Scott Walker - Maria Bethania lyrics

Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed Everybody knows that our cities were built to be destroyed You get to know it You buy a flat You hide behind the mat But I know she was born to do everything Wrong before our love died But I know she was born to do everything Wrong before our love died Maria Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting Better better better better better Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better She has give out a soul to the devil but The devil gave his soul to God She has give out a soul to the devil but The devil gave his soul to God. Before the flood After the flood Before you can't see She has given the soul to the devil And bought a flat by the sea She has given the soul to the devil And bought a flat by the sea Maria Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better, Better, better, better, better. Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root Everybody knows that it's so hard to dig and get to the root You eat the food You go ahead You wake up on your head But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said But I love her face cause it has nothing to do with all I said Maria Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better Better, better, better, better Bethania please send me a letter I wish to know things are getting better
