that woman set herself on fire

they said it on the radio


they said she lit off the skies of palestine

i could not stand to hear them say so

i saw the stars come out

i saw the oranges on the trees

later on they played some carribean song

man they sure know how to pick 'em

the rich voice burning like a fuse

the syncopated rhythms

i saw the stars come out

i saw the oranges cracking open

i saw you standing there

orange blossom in your hair

going to palestine

going to palestine
