Honeymoon In Polynesia
Another winning entry for Songfight!. Sort of a fantasy of amnesia. I know that doesn't help any but you'll have to run with it. Tonamel provides vocals for the break (although he probably doesn't know it) which I dutifully reversed and pitch shifted for harmony. I was at a loss for lyrics until I stumbled across some supposedly "traditional" Polynesian sayings that I use as a base.
a warrior dies in battle
climbers die on the cliff
gardeners die by aging
in the end they're all stiff
when fighters fall, another
will rise - a new name
fame in war is soon forgotten
but hunger remains
honeymoon in the garden of eden
it's not what it seems
after dining on cassava and honey
i've had these weird dreams
where i don't know if it's trippin
can't tell when it's not
but i can't wait till we're goin
don't need what's forgot
and i've come to think
that this posturing act is a gas
but if someone's gonna fall then I'll pass
cause it really isn't me after all
spent some time in Maupiti
what I remember is thin
Motu One hosts a pleasent reefee
great place for a swim
now i can't see where I'm going
just know where i been
i don't know what I'm saying
but I know what I mean
and i come to think
that this posturing act is a gas
but if someone's gonna fall then I'll pass
cause it really isn't me after all
