She's almost 17

she breathes in gasoline

and when she falls asleep

she's got these crazy dreams



pirates take young girls away

and burn down everything



she likes blue macaws

cause she can make them talk

and she sees islands in the street

between the cars which are like

waves on the beach



(chorus)

she's sick of gasoline

she's sick of waiting

for Barbarossa

Barbarossa

Barbarossa



she gets into his pickup truck

he takes her to Africa

drops her off in a parking lot

she dreams of pearls and coconuts



(chorus
