Eating Stones (with Lili'uokalani)

from Virgin Queen by Jonni Greth

/

lyrics

Yeah, I'm sure it's been real hard
Since you decided you were Soren Kirkegaard
I know how you're feelin'
If, by the power of the absurd,
You stifle every painful word,
It messes up your dreamin'
Knight of Faith, how brave you are!
With her vines around your heart,
I'm sure you feel elated,
But you've known it all along
That you and her were bound to part,
But were never separated

'Til the day you died,
And maybe not even then

Oh Hawaii, my father's land
I have climbed up your Diamond Head
To leap into your valley
Oh, land where my father almost died!
I could bounce down your mountainside
I could make you sorry

But when the haoles take your throne,
I hope I'm somewhere eating stones
With Lili'uokalani

When you find yourself alone
On the Silent Danish Throne,
You have to make decisions:
"What's the one thing I love most?
Are these truly holy ghosts?
Is this relationship or religion?"

'Cause we're missing both.
