lyrics

Everybody knows
That our cities were built to be destroyed
Everybody knows
That our cities were built to be destroyed
You get annoyed,
You buy a flat
You hide behind the mat
But I know she was
Born to have nothing to do with all of that
But I know she was
Born to have nothing to do with all of that

Maria Bethania,
Please send me a letter
I wish to know things
Are getting better

She has given her soul to the devil
But the devil gave his soul to god
She has given her soul to the devil
But the devil gave his soul to god
Before the flood,
After the blood
Before you can see
She has given her soul to the devil
And bought a flat by the sea
She has given her 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, Beta, Beta
Bethania,
Please send me a letter

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 fruit,
You go ahead
You wake up on your bed
But I love her face
Cuz it has nothing to do with all I've said
But I love her face
Cuz it has nothing to do with all I've said

Maria Bethania,
Please send me a letter
I wish to know things
Are getting better, better, Beta, Beta
Bethania,
Please send me a letter
I wish to know things
Are getting better
