Squirrel Nut Zippers Lyrics

"West Of Zanzibar"

West of Zanzibar

There's a place where you can go
It's no matter where you are
When your spirit's feeling low
Meet me west of Zanzibar

A hideaway across the sea
Is waiting there for you and me
Come to me darling, where you are
East of Eden, West of Zanzibar

There's no reason to cry, my love
This is not goodbye, my love
That's where I'll chase my falling star
East of Eden, West of Zanzibar

The minarets make silhouettes
Such an exciting, exotic refrain
In perfect fright, I spend my nights
My darkest days in the alleyways

I pine away each lonesome hour
Two lips like fragrant spices and flowers
There's no denyin' what the spirit craves
East of Eden, West of Zanzibar

A hideaway across the sea
Is waiting there for you and me
Come to me darling, where you are
East of Eden, West of Zanzibar

West of Zanzibar
