying from the corner, as she looked into his smile
He bopped and dodged the bullets and swallowed oysters with his eyes
You carved up the turkey and I sliced up the lime
If the train must leave tomorrow at least we had our time
