Made a name as a bad news prophet
Though you still tell me I'm not
Not that there's a corner on it
But that I do it a lot
Now you're pushin', pushin' a beach ball under water
As you try, to hold onto your dreams
And the harder you push, it only makes it harder
Still you dream about
Cartagena, Cartagena...
Drew a map out of salt and honey
And I been keepin' it close
Not that I'd a seen it comin
But I know savoury sweetens the dose
Now you're pushin', pushin' a beach ball under water
As you try, to hold onto your dreams
And the harder you push, it only makes it harder
Still you dream about
Cartagena, Cartagena...
Every limb is growin'
From the same tree
And every river's flowin'
Into the same sea
That's how it goes
But we're blowin it big time
As you no doubt know...
Can we learn how to float?
