m a r a c a Lyrics

His face fascinates me

Mischievous yet kind

But with a softness

I hadn't expected to find

His soft eyes are soft lashed

His soft fingers softly holding mass

Soft body, soft eyes, soft hands

But the tongue, as rough as sand

A pebble pushed into my mouth

A peppermint from a million miles south

Single letters spelling out a single word

A message from the other side of the world

M A R A C A, maraca

This is enough to take me away

That she could know is insane

As insane as chirruping cicadas

As insane as hissing maracas

Maracas humming like a rash

Is this espionage or witchcraft

How could she possibly know

A message from the other side of the world

Single letters spelling out a single world

Maracas wound up too tight and crackling

Bone and droppings inside a taut skin

M A R A C A, maraca

All is still now

He says

I know this number

It is my wife

He has a wife
