I get lost in the maelstrom[00:00:33]
I lose concentration[00:00:36]
I see fish in the water[00:00:39]
But too fast for me[00:00:42]
So I go climbing up the long road[00:00:45]
That leads out to the backstreets[00:00:48]
And in a great walled garden[00:00:51]
Is the place that I'm looking for[00:00:54]
I've come to see[00:00:57]
The Mambo Queen of the Sandstone city[00:00:58]
She sees things that I cannot see[00:01:03]
Breaks it down like a true punk rocker[00:01:09]
Because nothing is ever what it seems[00:01:15]
She's got a puritan angel[00:01:21]
She brought back from the Congo[00:01:26]
He stands guard over the virgins[00:01:34]
He stands watching in my dreams[00:01:37]
She sculpts things in the garden[00:01:40]
Where there are trees full of wind-chimes[00:01:44]
They start ringing when she walks by[00:01:48]
Like a wild weather warning[00:02:30]
She's the Mambo Queen of the Sandstone city[00:02:34]
She reads signs that I cannot see[00:02:39]
Breaks it down like a true punk rocker[00:02:47]
To splinters of mirror glass at my feet[00:02:53]
And I have always loved her[00:03:00]
I just didn't realise[00:03:06]
It's a world full of curses[00:03:09]
That we carry to the grave[00:03:13]
But she knows all about that[00:03:16]
She takes weight from my shoulders[00:03:20]
She breathes fire on the deadwood[00:03:31]
She breathes fire in my blood[00:03:40]
