Andromeda
music & lyrics Eliane Amherd

she said that i was born on a special day
when the earth was open to a cosmic ray
she said that i was born on a special day
that made me like her right away

andromeda princess Andromeda 
andromeda princess Andromeda

have never seen her ever since and it’s already a long time ago
i guess that she has gone back homeback home to new mexico
her father half irish and half from brazilher mother a cherokee
she liked everything from outerspacewas as beautiful as she could be
as beautiful as she could be

andromeda princess Andromeda
andromeda princess Andromeda

i said what are you doing what are you doing all day
she looked right through me and this is what she had to say
we are human beings not doings
human beings not doings
and what is time anyway

she sat down on the floor like she did the day before 
and stared out of the window
down on avenue B
was as beautiful as she could be

i know that one day you will rise up to the skies like remedios
and they will make you their queen 
and you’ll leave all behind
and you will go to places
that no one has seen

andromeda princess andromeda
