A Song

I learned to say surrender with a letter

(Tried out all the letters)

Just like you tried out all of me

I learned to say forgotten with a story

(Used up all the letters)

Just like you used up all of me

Amanita, Radio

I've never been to Mexico (la la la)

I never learned to see the sky

The way you thought I could

Listen to the radio

They're singing songs about Mexico

I'm singing songs you'll never hear

She same across the ocean wearing loneliness

(She wore it on her sweater)

Just like you wore it out on me

She only thinks of simple things

Of diamond rings and paper kings

She only thinks of all the things that might not be

Amanita, Radio

I've never been to Mexico (la la la)

I never learned to see the sky

The way you thought I could

Listen to the radio

They're singing songs about Mexico

I'm singing songs you'll never hear

I learned to say surrender with a letter

(Try out all the letters)

Just like you tried out all of me

I learned to say forgotten with a story

(Used up all the letters)

Just like the time you used up all of me

Amanita, Radio

I've never been to Mexico (la la la)

I never learned to see the sky

The way you thought I could

Listen to the radio

They're singing songs about Mexico

I'm singing songs you'll never hear
