Your hands are something to look upon//I would even go so far as to say that they are fuckin beautiful//your lips are something to be proud about//I would even go so far as to venture a guess and suggest that they are fuckin perfect.

River 02:28
I been surfing on a sparrow//I been eating bows & arrows but I'm never gonna jump into the river//I been swimming on an upstream//I been looking for a stupid dream but I'm never gonna look inside river//you been looking so mangy//and I been acting real strangely but I'm never gonna get into the river//when we were down in Arequipa//I didn't think you were asleep so I'm never gonna get into the river//I'll get it right one of these days//I'll see it through to the very next stage.

Henrietta 03:01
You're never gonna be in the right place baby//sorry you didn't like your pizza I thought it was decent for South American pizza//you give me the finger and you walk away baby//I didn't think it was the nicest gesture but you didn't blink you put me out to pasture so easily//Henrietta's leaving me//you're looking so sexy on your kiteboard baby//sorry you don't like Fernet I guess it's not for everyone so let's get over it and be done//you're always gonna be in the wrong place baby//lo siento you don't go where the winds blow to feel the fire you need to fuel your fear//Henrietta's outta here//you're gonna distribute the shit out of that beer//you're gonna forget all about me in a year//I'm never gonna get you outta my head baby//sorry I'm not too much of a solid guy//go back to Holland and wonder why...

Vicuña 03:27
Little vicuña in the wind//watch your back and hold on to your skin//little vicuña have no fear//you ain't gonna get sheared this year//little vicuña in the field//protect your neck when your hide gets peeled//little vicuña shed no pain//no worries no worries you go against the grain//but if you feel shame in the desert plain//you've got a friend in me//but only if you try//vicuña pequeña ask por que?//you ain't gonna like what I say//vicuña pequeña please don't lie//you ain't gonna watch the clouds roll by//but if you feel high in the desert night//you've got a friend in me//but only if you try//if it's hard to let go just hold on//if it's hard to hold on just let go.

Condor Song 03:52
I walked across the sand I traveled through your lands but you denied me your wingspan//I kept an eye out for you but you were hiding the truth you wish the world could be new again//it must be the extinction that's headed your way//I swam across the shore I came to see you soar but you denied me condor//you fucked up all my plans I climbed a thousand Andes but it was all for nothing//you might not even see another day//you're freaking me out I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please and I'm ready//everyone around me is wrong and I'd rather be living I'd rather be alive I'd rather be living than on the dead side.

Huacachina 02:54
You were naked at the oasis//there ain't no other way around this//let's drink a bottle of pisco and sort this out//you came from way across the ocean//I come from the tranquil side of the bay//let's get a bottle of Ica rose and drink away this night//if you're the mermaid please don't swallow me I'm doing alright//you were naked at the oasis//it's a tragedy that is faceless but I tried to explain to ya//let's get a coupla Cusqueñas and said across the sea//if you're the mermaid please don't swallow me. You came from way across the ocean I come from the tranquil side of the bay let's get a bottle of Ica rose...
